Him and Nixon. Those two are only in the shadow of Wilson and Jackson for being terrible presidents.
And Trump? Please say, "and Trump."
He's more of a symptom of the disease in American society rather than the cause. His presidency was a disaster, but he was too dumb to do a lot of damage.
But I also see his presidency sort of like crossing the Rubicon. He has crossed a lot of boundaries no other president has done before. I would be really worried about who will come next.
Need a bit of time to see how his tenure impacts long-term, but he's certainly up for consideration.
