On the heels of Indy's President's Day thread-
Who are your top 5 presidents?
Mine-

1. Abraham Lincoln
2. Franklin Delano Roosevelt
3. Teddy Roosevelt
4. Thomas Jefferson
5. Jimmy Carter

Bottom 5-

1. Donald Trump
2. Richard Nixon
3. Andrew Jackson
4. Andrew Johnson
5. George W. Bush

The top 4 are obvious. I include Jimmy Carter because he don't have a bad bone in his body. Maybe the most honest President ever.
I voted Trump the worst for obvious reasons. He's  playing President like he acted like someone important on WWE.
THIS is our President?

TOP 5:

Lincoln
Washington
FDR
Theodore Roosevelt
Harry Truman

BOTTOM 5

Andrew Johnson
Franklin Pierce
James Buchanan
Calvin Coolidge
John Tyler

MOST OVERRATED:  John F. Kennedy

PS: I would probably put Trump in the bottom five, except that I don't think it's fair to rate any President until he's been out of office for a decade or more.

I believe in the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Fantastic.  I think I agree with Indy's TOP list.  I'll be considerate and avoid a worst list.

I think we've done this before, but why not? I'm ranking these as much on character as achievement.

Top 5:
1. Lincoln
2. Washington
3. Jefferson
4. Madison (as a Founding Father, he's probably #1)
5. Teddy Roosevelt

Bottom 5:
1. Buchanan
2. Pierce
3. Andrew Johnson
4. Nixon
5. Trump

The scandal outweighs all the good things Nixon did; without Watergate he would be in the top half.
