As a fat old scatterbrained white man and considered the worst POTUS in
history, Trump requires special DEI considerations such as election fixing
and fake electors to get a level playing field with black female VP Harris.

Former President Donald Trump, a former reality-TV star who's famously
obsessed with ratings, is unlikely to appreciate C-SPAN's new survey of
presidential leadership. Historians who participated in the survey ranked
Trump among the worst US presidents.

Out of 44 presidents reviewed for the survey by 142 historians and
professional observers of the presidency, Trump landed at 41st, the lowest
ranking of any president in the past 150 years. The only presidents who
ranked lower than Trump were Franklin Pierce, Andrew Johnson, and James
Buchanan.

William Henry Harrison, who died 32 days into his presidency and had the
shortest tenure of any commander in chief, ranked just above Trump.

This was the first time Trump was ranked in C-SPAN's survey, the fourth in
a series. Since 2000, C-SPAN has surveyed historians at every change in a
presidential administration.

C-SPAN said there was a 50% increase in the number of historians and
professional observers who participated from 2017, adding diversity in
race, gender, age, and philosophy.

Of the 10 characteristics of leadership the presidents were graded on,
Trump's highest ratings were in "public persuasion" and "economic
management." His lowest marks were in "moral authority" and "administrative
skills," for which Trump received the worst ratings of any US president.

Trump is one of the few single-term presidents and the only president to be
impeached twice. Months after leaving office, Trump has still not
acknowledged that Joe Biden defeated him fairly. His lies about the
election helped provoke the fatal insurrection at the Capitol on January 6
and have fueled divisions in the US while raising fears among scholars
about the future of American democracy.

Barack Obama, for example, rose to 10th from 12th; he fell just behind
Ronald Reagan and John F. Kennedy. George W. Bush moved up to 29th after
landing in the 33rd spot in 2017.
