The American history of leadership has been full of ups and downs, to say the least. And one guy decided to do everyone a public service and laid it all on the table.
David, who goes by the Twitter handle @ddupreejr, started a thread with the caption “Why every US President Sucks,” where he listed all the flaws of past and present presidents. From George Washington to Woodrow Wilson, George W. Bush and Trump, every head of the country got a fair share of roasting.
The thread has resonated with people on social media and has gone viral with 74.6K retweets and comments and 250.7K likes. Let’s take a look at all the reasons that call American leadership into question down below.

The Siena survey conducted after each new president has just had a full year in office is aimed at ranking the leaders of a country according to 20 categories.
However, it’s not common people who are weighing in. The survey asks presidential scholars, historians, and political scientists to do what they know best—rank the presidents accordingly.
Don Levy, the institute’s director, explained that the sitting president normally comes in toward the middle as “scholars begin to observe their accomplishments, assess their abilities, and study their attributes.”

But in 2019, in the Siena survey’s sixth presidential ranking since 1982, 157 scholars ranked Trump the third-worst president of all time. Trump came only after the impeached Andrew Johnson and James Buchanan, whose presidency was followed by the Civil War.
Meanwhile, for the first time, George Washington was ranked the greatest president. The top five remained the same with Washington, Roosevelt, Teddy Roosevelt, Lincoln, and Jefferson. Barack dropped two positions down to the 17th-greatest president.
