A survey of historians and presidential experts ranks President Biden in 14th place all-time, just ahead of Woodrow Wilson and Ronald Reagan. Former President Donald Trump came in last.

If Reagan is in the top half, how am I supposed to take the list seriously? Or are you telling me ~28 presidents were actually worse?
Reagan did a lot of awful, criminal things, but when Gorbachev brought Glasnost to the table, Reagan did not fuck that up and ushered in the end of the Soviet Union.
Reagan was loved by the country at the time and was extremely effective at implementing his agenda.
All of it is monstrous to me as well, but to compare him to Trump, who didn’t even try to implement much of an agenda and literally had ZERO party platform for his second term… it makes a little more sense in that context.
It’s a bad list overall.
Pierce < Trump: Pierce caused Bleeding Kansas
Coolidge > Jackson: Indian Citizenship Act Vs Indian Removal Act
Grant > Wilson: Wilson was incredibly racist even for his time
