Where Does Trump Rank Among America's WORST Presidents? - Glenn Kirschner
So friends, have you ever given any serious thought to the question 'who are the worst presidents in our nation's history' and where does Donald Trump rank among them?
Well, that's part of what I just discussed with Brown University constitutional law professor Corey Brettschneider, who has authored a terrific book titled, "The Presidents and The People: Five Leaders Who Threatened Democracy and the Citizens Who Fought to Defend It."
Along the way, we even discussed some points of light amidst the Trump-induced darkness. Because keeping hope alive, like justice . . . matters. - Glenn Kirschner - 06/27/2026.

His first term makes qualifies as the 2nd worst president in history.
And when you put them together, there isn't a third worst president, you have to make a light year jump to the fourth worst president!
I was watching an MS NOW show earlier today and they were comparing the felon-in-chief to Nixon. And one correspondent said that comparing the felon to Nixon, Nixon's crimes were reduced to jaywalking.
