Ex President Trump ranked fourth worst president in C-SPAN historian survey
C-SPAN asked 142 presidential historians to rank presidents in 10 categories.
Former President Donald Trump was ranked 41st out of 45 presidents in C-SPAN’s presidential leadership survey of 142 presidential historians, released Wednesday.
C-SPAN has conducted the survey since 2000 asking historians to rate presidents based upon 10 categories
The twice-impeached former president scored last in moral authority and administrative skills and 32 in public persuasion
and 34 in economic management
Rachel Katz, C-SPAN’s survey project coordinator, said during a C-SPAN segment Wednesday that C-SPAN understands there’s a high interest in presidential history.
“And this is a way to start a conversation. Get people talking about it. Get people thinking about what makes for a good president,” Katz said.
Abraham Lincoln ranked first overall, a position he’s held since the first survey, with George Washington and Franklin D. Roosevelt holding the second and third spots since the start.
Barack Obama moved up from the 12th spot to 10th, and his “pursued equal justice for all” rating remained his highest individual rating, at third, just below Lincoln.
“Despite the fact that we’ve become more aware of the historical implications of racial injustice in this country and we’re continuing to grapple with those issues, we still have slaveholding presidents at or near the top of the list,” Howard University professor Edna Greene Medford said in a statement. “Washington, still the second president on the list, enslaved people during his term. “So even though we may be a bit more enlightened about race today, we are still discounting its significance when evaluating these presidents.”

Here's an initial list of three of Trump's false claims in Trumps recent 14 page rant/ letter.
The legitimacy of the election
Trump's title on the document was this: "THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 2020 WAS RIGGED AND STOLEN!"
Facts First: This is false.
The 2020 election was not rigged or stolen. Joe Biden was the legitimate winner, Trump the legitimate loser. There is no evidence, in any state, of fraud even close to sufficient to have changed the outcome.
Votes in Pennsylvania
Trump listed purported evidence of wrongdoing in swing states he lost. One of his claims about Pennsylvania, which Biden won by more than 80,000 votes, was this: "In Pennsylvania, as of February 2021, there were 121,240 more votes than voters."
Facts First: This is false.
Pennsylvania did not have more votes cast in the 2020 election than it had registered voters; in reality, it had about 7 million votes cast and about 9 million registered voters, for a turnout of about 76.5%. This claim about the state having had more votes than voters -- based on a Republican state legislator's misreading of state data -- was repeatedly debunked in 2020 and 2021.
Votes in Maricopa County, Arizona
Trump made a dramatic claim about Arizona's most populous county, Maricopa County, where Republicans conducted a sham partisan "audit" of the 2020 election. He wrote: "Maricopa County accepted at least 20,000 mail-in ballots after Election Day 2020, including 18,000 on November 4, 2020, picked up from the U.S. Postal Service—more than the entire Election margin of 10,457 ballots."
Facts First: This is false.
As Reuters has reported, this claim, which has circulated among Trump supporters on social media, is based on a misinterpretation of a document that does not actually show that Maricopa County accepted any ballots after Election Day, let alone thousands of ballots. The document was a receipt for transfer of ballots to a company that scans the ballot envelopes, capturing voters' signatures, as part of the process of the county verifying the signatures.
Runbeck chief executive Jeff Ellington told Reuters in June: "These 18,000 ballots were received on Election Day prior to the deadline to cast a vote and delivered to Runbeck the next day for processing, following our standard operating procedure."
