Have they ever evaluated Presidents during their terms before? I thought they always waited until they were at least out of office for a few years. I agree Trump will no doubt be a bottom-10 President, but only time will tell if he's Buchanan-bad or just Carter-bad.

It's also a little eye-rolling that the Democrat scholars would rank FDR over Washington (if only by a point). Seriously...?

Exactly how are these Presidents' being measured and how are they accounting for inflation....is the Garfield survey of white employed men being seen as equal to unemployed minority women during Carter years?

Oh. wait....either way nobody cares because its all subjective pandering for people who neither have the time nor intellect to understand their own government.

Yes. When we measure the greatness of Presidents throughout history we dig up all the thousands of obscure stats and crunch them in a computer which generates a value. That's how it's done.

You’re referring to Trump and his Base? I suppose your description fits.

President Donald Trump claimed he is "the most popular person in the history of the Republican Party," during an interview with a British newspaper on Thursday.

During a conversation with The Sun, Trump insisted his approval rating among Republicans landed at 92%, "beating [Abraham] Lincoln."

"I beat our Honest Abe," Trump said.

While it wasn't immediately clear which poll Trump was referring to in his mention of Abraham Lincoln, Gallup's presidential approval ratings only stretch back to the Truman administration, from 1945 to 1953. Lincoln died in 1865.

Someone needs to let Trump know that Lincoln died in 1865, and that he was assassinated, so that he can publicly announce this tragic "news" to the world.

Which one got us into the Great Depression? I'm sure he's not faring too well. Also, that guy that got us into Iraq, missed on Osama when he was in Afghanistan, gave us the TSA, and plunged us into another endless cycle of debt...

He's a national embarrassment. Ironically, the people who voted for him don't like to be called stupid.

It's monkeys not liking people calling them poo-flingers. If they really didn't like it, they would fling something else. Of course, monkey lovers will tell you they only fling their poo because people call them poo-flingers.

It's a vicious circle. Apparently, the only way to stop it is to pretend the monkeys don't fling poo.
