Quote:At first glance, I would have Jackson rated much lower, and Truman higher. Kennedy is ranked too high also.

Ranking recent presidents is tough, I think it takes quite a while before all the partisanship can dissipate and they can be viewed objectively.

In the case of Trump, I would rank him at the bottom if he follows through on his promises.

It's hard to rank Washington below anyone, because he basically invented the Presidency.   I'm pretty partial to Washington, because when you add in the Revolutionary war and the Presidency, I think he's the greatest person to ever live in the Western Hemisphere.

I'm not understanding your Trump comment at all. If he follows through and his projections are correct, which is part of it, then we're going to be in awesome shape as a nation.

As for Harry S ranking over Jackson... well, it came down to one thing as they were both strong democratic POTUS's... in Jackson's case, he was the first democrat although he talked of the necessity for a smaller federal government with more power to the states, and that flies in the face of modern liberalism. I put Jackson over Truman because his great bully tactic was not quite as treacherous. That is, he made the Indians get out by walking the trail of tears, and that always makes me sad. But Truman nuked Japan, and while I understand the accolades associated with the decision, it was still a horrendous decision in my book given the direct consequences of so many civilian deaths. Their skin literally melted off their bodies. I almost want to rank these two near the bottom, but doing so would be to ignore their overall greatness as Presidents.
