The posts shared by American President Donald Trump ranking the best and worst presidents in US history are turning heads — combining vivid imagination with AI-generated imagery to crown himself the “greatest of all time.” But Trump didn’t stop there. He followed up with another post depicting himself in a dark suit, aviator sunglasses, and holding a weapon against a war-torn backdrop, sending a clear message: the “nice guy” era is officially over.
Among the presidents Trump places in the “best” category are Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Thomas Jefferson, and Andrew Jackson — two of whom, Washington and Jefferson, are counted among the Founding Fathers of the United States.
In the “failures” column, Trump lists Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Ulysses S. Grant, Warren Harding, and Jimmy Carter, while Bill Clinton is labeled merely “mediocre.”
US presidents: Trump’s top five who “built America”
Trump then returned with a follow-up post listing the five American presidents who “built America” — and five more who “destroyed it.”
Among the greatest, he named George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Ronald Reagan, and — placing himself fifth on the list.
His worst presidents list includes James Buchanan, Woodrow Wilson, Jimmy Carter, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden.
In a separate Truth Social post, an AI-generated image shows Trump cast as an enforcer — dressed in a dark suit and aviator sunglasses, weapon in hand, with explosions, flames, and billowing smoke visible in the background, evoking a wartime scene.
The image is accompanied by the message: “NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!”
