My suspicion is that his father will be known to history as one of the
best presidents of the 20th century in great part because he knew
when to get into a war and when to get out.  His son will be known as
one of the worse presidents because he didn't.

 Purportedly objective criteria:
 GHWB is around 19th or 20th best.
Obama is 7th.
Carter is 22nd.
Nixon 35th
Trump, 45th.   The bottom of the list.
