Donald Trump defied expectations, by being nominated and then by being elected. But now the standard of success is even greater. How will President Trump compare with past presidents? Will he have the negotiating skills of Abe Lincoln? The crisis management ability of JFK? The communication capacity of Ronald Reagan? The job creation knack of Bill Clinton? The unifying power of George Washington? Will he be tremendous, big league? Or will history instead call Donald Trump a middling president?

This short book gives examples of presidential greatness, and then invites you to consider your own judgments about Donald Trump's performance, as his presidency proceeds. The book reminds America and the world that as citizens of these United States we each have the right and the civic duty to publicly judge our presidents and to let them know the standards we want them to meet. As President Theodore Roosevelt said, "The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile."
