And among all scholars, Trump is the worst — dead last among our country's 44 presidents. On this ranking, Trump is slightly ahead of Abraham Lincoln, whose presidency happened during the Civil War (a time of noted polarization in this country). His best grade among any group is a “C,” which is what Republican scholars give him for his foreign policy. Trump doesn't get a single vote when it comes to which president should be added to Mount Rushmore next, despite attempting to insert himself into that conversation. Three of the four presidents most cited as having been the most polarizing just happen to be our last three presidents: Trump, Barack Obama and George W. Bush.
