Depends on your point of view. The big pharmaceutical companies must think he is wonderful, considering the return he has given them on what they invested in his election.

You likely need to go back at least 50 years before you find anyone who might qualify as the best president. These days, in common with other western countries, the leaders in the US are chosen by big business, simply because they won't get elected without huge financial backing.

If you look behind the headlines, there isn't a president since before WW2 who hasn't bent government to narrow interests and ignored many issues affecting the wider population.
