Trump proclaims himself "the best president ever" in US History

TVI Notícias31 August 2026 at 14:06

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, shared on social media a historical ranking of US Presidents, in which he positioned himself in first place, proclaiming himself "the best president ever" in US History.

In the list shared by Trump, Barack Obama and Joe Biden appear classified in the last places, with no surprise for political analysts.

Trump's position at the top of the ranking strongly contrasts with traditional assessments by historians and political scientists, who frequently position Presidents such as Abraham Lincoln, George Washington and Franklin D. Roosevelt among the highest ranked.

The article does not specify which exact ranking was used by Trump nor the social media platform where it was shared.
