Every Presidents Day, Democrat media outlets release their hilariously biased lists ranking the presidents – lists compiled by Democrats who call themselves “historians.” (LMAO) Remember, the past decades have seen Democrats drive most non-Democrats from the “educational” profession.
Democrats like to pretend those prejudiced historians’ opinions carry more weight than the opinions of other people as part of their overall philosophy that everyone must bow to so-called “experts.” Remember, Democrats idiotically think someone has to be a biologist to define what a woman is as another example of their “Only experts who subscribe to The Party’s talking points should be listened to” approach.
I’m presenting my own ranking of the presidents in this blog post, but obviously people are free to disregard it as readily as they disregard all other such lists. These lists are fun conversationally, but none of them – including mine – have any relevance in the real world.
FIRST, I AM DOING WHAT ANY SUCH LIST COMPILER SHOULD DO IF THEY ARE SUPPOSEDLY TRYING TO BE AS OBJECTIVE AS POSSIBLE: I am omitting the most recent presidents because of the way emotion (and hysteria in some cases) can color perceptions of them. Presidential rankings lists which go all the way up to the present year are used simply as partisan political propaganda, not as true assessments.
Here is my ranking of U.S. presidents:
ABRAHAM LINCOLN
FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT
THEODORE ROOSEVELT
DWIGHT EISENHOWER
GEORGE WASHINGTON
GROVER CLEVELAND
HARRY TRUMAN
JOHN ADAMS
RONALD REAGAN
JAMES MADISON
JAMES K. POLK
JAMES MONROE
CALVIN COOLIDGE
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS
WILLIAM MCKINLEY
WOODROW WILSON
LYNDON JOHNSON
ANDREW JACKSON
FRANKLIN PIERCE
ANDREW JOHNSON
BENJAMIN HARRISON
RUTHERFORD B. HAYES
WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT
THOMAS JEFFERSON
GEORGE H.W. BUSH
RICHARD NIXON
HERBERT HOOVER
ULYSSES S. GRANT
MARTIN VAN BUREN
JIMMY CARTER
JOHN TYLER
JAMES BUCHANAN
######
THE FOLLOWING PRESIDENTS DID NOT EVEN FILL ONE COMPLETE TERM AND I CONSIDER THAT TOO SHORT WHEN MEASURED AGAINST OTHER PRESIDENTS. HERE THEY ARE, RANKED ONLY AGAINST EACH OTHER.
JOHN F. KENNEDY
ZACHARY TAYLOR
CHESTER A. ARTHUR
JAMES GARFIELD
GERALD FORD
MILLARD FILMORE
WARREN G. HARDING
WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON

Do you think Abharam Lincoln was the best ☺️
Yes I do.
Great.👌
Thank you!
☺️
😀
Lest my eyes deceive, you don’t even consider Mohammad Orama Lama Ding Dong a president?
He’s too recent, so my criteria meant he, Trump, Clinton and George W. Bush be omitted. I personally think all such presidential lists should omit recent presidents because their historical impact has still not been settled. Plus the other reasons I mentioned in the blog post.
Bad is bad from the get go. Excellent bad rates inclusion if only because no amount of time will forgive thief, cheat, bigot, or rapist.
I understand, buddy!
Another insightful post. I’m not really into American politics, so this would be a tough question to ask me. That being said, I agree with your number one pick. From what I’ve learned about him, I have always admired Abraham Lincoln. He’s a powerful leader that inspired the nation to find peaceful solutions to the conflict of slavery. He also had a genuinely warm nature shown in motivational speeches he delivered. If you’re a fan of Lincoln, I would recommend the Steven Spielberg biopic “Lincoln”. A brilliant biopic which celebrates the legacy of a president that was iconic. Daniel Day-Lewis delivers one of the greatest performances in the history of Cinema as Lincoln. Again, I’m not into politics but I loved this film.
Here’s why it’s well worth a watch:
Thanks! I’ve heard good things about that Lincoln movie!
