Reconsidering The Presidents

At one time, Harry Truman was generally considered to be the worst President of all time! At their worst, President Truman’s approval numbers were even lower than Presidents G. W. Bush, Jimmy Carter or Donald Trump!  Yet today, many historians consider him to be one of the best Presidents! How, why, and when did this shift in historical opinion take place? Could Presidents Bush, Clinton or Trump someday be seen in a more favorable light?
