Trump debuts in last place in political scientists’ “Presidential Greatness Rankings”

More than 170 scholars from the American Political Science Association today announced a survey designed to calculate the "greatness" of each President (presidential holidays celebrating these holidays). The cards made their debut on the 44th. (Grover Cleveland has two discontinuous terms, so there are only 44 positions.)

The team was the previous survey, Barack Obama ranked 18th in 2014. Since Ronald Reagan led, he jumped to 8th place. Researchers pointed out that Mr. Trump had time to reverse the situation and much of the president's heritage improved over time. But now the political scientists of the cards are ranked higher than James Buchanan who saw America in the civil war, President full of scandals like Warren Harding and Andrew Johnson, and William Henry Harrison just played Low. 31 days before pneumonia

The modest opinion of the current president is beyond the faction. Among the scholars surveyed, those identified as Democrats last played cards, Republicans ranked him 40th and still ranked fifth. A little. Also, the team gave the report card size (pdf) in the first year of playing cards and got "D" in "legal achievement" and "communication with the public" (probably using his Twitter extensively Because it is. And "F" and "reflection of institutional norms" in "Foreign policy leader". Overall, his first year 's success was the average' F '.

A complete evaluation list of all the chairs is as follows. This is not the most happy holiday reading for the President of the President's Day:

Fortunately, there are experts on this topic. Presidential historians and political scientists are regularly ranking and discussing the greatness of the President. There is also a survey showing the highest and the worst president ever. It is too early to investigate Mr. Trump, but when he finally faced historical judgment, he can not just be in the position of "the worst president in history". He will have to earn money. With this in mind - William Henry Harrison is number 40. If you have not heard of him, please do not worry. There are good reasons not to do so. Harrison served only on 31st and died of pneumonia at the White House. However, he is still better than the other five presidents. This means that in order to make the cards "stand the worst president", for all intents and purposes, the sum of his achievements is worse than not doing anything. In order to win the title of the worst president ever, he must fail on a large scale.

A historian and a political scientist Julian E. Zelizer believes that the traditional president's ranking has little explanation of the actual president's history and is "a weak mechanism to evaluate what happens in the White House" It is. Liberal political commentator Ivan Elan wrote a book called "Re-Rushmore (2008; 2014 update)". Among them, he wrote that the historian's standards are difficult to reflect the president's idea The actual service of the country. In this book, Elland chooses to evaluate 40 presidents based on whether their policies promote prosperity, freedom and noninterventionism, and the role of discreet officers - his final rank It is very different from that of most scholars.

According to the rankings published by the New York Times, a group of 170 presidential political experts believes that cards are the worst president in history. Mr. Obama ranked 8th, Lincoln, Washington state and Franklin Roosevelt ranked top 3. The same experts ranked Buchanan at the end of 2014 and Obama ranked 18th.
