I've never seen one. In Trump's case, the E should stand for "Egregious."

The F is considered separate as it denotes a failing grade, and does not need to go in alphabetical order. It just so happens that "fail" starts with a letter that skips one letter alphabetically on the scale. That said, E was used at one point.Sep 24, 2014

and I wondered what an "F" was! Of course that was over 50 years ago.

That was the worst Oval Office speech of the modern presidency (I would use Kennedy to start the modern presidency). Like, not even close. And to add to the unbiased response, I would put Reagan's Challenger speech near the top. Trump's was uninspired, too short to develop any emotional response, and poorly delivered. And it contained no new information (and no new lies, either). That Republicans had to go on shows and basically say "well, he didn't shit his pants or go off on a tangent, to it was WONDERFUL" had to be hard to do. Not that I have any shits to give about how hard being an apologist for Trump must be.
