This is after TFG gave Bannon a pardon

"But Trumps inattentiveness to the pandemic alarmed Bannon. And his response to George Floyds death had him increasingly convinced that Trump had lost his mind," Peters wrote. "He complained to colleagues that Trump didnt seem interested in his job."
"Being president and doing the job of president are two different things, Bannon claimed. He doesnt want to do the job of president of the United States......
"Instead, Bannon said, Trump would end up going down in history as one of the two or three worst presidents ever: 'Itll be James Buchanan, Donald Trump, and Millard Fillmore.' Having run Trumps successful underdog bid four years earlier during its final weeks, Bannon was openly critical of how the new team was running the reelection campaign. 'Trump did not win in 2016. Thats the one thing they never embraced and understood. Hillary Clinton lost. Trump did not win,' he said."
History will not be kind to TFG

(5,275 posts)He was Dumb, Evil to the bone, a man who managed multiple bankruptcies despite inheriting 100s of millions from Daddy.
The others were largely in over their heads but nowhere near as crooked or stupid as Fat Donnie. He stands alone at the deep bottom of the barrel. A 100% despicable excuse for a human being.

I'm fine with Trump being SECOND worst.
Oh and don't forget the Bush economic collapse.
Metaphorical
(1,602 posts)Though close. Buchanan laid the foundation for the Civil War, was consistently drunk, was mired in scandal, and had almost no redeeming achievements in his term. Trump ironically did not enmesh the country in another war, which was about the only thing that keeps him from achieving bottom, and that record occurred primarily because he was too inept to even pull it off. George W. Bush had one shining moment (arguably) in his term with his response to 9/11, and while I think he too was inept, I don't really thing Bush was so much evil as simply clueless and lacking in his ability to say no to his "advisors". Trump was corrupt and evil, but Buchanan may have been worse.

(18,122 posts)Yes, Buchanan and A Johnson were bad, but no other president in our history engaged in conspiracy to commit sedition. That alone should place him at the bottom. Add all the other stuff (corruption, separating children from their parents, inept response to the pandemic, etc.), and I don't see how anyone could be worse. And by a long, long shot.
