“If Trump becomes the 45th and 47th presidents of the US, how many US presidents will be colossal jerks, 1 or 2?”
In fairness, there were other Presidents who might be deemed “colossal jerks”. A recent survey of journal articles by the American Historical Society found that Warren Harding, Ulysses Grant, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, Zachary Taylor and Andrew Johnson were the overwhelming choice of historians as the “worst presidents in American history. Having said that, one can challenge the notion that being among the “worst presidents” is synonymous with being a “colossal jerk”. Clearly, the Trumpkopf would satisfy both criteria although there are some who were failures at leadership but not necessarily jerks.u
