One X user indicated that the image shared by Trump closely resembles a 1948 ranking of United States presidents according to 55 scholars posted in Life Magazine. If so, it would explain the absence of the majority of presidents from the second half of the 20th century, including Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and both Bushes.

There are, however, a few modern presidents who did not appear in the Life Magazine ranking but do appear in Trump’s. Joe Biden, Barack Obama and Jimmy Carter are all labeled as “Failures” (along with presidents Ulysses S. Grant and Warren G. Harding), while Bill Clinton was labeled “Average.”

Trump’s approval has fallen in recent months, hitting a record low in August. According to recent YouGov data, just 33% of Americans “strongly or somewhat approve” of the president while 62% disapprove, giving Trump a job approval rating of -29. At the same point in his first term, Trump had a -10 approval rating, while Biden had a -17.
