Donald Trump has been known to put himself above other U.S. presidents in speeches and more, but this week, he quite literally made a chart with his personal ranking.
In a viral Truth Social post, the Apprentice star posted a graphic that included his ideal ‘ranking’ of U.S. presidents, from George Washington to Barack Obama. As many would’ve predicted, he put himself at the top, labeling himself as one of “the greatest,” while other history-making leaders were ranked below him. This prompted a massive wave of online backlash, with social media users finding the situation ‘laughable.’

Donald Trump Ranks Himself & Other Presidents In A Truth Social Post
It's no secret that the current president is a big fan of himself, taking a lot of pride in his administration and often boasting about his accomplishments whenever making public appearances or posting on social media.
Over the years, he's mentioned the various ways in which he believes his presidency has ranked above former ones, from presidents who led the country decades ago to more current ones like Barack Obama and Joe Biden. In a new Truth Social post shared this week, he gave his followers and other users a visual aid for how he would rank American presidents, including himself, from the 'greatest' to 'failures.'
The 80-year-old placed himself as the one and only 'greatest' president at the top of the graphic chart, while other legendary presidents like Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and Franklin D. Roosevelt were placed under "great." For the "near great" category, he put in Grover Cleveland and Theodore Roosevelt, among others. The ones he considered "Average" included Bill Clinton, John Quincy Adams, James Monroe, and James Madison, with "below average" presidents being Calvin Coolidge, John Tyler, and Millard Fillmore.
Then, at the bottom, he listed Barack Obama and Joe Biden, as well as Jimmy Carter, Ulysses S. Grant, and Warren G. Harding. There was a notable number of presidents missing from his rankings, making the graphic quite selective.
Social Media Users Respond To Trump's Ranking
After the rankings post was shared on his go-to social media platform, users could not get over the president's opinions and quickly began circulating the image on other sites.
Many couldn't get over how he placed himself, and himself alone, at the very top, in the 'greatest' category, and put many accomplished, history-making leaders below him. Additionally, others found the post to be 'funny,' seeing it as another laughable incident that has occurred throughout his second term so far.
"I think he's reading the list upside down," commented a Facebook user.
"The greatest don't really say it," responded another. "Usually it comes from people who know that someone is the greatest."
"I needed a good laugh," one user wrote, with another echoing, "That's the funniest joke I've heard."
"He's the most corrupt President ever," a user chimed in. "That I'll give him."
