4. Trump wasn't worst

Trump was a veritable gentleman compared to Andrew Johnson, though not surprisingly they have a great number of similarities.

However, the only thing keeping Trump from dropping further is that he didn't manage to get the US into an unnecessary war, though not for lack of trying, and his intention to get out of Afghanistan (admittedly, to free up money for his Wall) was right for the wrong reasons.

It's also worth noting that Trump WAS the worst president of the last 160 years, beating out Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge, and Richard Nixon.
