Trump Posts Truth Social Ranking of 34 Presidents, Puts Himself First
Trump’s ranking places 34 presidents into five tiers, with himself first and Biden, Obama and Carter among the failures.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump posted an image on Truth Social ranking 34 U.S. presidents into five categories—Great, Near Great, Average, Below Average, and Failures—placing himself alone at the top.
- The list classifies Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Woodrow Wilson, and Franklin D. Roosevelt as Great, while also elevating Andrew Jackson, who ordered the displacement of Native Americans, to the same tier.
- Trump labeled former Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama as Failures alongside Jimmy Carter, while entirely omitting Richard Nixon, both Bushes, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, and Harry Truman from the ranking.
- Critics argue the ranking serves to attack political enemies, noting his exclusion of Kennedy and Johnson, who championed civil rights, while describing the post as promotional self-aggrandizement.
- The ranking reflects Trump's ongoing digital strategy on Truth Social, where he frequently uses such tiered lists and commentary to promote his views while attacking political opponents.
