No, there is no objective yes/no answer—“good president” is inherently subjective and depends on one’s values, priorities (e.g., economy vs. borders vs. foreign alliances vs. social issues), and metrics for success. Public opinion at the end of his term (2021–2025) was largely negative, with low approval ratings and many viewing his presidency as below average or a failure, though supporters highl
