Only because Trump hasn't been able to get most of his ideas enacted.

So many bad presidents to choose from and so many different criteria to base evaluations on.

I would say there's a good argument to be made for JFK being the worst president of all time, though, considering he came the closest to actually ending the existence of the species with his awful handling of relations with Cuba. Iraq was bad, but it was small in scale compared with Vietnam in some ways. That's also a ball that got rolling under JFK, even though Johnson and Nixon were bigger offenders in the handling of that war.

Quite true!

Hopefully, Trump will be too distracted for about the next three years and nine months about the size of his inauguration crowd, the ratings on Celebrity Apprentice, his daughter's clothing line, and other such trivial issues to destroy the country after Obama did so much to rebuild it.

Not to mention who he can trust to help him get his tongue out of his rectum so he can talk straight, though with an aura of stink about him!!!!!

As of today, the Bush Presidency was most likely the worst in US history - but Trump is doubtlessly the worst president, including the one who died after only one month.

I think this is unfair given that the Trump Presidency has completed only 1/16th its term. I do believe however he is well on his way.

It is perfectly possible that due to Trump's incompetence he actually ends up being not as bad as Dubya.
