It's not an exaggeration to say we are all forcibly being made dumber by Trump, because we are wasting finite energy and attention that we should be using for self-improvement and instead are spending those resources on keeping track of the sociopathic imbecile with the nuclear codes. It's exhausting.

I have to wonder what other previous presidents that were considered crappy might have done with social media. Would any of them be anywhere near this absurd?

The coward didn't even include Reagan. Too many Republicans worship Reagan, and his fragile ego doesn't let him share the number one spot.

Not surprising that he's a fan of Jackson. An autocrat and populist with no interest in the law or respecting opposition who committed genocide.

I'm a bit surprised he didn't include Reagan. A lot of conservative boomers think the sun shone out of Reagan's ass. I know most of them are now fully in the Cult of Trump. But Ronnie's exclusive still seems like an unnecessarily risky move.

Wasn't he really into trade tariffs too? Maybe Trump feels an affinity with him over that (and also about both of them being chronic failures in general).

Though if they included Reagan then people would be comparing Reagan's policies with trump's policies and seeing how different they are.

And yet if they did include Reagan they would have to put him high up. Awkward.

Dog whistles are so 2015, the last decade has been just plain whistles. And the occasional boat horn

You believe he actually thought about this? He asked a random AI to do it and never checked it at all. Maybe to see where Obama ended up

Taylor was one of the most popular presidents who happened to die of illness during his presidency.

If it weren't for modern medicine, Trump would have likely succumbed to COVID when he had it.

No logic here.

I don't get it. Even if i were american, and treat the president like a celebrity, and celebrities like gods and so american to believe that gods are real. I think i'd still look at this and think: hah, that is fucking weird.

One president used federal funds to deface a mountain by having a giant, 60 ft tall sculpture of his own face carved into it, right next to the faces of the presidents widely considered to be the greatest. That's pretty much the energy of this post.

FDR in the great tier is the second dumbest thing on there.

If his proposals where in the table the republicans would have a collective meltdown.

Even ignoring the top spot, this is a really weird list. I feel like he just asked an AI to make a meme that makes him look like the chad and Obama/Biden look like the soyjack.

Probably this list is an A,B,C,D tier list and Reagan is S tier.

My first thought, too.

Ulysses S. Grant a failure? Ooooh, I just looked, it's because he was seen as defeating the KKK by use of the Force acts of the Reconstruction amendments. Ok, well that checks out.

Some Groyper probably had Grok make this and of course dingus retweets it.
