Trump shares his own presidential rankings
Trump ranks himself above Lincoln, Washington as America’s ‘Greatest’ President. The ranking was posted to Trump’s Truth Social account on August 27, with Trump alone in “The Greatest” tier

President Donald Trump declared himself “the greatest” president in U.S. history in a ranking he posted to Truth Social on Thursday — while leaving nearly a dozen of his predecessors off the list entirely.
The graphic divides the presidents into six tiers: “The Greatest,” “Great,” “Near Great,” “Average,” “Below Average,” and “Failures,” with Trump alone occupying the top category.
The “Great” tier includes Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Thomas Jefferson, and Andrew Jackson.
Theodore Roosevelt, Grover Cleveland, John Adams, and James K. Polk are deemed “Near Great.”
Trump’s “Average” presidents are Bill Clinton, John Quincy Adams, James Monroe, Rutherford B. Hayes, James Madison, Martin Van Buren, William Howard Taft, Chester A. Arthur, William McKinley, Andrew Johnson, Herbert Hoover, and Benjamin Harrison.
John Tyler, Calvin Coolidge, Millard Fillmore, Zachary Taylor, James Buchanan, and Franklin Pierce fall into the “Below Average” category.
At the bottom, Trump’s “Failures” tier consists of Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Ulysses S. Grant, Warren G. Harding, and Jimmy Carter.
Notably absent from the rankings are William Henry Harrison, James A. Garfield (who both died shortly after taking office), Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush.
