Historians generally like to wait about a decade after a president leaves office before they start evaluating his presidency. Some policies take time to bloom, and there might be policies that later make that administration look better, or worse.
In Trump's case, he was such a terrible president, that historians pretty much installed him in last place immediately after his first term. Obviously, his second term has only confirmed what historians concluded already.
It's not just because his policies have been so terrible, although that alone would bury him, it's also the fact that he's a proven Traitor in multiple ways (the Jan 6 coup, the false electors plot, stolen documents, foreign collusion, bribery from hostile nations, etc).
He is such a terrible president, that even Biden's ranking has suffered, because he allowed MAGA to rise again, and allowed Trump to regain power.
He is EASILY the worst president in history, and that is before the fact that he is likely to end up in prison or even executed, has been factored in.
He will never face any consequences because society sucks.
There’s still his entire shitty family to go after though. And Trump himself is probably the least shitty of his entire administration. At least he has dementia and a two-digit IQ. Everyone enabling him has no excuse besides being absolute trash human beings.
