February 19, 2018: Historians Rate Trump for Presidents' Day

 

2/19/18: “Character is destiny, ,” the Greek philosopher Heraclitus once said. For Trump and his minions this is clearly true. When you cram the White House with bullies, wife-beaters and foul-mouthed louts, people notice. 

Consider results from a recent Quinnipiac poll: 61% of Americans said they did not like Trump as a person. 

Only 3 in 10 said they did. 

Even worse, only 1 in 5 Americans (18%) believe the president has been faithful to his third wife.

 

One final poll deserves attention. According to 170 historians, Trump does not rate as one of our greatest presidents, no matter how many times he says he gets an A+ for the work he’s done. In a poll conducted for Presidents’ Day, Donald J. displaced James Buchanan on the list, moving him up a notch. That means Trump now nails down last place. That means there’s nowhere to go but up for the man historians label the “most polarizing” chief executive ever. 

Every subgroup in the survey, including self-identified conservative and Republican historians, had Trump in the bottom five.



No longer nailing down last place.
