7. He might be the only president we've had who didn't mean well

He primary goals were:

A) enrich himself through constant grift and legislation
B) further his own power by corrupting people and institutions
C) sow division and hatred on a daily basis.

Seen as an American president it's hard not to put him at the bottom. Ok, he didn't trip us into a civil war or cause an lengthy depression, but not for lack of trying.

But really, he needs to be seen as an instrument of Russia and domestic adversaries who see a personal benefit in destroying our government and various social protections.

From that perspective, he did a fairly good job and came close to achieving some truly disastrous objectives. Fortunately for us, he was too incompetent to succeed even in rotten goals.
