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.
