President Donald Trump has updated his ranking of U.S. presidents in a Sunday, Sept. 6, post on Truth Social.
The initial ranking appeared on Trump’s Truth Social account on Aug. 27 and linked Trump as “The Greatest,” with Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson on the next tier down, labeled “Great.”
The newest ranking, posted on Sept. 6, included several former presidents who were absent from the first list, including Ronald Reagan, John F. Kennedy, Gerald Ford and George W. Bush, among others. Reagan, long known for being a conservative icon, was put in the “Near Great” tier.
In the first ranking, the very last tier (labeled “Failures” by Trump) included former presidents Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Ulysses S. Grant, Warren Harding and Jimmy Carter. The new ranking has been updated to include George W. Bush and Herbert Hoover in the bottom tier. Hoover was previously in the “Average” tier.
