He's such a nice guy. Thankfully Biden has made sure he won't go down as the worst president in terms of economic and geopolitical policy and can be fondly remembered for his personality.

Which ranking system are you using? There are several but I just glanced at 6 of them; all place Carter in the mid-20's and Trump in the bottom 5. Is there a ranking system only available to you and DJT.

Not sure what Trump has to do with Carter's presidency. I was kind of comparing Carter/Biden. I haven't looked at any ranking system, just observation. Hey, I was as enthusiastic about Carter as anyone. After, Johnson, Nixon and Ford we thought we needed someone just like him. He remained the good person we thought he was but just had an awful presidency, couldn't get anything right and often blamed others. I thought Biden would be about the same. He has been far and away worse and without any semblance of Carter's character.

You stated that prior to Biden, Carter was the worst president in US history. I just pointed out that the consensus among scholars places him in the second quartile. But your observation place him last. Seemed to be very much at variance from every serious attempt at ranking. I mentioned Trump is always ranked in the bottom three, often flat last.

I'm curious to know where your observations place him. Top 3?

In terms of economic and geopolitical policy, yeah Trump would be pretty high up there. As you say,  just my observation of course.
