This must happen by the end of President’s Day 2024 (in PT) or this will Resolve NO.
** We’re going to be a smidge liberal here, and count synonyms of “greatest”, which clearly indicates that Trump views himself as superior to all other presidents.
A (non-exhaustive) list of substitutes I would accept for “greatest”, which must be used in the context of all other presidents:
Best
Number 1
Strongest
Preeminent
Most goodest
“Your favorite President” does not count.
* Acceptable versions of Trump’s “speech”:
Speaking in person, captured on video, or in widely circulated (objectively reported) quoted text [think NYTimes].
Speaking in private, captured on recording, or in widely circulated (objectively reported) quoted text [think NYTimes].
Posting on social media original text / images.
Reposting on social media quoted text / images.
Things his campaign / campaign staff says, which he does not repost from a personal account, do not count.

@traders i can’t find any evidence of this happening. feel free to provide evidence this morning and if there’s none this afternoon i’ll resolve this
@mattyb He was listed as 45th best president of all times. If that doesn't count, I don't know what does.

@Lion probably a joke, but i’ve seen no record trump has even seen this list
Will Trump call* himself
@mattyb yeah, was a joke. Just visited 'truth'social for the first time in my life and couldn't find any evidence as well expect for WRITING IN CAPLOCKS AND INSULTING PEOPLE.
I think he has seen this list. Why would he comment on it?
@mattyb it's ridiculous though. Even if you despise Trump, it's clear GW Bush was much worse (how many trillion $ sunk into the desert?).
@AlQuinn I would say that there are a number of contenders for worst President. Any list without Andrew Jackson would be incorrect, and personally I hate James Buchanan the useless Pennsylvania who let the country dissolve into Civil War.
All that being said, Trump being at the bottom doesn’t seem that outlandishly wrong.
@mattyb Well fwiw this would be my ranked list of presidents during my life (judging historical ones is a bit of a different task):
GHW Bush
Reagan
Clinton
Obama/Trump (tied)
Biden
GW Bush
It's funny because I like a lot of presidents for some of their least popular acts. GHW Bush got raked over coals for "read my lips", but as it turned out, he was the last fiscal conservative Republican, and Clinton was the last such Democrat (maybe partially by accident/luck).
