During the first Trump administration, I marked my extreme distain for the whole operation by posting a regular feature on this website, Trump Terrible 10, ranking and critiquing the ten most disgraceful people in the administration that week. Consistent with my views about the best way to operate during Trump 2, I’m not doing that this time. No way. 

But I’m gonna post this list, without all the glib editorializing. It has the benefit of some social media crowdsourcing for fine-tuning. I might revisit the rankings at some point. Feel free to send me your thoughts.

Disgracefulness ranking is based on a combination of (1) illegal abuse of power; (2) pursuit of terrible policies; (3) personal corruption; (4) blind obedience to Trump whims; (5) dishonesty; and (6) just general awfulness. 

1. Donald Trump
2. Pam Bondi
3. Stephen Miller
4. Russ Vought
5. Pete Hegseth
6. Kristi Noem
7. Bobby Kennedy
8. JD Vance
9. Brendan Carr
10. Chris Wright
11. Tom Homan
12. Kash Patel
13. Ed Martin
14. Vince Haley
15. Susie Wiles
16. Karoline Leavitt
17. Scott Bessent
18. Lindsey Halligan
19. Bill Pulte
20. Tulsi Gabbard
21. Lee Zeldin
22. Doug Burgum
23. Paul Ingrassia

OK, 23.
