Frankly, inept. Grant was a superb general, and as president, his heart was truly in the right place - he was a patriot - but his judgment in picking people to work for him was awful. He knew the Army. He did not know Washington. Many people who knew and admired him tremendously, were still relieved when his presidency was over (Mark Twain, for one).

Ulysses S. Grant is often ranked in the lower half of presidents, but opinions on his presidency vary. He faced several challenges during his time in office, including addressing the issues of Reconstruction and confronting political corruption. While he is credited with some successes, such as civil service reform, his presidency was marred by scandals and economic downturns. Overall, Grant's presidency is generally seen as mediocre or below average.
