This is gonna leave yet another brown skid in your panties...I'm sure of it.

Copilot, which president holds the most first‑time achievements and national records of any president in the last 100 years?

While there is no single official "worst" president, historical rankings by scholars and political scientists consistently place [James Buchanan][Andrew Johnson](, and [Donald Trump]( at the bottom of the list. [1, 2, 3, 4] The "worst" is often defined by a president's failure to lead during a crisis, their negative impact on civil rights, or significant corruption during their administration. [1, 4] 

Most Consistently Low-Ranked Presidents[James Buchanan]( (1857–1861): Often ranked dead last for his perceived failure to prevent the American Civil War. Historians criticize him for his passivity as southern states seceded and his support for the pro-slavery [Dred Scott decision] (1865–1869): Frequently ranks among the worst for his obstruction of Reconstruction following the Civil War. He opposed civil rights for formerly enslaved people and became the first president to be impeached.


[Donald Trump]( (2017–2021, 2025–present): Recent surveys of historians, such as the 2024 Presidential Greatness Survey and the 2022 Siena Poll, have ranked him as the worst or among the bottom three. Critics point to his role in the January 6 Capitol riot, his two impeachments, and his challenges to democratic norms)
