Donald Trump Updates His Presidents List & Keeps ‘The Greatest’ Tier to Himself
Trump’s revised chart adds Reagan and 12 other presidents while keeping him alone in the top tier, despite historians ranking Lincoln first.
On Sunday, Sept. 6, President Donald Trump shared a revised ranking of U.S. presidents on Truth Social, expanding a chart posted two weeks earlier to include several previously absent figures.
The initial Aug. 27 ranking drew attention for omitting Ronald Reagan, despite his longstanding status as a modern conservative icon often compared to Trump regarding Republican Party leadership.
Trump added Reagan and Dwight D. Eisenhower to the "Near Great" tier, while placing Herbert Hoover and George W. Bush in the "Failures" category alongside Joe Biden and Barack Obama.
Despite these additions, Trump remains alone in a standalone top tier labeled "The Greatest", contrasting with the 2024 Presidential Greatness Project survey where historians ranked Abraham Lincoln first.
His revised list includes 43 presidents, leaving some commanders in chief off the chart entirely, while continuing to elevate figures whose legacies remain debated among historians.
DONALD Trump has declared himself the greatest American president, but historians disagree. Academic research ranks him at the very bottom of the list, even behind presidents like James Buchanan.
