US President Donald Trump has shared a self-created chart ranking himself as the greatest president in American history, placing himself above George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. His post followed a CNN poll in which 53% of Republicans identified Trump as the Republican president they admire most. Critics pointed out that the chart was adapted from a 1948 Life magazine ranking, with Trump added at the top while omitting later Republican presidents such as Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush. Historians and political scientists, however, have frequently placed Trump near the bottom of presidential rankings, citing concerns about democratic institutions. (PC: X)
