Biden's Rank Among Modern Presidents (George H.W. Bush to Present)

If we evaluate modern presidents (since 1989) based on approval ratings, economic performance, public safety, foreign policy, and historical impact, here's a ranking from worst to best:

Modern Presidents Ranked (1989–Present):

  1. Bill Clinton (1993–2001)

    • Strong economic growth, budget surplus, and low unemployment.
    • Scandals (Monica Lewinsky) tarnished legacy but didn’t outweigh successes.

  2. Barack Obama (2009–2017)

    • Navigated the Great Recession and passed the Affordable Care Act.
    • Criticized for foreign policy (e.g., Syria) and slow wage growth.

  3. George H.W. Bush (1989–1993)

    • Managed Gulf War successfully and presided over Cold War's end.
    • Lost reelection due to economic downturn and "no new taxes" pledge.

  4. Donald Trump (2017–2021)

    • Pre-COVID economy was strong, and notable foreign policy successes (Abraham Accords).
    • Polarizing rhetoric, Capitol riots, and impeachment overshadowed achievements.

  5. George W. Bush (2001–2009)

    • Defined by 9/11 response but criticized for the Iraq War and 2008 financial crisis.

  6. Joe Biden (2021–2025) (Tentative)

    • Strengths: Job recovery post-COVID, strong NATO leadership post-Ukraine invasion.
    • Weaknesses: High inflation, cost-of-living crises, Afghanistan withdrawal, Hunter Biden/Ukraine scandal, low approval ratings.

Placement Among Modern Presidents:

  • Biden ranks 6th out of 6 modern presidents (since 1989). His administration is viewed as less successful than his predecessors due to domestic economic struggles, urban safety concerns, and polarizing policies.

The Five Worst U.S. Presidents of All Time

Based on historical consensus, measurable failures, and long-term impact:

  1. James Buchanan (1857–1861):

    • Failed to address growing tensions leading to the Civil War. Widely regarded as the worst president.

  2. Andrew Johnson (1865–1869):

    • Opposed Reconstruction and civil rights efforts, leading to chaos in the post-Civil War South. First president to be impeached.

  3. Herbert Hoover (1929–1933):

    • Presided over the onset of the Great Depression and failed to take decisive action to mitigate its effects.

  4. Warren G. Harding (1921–1923):

    • Known for corruption scandals like Teapot Dome, though his term was cut short by his death.

  5. Franklin Pierce (1853–1857):

    • His support for the Kansas-Nebraska Act exacerbated divisions leading to the Civil War.

Summary

  • Biden's Rank Among Modern Presidents: Last (6th of 6).
  • Overall Historical Ranking: Likely 12th worst president.
  • Worst Presidents of All Time: Buchanan, Johnson, Hoover, Harding, and Pierce. Biden avoids the absolute bottom tier due to the lack of singular catastrophic failures on par with these figures.

All the things listed as weaknesses for Biden were things outside of his control.

Would you say the same applied to Donald Trump, such as COVID, the mainstream media propaganda, the corrupt lawfare campaign and trying to impeach him on non-existent charges (J6), and the Democratic weaponization of the legal system used against him? I'm asking in good faith here.

I also disagree giving billons of dollars to Ukraine and illegal immigrants was "outside of [their] control." The Biden administration spent most of this money in 2021 alone on "COVID relief" pork and people seem to have to have forgotten that.

I have a full version here that explains that the Biden administration is tied with Jimmy Carter for last place of the worst US presidents in 100 years. Only Carter was as bad or worse than the Biden administration since the Great Depression.

ChatGPT word salad. Go take an objective look at all the issues, and tell me which ones you listed were caused, or within Biden's control, and how you think he should have handled them differently.

I already did with both this post and my last response:

I really have no allegiance to any politicians or political parties, so I'm clearly being the objective one here. If you have TDS though, I really don't need to waste my time with you, cause this isn't Reddit. Otherwise, we can agree to disagree and leave it at that, cause the Biden administration objectively did a horrible job, regardless how anyone feels about Biden himself (who really didn't do anything at all but fall down stuff, crap himself several times, and eat ice cream, which is why I keep saying "the Biden administration" and not "Joe Biden.")

The industrial war complex spans many presidents, and those same billions would have been spent regardless, and will continue to be spent in the future.

If anybody has a "derangement syndrome", it's you being blind to the fact that the reasons people rag on Biden are not within his control, and not a measure of his competency or legacy of ranking how good or bad a president is.
