Who do american posters believe was their best president in history?

Unironically FDR

I actually like Nixon a ton and I’m not even right-wing. He got us off the gold standard, established the EPA, pushed for nationalized health insurance, and even had a brilliant strategy in Vietnam, given what information was available (bombing bunkers)

Certainly. Veteran of BOTH world wars and responsible for the Federal Aid Highway Act and trying to desegregate the armed forces

Either him or JFK. I know jfk wasn’t perfect but LBJ (right after JFK) was definitely the beginning of the US being heavily controlled by the (((deep state)))

JFK was martyred and that skews things, but he handled the missile crisis well. I can forgive the Bay of Pigs

Teddy Roosevelt.
>Would Murricans agree that Eisenhower was their last great president?
Probably, he did a lot for infrastructure and despite being a republican taxed the rich. He also wasn't a pervert and didn't get us involved in any wars like later presidents.

Eisenhower wasn't involved in WWI. His requests to be transferred to France got rejected and he was forced to spend the war training soldiers in Pennsylvania.

Trump

He was a Progressive (in the actual sense)-- pretty interesting time for the Republican party

False memory, I guess. But his military service is still pretty impressive

Eh? Eisenhower was very much a typical small town Republican of the early 20th century. Although he did not attempt to roll back the New Deal, he also did not make an effort to expand it. The idea of an interventionalist foreign policy and making the world safe for democracy was a Wilsonian idea pursued by Democrats.

There have been many great statesmen and orators to hold office (our current holder of the office is not among them). I'd have to say that Lincoln has to top the list, his character, tenacity, and faith saw this country through the ruinous threat of dissolution and sundering of our common prosperity.

>and despite being a republican taxed the rich
The highest rate for the upper bracket was under Eisenhower.

I meant the Bernout was acting as if the 90% income tax rates in the 50s were something to aspire to.

I seriously doubt that they do

Yes. All presidents afterword(maybe not JFK) were not for the people. Eisenhower was for the people though

It's not. It should have been 100%.

No the nrst presidents are
Washington(this is a given)
Lincoln(duh)
Jefferson(say what you want but he had good intentions at heart)
Teddy Roosevelt
Eisenhower
Franklin Roosevelt

It did lead to a decade of anemic economic growth and three recessions.

There isn't any reason to have Kennedy on that list, Wilson would be better in his stead. Finally noticing Trump on there really reveals that your post is bait of course.

Jefferson would be considered a better president if we had more Whig presidents

That sounds strange but I'm totally serious

also doubled the country without an unneccesary war

FDR was a terrible and short sighted president. Greatly shows the democratic problem of only doing stuff for the immediate re-election.

This

Kennedy was a stupid shithead
Seriously deserved to die

Thats why he is down on the bottom. Although he was short sighted he greatly raised moral in the country. Look at who voted for what to because of his popularity commies lost power in voting because people regained faith

What makes you so strongly opinionated, and why would you go so far as to write that?

>Cuban
>Missile
>Crisis
He's just mad Khruschev blinked first

*morale

JACKSON

we should had listened to abolish national bank

we did
The federal reserve is something else entirely

Mostly baiting for an emotional response that I can easily debate.
But that's because I think he was a poser set up by his father who wasnt emotionally ready for the presidency and almost incited a global nuclear catastrophe that the world was spared from only thanks to one Soviet naval officer who averted the disaster.

Say hi Ivan

Nah, Carter was

Carter may well not have existed

Dont care even remotely. How are those billions spent on one useless mission working out for you?
Not what I posted about anyways. Have bothing against America rwally

*nothing
*really

All that money helped develop better computers and materials so it worked out very well

I thought Bobby Kennedy and Khruschev worked out a back-channel deal that would save face for both administrations

t. Eisenhower

Then Ford or LBJ. LBJ was good other than Vietnam.

People often fail to understand this, but money our government spends on aerospace and defense goes to american companies, pays american salaries and boost the american economy

Did they? Do you have a source?
Cool

Bush (both terms) was unironically worse than Trump

>Ford

as insubstantial as administrations go

LBJ had some profound failures enacting and gaining support for his social welfare initiatives, as well as leading to a chaotic tumult in his own party coming to a head at the '68 DNC

I don't desu I just watched some videos on it

Everyone saying Reagan is a child boomer who probably watched pewdiepie and ben shapiro

*watches, as in currently

They probably also watch jordan peterson and h3h3

He fucking sucked.

1.Washington
2.Teddy
3.Lincoln
4.Jefferson
5.Trump (If he manages to destroy the American Empire and allow someone else to lead the world)

Oy vey muh banking system
muh minorities genocided

removing the quarrelsome indians to land grants far from settlers was a kindness

there is no discussion Teddy is G.O.A.T. (for more reasons than just his physical fitness)
miles ahead of his crippled cousin who screwed up everything he touched (domestic policy wise)

>Kennedy was a stupid shithead
>Seriously deserved to die
yes, many in the military openly celibrated when they heard he died

knew someone whos reaction to hearing about it was "So they finally killed that son of a bitch?"

you cant say that until he has been out of office for a few years, and you have hindsight, and have seen the aftermath of his office's decisions

overhyped, he was retarded, but also a professional movie actor, so people loved him anyways

Nixon was amazing, probably one of the best foreign agendas that any president has ever had (end vietnam, open relations with china, ectera)
his major flaw was that he was overly paranoid, and got more involved with his political party than he should have
(and running a casino naval ship durring WWII, if your granddaddy lost his paycheck to ol' tricky dick)

Taft had more power, being a president and supreme court justice over his lifetime
even if he was fat as fuck

domestically he was hated until 20+ years after he was out of office, at one point in office he had a 19% approval rating

depends on how you define great

Central banking system in the US had nothing to do with Jews, stormfag

Red pill me on George Bush the First. I don't know much about his presidency but see seems to have a very respectable background.

read my lips: "no new taxes!" oh wait..

T. Boomer who still remembers Cold War beef

He was the director of the CIA, how the fuck is that a respectable background?

Seymour Hersh claims something similar in The Dark Side of Camelot

Theodore Roosevelt

why would you think it not a respectable background? it's an agency charged with safeguarding information that could be used to harm americans, to thwart the subterfuge of foreign powers, and to keep an eye on the actions of adversaries.

Jow Forumstards hate the CIA

he was definitely more intelligent and Machiavellian than his son that's for sure.
youtube.com/watch?v=6BEsZMvrq-I

Either Obama for trolling conservatards epic style or FDR for singlehandedlt stopping the Great Depression and overseeing the killing of millions of nazishits

pretty sure lefty/pol/ and even r*ddit hates them more.

How fucking young are you that you think hating the CIA is a Jow Forums position of all things? Are you literally 3 years old?

How do you still trust them after multiple fuckups?

>every single anti-Soviet resistance movement infiltrated post WW2
>acting as paramilitaries for United Fruit
>didn't detect Chinese surge into North Korea
>Bay of Pigs fiasco
>blindsided by Soviet collapse
>Aldrich Ames
>anything related to drug-trafficking in the '60s/'80s
>just recently lost most of their Chinese sources because of a suspected Chinese-American double agent

If the CIA were really as smart and competent as Noam Chomsky thinks they are, we'd really be in trouble. It's more like the Keystone Kops.

>kidnapping and torture of random american citizens just to practice their torture techniques

>eternal warcrimes

the list is endless

>assravaged moron deflects from the evil things they constantly do by claiming they're incompetent

I don't give a fuck how successful they are, they're violent criminals who operate above the law

>Nixon was amazing, probably one of the best foreign agendas that any president has ever had (end vietnam, open relations with china, ectera)

Not at all. The guy was an opportunist who saw politics only in short term, immediate gain and had no greater vision. Him and Kissinger didn't have Reagan's vision of a world without Soviet communism. To them, the Cold War was just a fact of life and they never imagined it changing in their lifetimes.

>him and kissinger

I don't think I need to value the political opinions of someone that can't even write in his own language.

Clinton, Obama

bait

>trump
kys

you better count how many times they succeeded. thousands of successful operations. you probably don't even know about many of them. CIA is based as fuck. Eradicated communism in LA, saved the world from the Middle East threat, etc etc

>Not being a true American nationalist by realizing that we will never solve the problems with our society until we regain our isolationist heritage

Yeah that was before Republicans and Democrats switched roles and voter bases

that's a meme

They also completely failed to detect Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait.

it's because Jow Forums follows whatever opinion trump surrently fashions
and if that's CIA = bad, they're fine with it as long a some liberal disagrees

>Castro assassination plots that could have been engineered by Wil E. Coyote.

if a dictator likes cigars it's only natural that you should try to hid dynamite in them, come on
