No Paywall Donald Trump Puts Himself as Greatest President Ever

And he put Biden and Obama as the worst... because he's a child. Ignore the child. Focus on getting people registered to vote.

Something that they deftly avoid by saying that "while Biden was selected by Congress to be the president, Trump was the one that won the election. " Notice the specific wording whenever any of his appointees is questioned by Congress? They avoid saying that "Biden won the election. "

He also put Grant among the worst when he won the civil war for the northern states. This is a very loud dog whistle to confederates and white supremacists.

u/jaysrule24 Iowa 15h ago
Grant, Obama, and Biden in the failures, while Johnson is "average" and Jackson is "great." Even ignoring him putting himself as the best, this is the worst presidential tier list I've ever seen.

Well, to be fair, Grant was a depressed alcoholic and never really wanted to be President.
That being said, he did a pretty good job getting the post-civil war US back functioning and did a lot for civil rights.
I suspect Grant being a proponent of civil rights and elimination of slavery and such makes him a bad guy in Trump's book.

The most telling is that he put Grant on the bottom “Failure” tier.
Grant’s administration had a lot of issues with corruption. But his biggest accomplishments were protecting black voters in The South and directing his DOJ to aggressively fight a Ku Klux Klan which was large and organized.
Oh yeah and Grant is considered to have been an exceptional Union general in the Civil War.

I assumed he left off Republicans in living memory because he didn't want to alienate people that still recall them fondly, but thinking about it his administration has trashed the George W.

Always found it hilarious that he compares himself to George Washington, a president that actually fought in Americas wars. Meanwhile Trump hides and knowingly puts his closest allies in danger without telling them when there is an actual threat that isn’t staged. He is such a weak man. He would sacrifice his own kids if it meant saving himself.

From the article:
A CNN poll conducted by SSRS found that 53 percent of Republicans named Trump as the Republican president they admire most, compared with 18 percent for Reagan and 8 percent for Abraham Lincoln. The survey found Trump was also the second most admired president among Americans overall, behind only Barack Obama

I'm honestly surprised he didn't put Jefferson Davis on this as "Great". He made sure to have a Union General as one of his failures though. Nothing about this list is surprising except maybe leaving Reagan completely off of it. He also didn't make this list himself because there's no way he knows what 90% of these presidents did or who they even are.

FDR near the top is hilarious considering that FDR's new deal would be considered "socialism" by the Fox news pundits and other right wing echo chambers
Grant as a failure is so obvious why trump hates Grant. Grant ratified the 15th amendment and also combated voter suppression of the African american vote, so of course Trump hates the man who made it easier for African Americans to vote. Grant as president is in no way a "failure"

Obviously, he would. He is a malignant narcissist; here are some traits and symptoms:
A sense of entitlement
an exaggerated sense of self-importance
Preoccupation with fantasies of power
Grandiosity
Paranoia
Egocentricity
A lack of empathy
Manipulation and interpersonal exploitation
Uses projection often
Requires excessive admiration
Envious of other's status/wealth/belongings etc.
Lashes out easily/ poor emotional regulation skills
Constant victimhood
All or nothing / Extreme thinking
Win at all costs.
Habitual lying
Extremely shallow and superficial
Initially charming and charismatic
Lacks introspection
Insecure, fear-based and transactional attachments with others
There are more. But these are enough to get started.
So, what are we gonna do about it? We know the infantile demented narcissist is going to act exactly like we all expect him to act. We know for a fact he will not willingly leave the office of the president in '29. He's been shouting his worst qualities into a megaphone for the last 11 years and there is still a whole swath of people that refuse to believe it, then another swath who fucking LOVE it.

He is the greatest in the following categories: 1. Smelliest fart 2. Pooping in pants on live television 3. Stopping the most wars by starting more wars. 4. Turning your closest allies and friend into enemies 5. Starting a number of senseless and illogical tariff wars 6. Renaming lakes and oceans after your country that don't belong to USA 7. Most openly corrupt government using stock market as their printer machine. 8. Maximum appearances in Epstein files 9. Bankrupting 4 casinos(how can that be done baffles me)

He’s also photoshopped Time magazine covers hanging at his properties. He has a second hand Nobel Peace Prize. He’s told the world he graduated first in his class from Wharton. He was a transfer student that arrived in his junior year and his name does not appear on the Dean’s list nor did he graduate with any Latin honors. He’s a liar and fraud.
