Trump finished dead last behind James Buchanan, who preceded Lincoln and governed in the lead-up to the Civil War.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Here it is, the holiday celebrating Lincoln and Washington\u2019s birthdays, so why not have the experts rate the Commander in Chiefs top to bottom.  Top was Lincoln and Washington, kind of makes sense since these are the two Presidents we honor with a holiday.  Plus, they\u2019re on Mt. Rushmore.  Probably harder to decide who was the worst.  Or maybe not.  The day before the rankings came out, the guy who raced to the bottom was pitching 400 dollar Trump Sneakers.  I know, the Man has to make money to pay back the nearly half a billion in fines he\u2019s accrued so far for tax fraud and for defamation of the woman he raped.  Kind of surprised he didn\u2019t roll out a line of women\u2019s underwear, the E. Jean panties with the small handprint in the crotch.  Maybe later\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>The MAGA folks will back this pitchman for another 4 year term.  And half a chance they\u2019ll put him back in office, give him an opportunity to raise his ratings above Hoover and Buchanan\u2019s down there in the cellar.  At least there\u2019s no way he can drop any lower.  Unless he makes good on that underwear line\u2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;A rating of U.S. presidents found Donald Trump was the nation\u2019s worst ever leader while Joe Biden ranks 14th, putting him among the top-third of commanders-in-chief.
