Scholars rank Trump as the worst President in American history

Why do people think we can't evaluate Trump after a year? He's done plenty that can be evaluated.

Hindsight gives you a better view of how decisions/policies play out. Harding was viewed very positively when he dies and Truman was viewed as a failure when he left office

Which is why Obama jump up 10 spots from 2014 and is now better than Reagan.

Only Democratic analysts thought that, independents thought Reagan was better.

On the overall list, Obama is now 8th and Reagan is 9th.

In both overrated with those rankings, IMHO

Kennedy, Trump and Jackson are WAY too low. LBJ is too high. So are Wilson and Obama.

I googled the three "scholars" and they are ultra liberal. Academics hate Trump, personally and politically.

To which "three" scholars are you referring to? The NY Times mentions only two by name and these are the two who conducted that survey. Who is the third one you're referring to??

In addition, on what is your assessment based that these two scholars are "ultra-liberal"? Which sites did you find that specifically stated that the two scholars are liberal? Because one of these two is Justin S. Vaughn from the Boise State University. According to Vaughn's Facebook account, he liked the pages of the following Republican politicians:

- Steve Yates, former chair of the Idaho Republican Party and currently running for the Republican nomination for Lieutenant Governor of Idaho
- Brad Little, incumbent Republican Lieutenant Governor of Idaho, currently running for the GOP gubernatorial nomination
- Tommy Ahlquist, also a candidate for the Republican nomination for Idaho governor
- Mike Simpson, Republican congressman from Idaho's 2nd district
- Jeff Sayer, Republican candidate for the Idaho State Senate

Vaughn doesn't seem to have liked any Democratic politicians though. In your opinion, is supporting multiple Republican candidates an indication for being "ultra-liberal"?

The survey itself was conducted among 170 members of the American Political Science Association, among them also a couple of Republican scholars. According to the NY Times article, if you take only the Republican scholars' responses into account, Donald Trump ranks 40th among the 44th presidents. Which is still pretty bad, even though slightly bettter than the Democrats' und Independents' responses.

Do you have any reason to believe that the Republican scholars' reponses were in any way falsified, as you seem to accuse the two authors of the survey to have been done just that?

It's Naso. He's obviously suspicious of anyone smart. Well outside his baliwick and all that.
