> Donald Trump revised his presidential ranking list online, adding several former leaders like Reagan and Eisenhower to new categories below his own standalone top spot.

## Las claves

- Trump updated a chart on Truth Social with new president rankings
- Reagan added to 'Near Great' tier alongside Eisenhower
- Historians previously ranked Trump last in similar surveys

President Donald Trump has shared a revised version of his ranking of U.S. presidents, expanding on a chart he posted days earlier that placed himself alone in a category labeled "The Greatest." The updated ranking was posted to Truth Social on Sunday and retains Trump in the standalone top tier above Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and Franklin D. Roosevelt. This revision adds several former presidents who were absent from his initial post.

### New Inclusions for Conservative Icons

Among those newly included are Ronald Reagan, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush. Most significantly, Reagan has been added to the "Near Great" category. This inclusion draws attention as Reagan is often regarded by many Republicans as a modern standard-bearer of the conservative movement.

The revised list also places Eisenhower in the same tier. Kennedy and Nixon are now ranked as "Average." Ford and George H.W. Bush have been added to the "Below Average" tier, alongside Lyndon B. Johnson, who did not appear in Trump's earlier chart. Another notable change involves Herbert Hoover, who was previously listed as "Average" but has moved into the "Failures" category.

### Exclusions and Historical Context

The updated ranking includes 43 presidents, leaving several commanders-in-chief off the list entirely. Notable omissions include William Henry Harrison, who served just 31 days before dying in office in 1841, making his presidency the shortest in U.S. history. The chart also omits James Garfield, who was assassinated in 1881 after serving less than a year, a story we covered in [Trump Ranks Himself Greatest President on Truth Social](/noticia/trump-ranks-himself-greatest-president-on-truth-social).

The United States has had 45 different people serve as president from George Washington to Donald Trump. However, Trump is officially the nation's 45th and 47th president due to two nonconsecutive terms. The revised chart offers insight into Trump's view of American presidential history while underscoring his unique standing within today's Republican Party, a story we covered in [Trump Ranks Himself Greatest President on Truth Social](/noticia/trump-ranks-himself-greatest-president-on-truth-social).

### Comparison with Historians

Trump’s rankings differ sharply from those produced by presidential historians. In the 2024 Presidential Greatness Project survey, historians ranked Lincoln as the nation's greatest president, followed by Franklin D. Roosevelt and Washington. Trump finished last in that specific survey, more details at [El Comercio](https://elcomercio.com).

The updated chart continues to elevate figures whose legacies are debated among scholars. Woodrow Wilson remains in the "Great" category despite criticism regarding his administration's record on racial segregation. At the opposite end of Trump’s rankings, Biden, Obama, Ulysses S. Grant, Warren Harding, Carter, and Hoover are grouped together in the "Failures" category.
