Historians Rank Every President in history. The votes are in and the POTUS with the lowest score isn't who you might expect.

But then again as they say-  'The jury is still out' - Judgment has not yet been finalized; especially due to information being completed as we speak. The term has been a staple headline in American newspapers for at least 150 years; for example, this from The New York Daily-Times, May 1850: Jury is still out, with no prospect of immediate agreement.

Following the fourth hearing, there was the same number of takeaways. Four strikes and Donald Trump should be out and locked up.

Trump and his team:
