James Polk is my choice (not a name you'll normally hear), because he greatly increased the territory of the US and achieved all of his objectives in a single term.
>Liberals love FDR >FDR forcibly interned thousands of American citizens just because of their heritage
Oh but his new deal stopped the great depression. No it actually extended the depression and gave America a taste of what socialism was like. And we can also thank FDR for basically supplying China and Russia with the starter packs to become the socialist scourges they would later become.
@CapitalismFailed there’s been a consistent growth of 2% each year. Under Reagan it was around 6%. But it can be argued that economic growth has very little to do with presidents.
@Jamie05rhs Roma, had problem whit the germanic tribs. Declar Dacia the moust strongast country even afther they incorporate in theyr empire. Greek olso whas a huge power. China. But USA is the first WORL POWER.
@Jamie05rhs maby, yes i'm from Romania. The dacians people are the only "barbarian whit statues in Roma. Not other region get so much respect from the Romans
I hope you are American because that will give your voice more credit than mine lol. More seriously, Wilson wanted the American hegemony, Roosevelt to realized it. Alexandru resonates in terms of good or bad, which does not make sense to me because the greatest world powers even if they dress their power in democratic discourse the reality is that there is just power and domination that counts
I agree to a point. I'm actually not opposed to a strong degree of hegemony. Not because I'm opposed to other cultures as a moral, but because I believe democracies are sensitive. I understand that without power, there will always be another power to overrule yours. Is that what you mean?
You guys are starting to bullshiting to much. Winson wanted an United Europ that will be enought strong to not depand on other nation to make peace and end all the war by unificating all the country and give more freedome to all of them
i don't care who whas wilson before, i care about what he reallty wanted to do for my country and others. If Roosveld whas good for USA and bad for my country then he is a shit hole
I understand what he wanted and I agree with that specific sentiment. That alone does not make a great president. Watch the video I posted in this comments section.
I don't care what someone wanted to do, I care about what they did. He attacked American rights and stated policies that lead to many of the nutty left wing philosophies America has today.
@Hogwheels Yes, I will give a concrete example, when France decides to help the United States for their war of independence, France says that she will help the Americans to defend freedom and the cause of an oppressed people, the reality is that France just wants revenge on the English in relation to the Seven Years' War which caused the loss of hegemony of France. I think we have to stop having a naive view of the world, everyone is fighting for their own interests and they are right
You two speak from the posts of countries, leaders and partisans. The USA was not treated as a slave and France was not enslaved since Roman times. A figure like Napoleon and Wilson who wanted to change something and failed, because there were circumstances outside their power are worth much more than others who did but only at lower levels. The great powers should not talk about the world as they wish. Small nations are not your toys, we are not slaves to anyone and we do not accept to be ruled by anyone. If Wilson proposed and took action for the 14 points then it is clear from what he himself presented that he was and will be the best president for the whole WORLD.
@Hogwheels You are right, Lafayette was really sincere. But Lafayette, whom I respect enormously, was a naive man, he thought that freedom was what guide peoples, Napoleon in this sentence about Lafayette, "La Fayette is an eternal political idiot, duped by men and things"
@Jonathanlama, I'm a libertarian. I think big government always, let me repeat, ALWAYS, becomes corrupt. High taxes always leads to kickbacks. More government officials always leads to corrupt lobbying.
Completely wrong, more people represent a harder majority to control and corrupt. It is said by a person who lived in the country of the last European communist dictator.
Sorry, I misspoke. Yes there are branches of government where more is good. I meant fewer people executing law and policy, and more accountability against those people.
As for legislators, more of them and higher standards for passing law. It should be more than 50%. The filibuster is the only thing holding this country together and the filibuster means nothing if there's no accountability to our president and his executive orders.
What keeps the country united is the will of the people. Because there is a larger group of politicians in a democracy than a dictatorship, this allows information to flow from outside that group. Thus, the people have indirect access to information from offices. The people decide what needs to be done. The French girl should agree here. Didn't the French Revolution teach you anything?
I agree with you on one point, small nations deserve respect, but Wilson like Roosevelt didn't care about freedom or democracy, he just wanted to impose American power, which is why the Americans stepped in in the world war, the American leaders did not care about the freedom of Europe, but it was the perfect opportunity for Americans to impose themselves in the world
I know the US had hidden interests. But they only imposed the kind of government. They were adapting our continent to a democratic and united system, what will not suit you from those 14 points?
I don't think America's primary goal was spreading democracy. I think Vietnam was about French Corn and Iraq was about oil. I actually see the merits of the Iraq war though. Oil was and probably still is the most valuable currency in the world and who ever controls it has a lot of sway in the world. It would not be good to let the middle east have that sway.
the oil teory from Midle East is just conspiratory teory, USA have the second lages production of oil in the world and the biggest reserv in the world afther Russia, so live me alone whit that one.
It's imposible to take the Oil from Midle East whidout making conflict whit EU and Russia in the same move. Olso USA have Venezuela more close whith have more oil the Midle East. Is a war for extending the democracy, get a new aliat in the future by suporting a pro USA governament and manage a culture that is persecuted whit medieval rouls
The EU are pansies who would never do anything in retaliation. They'd just have morality meetings where they'd condemn Russia as if that'll get Russia to stop.
@Hogwheels i am 100 percent agree with you, it is precisely the problem european union, the problem is that the countries of the european union have decided to get out of history and just trade and human rights as new religion

Abraham Lincoln and FDR. I only really put FDR because his wife was the SINGLEMOST greatest first lady america has ever had.
She definitely was.
The one who ended slavery and made a rule presidents can’t serve more than 2 terms - not sure the name cause I’m not American
Those were two different presidents.
I don't know who did the term limits, but Abraham Lincoln was the man from Illinois who ended slavery.
The two-term limit was put into place when Harry Truman was president, I’m pretty sure, although it had been a unofficial rule since Washington.
James Polk is my choice (not a name you'll normally hear), because he greatly increased the territory of the US and achieved all of his objectives in a single term.
Interesting.
Franklin D Roosevelt by helping end the Great Depression
I would argue that the fact that all the factories in Europe being leveled during WWII was the major contributing factor in that.
FDR and Lincoln, then Washington.
I think Eisenhower shouldn't be underrated.
>Liberals love FDR
>FDR forcibly interned thousands of American citizens just because of their heritage
Oh but his new deal stopped the great depression. No it actually extended the depression and gave America a taste of what socialism was like. And we can also thank FDR for basically supplying China and Russia with the starter packs to become the socialist scourges they would later become.
FDR is why you still have a country that gives you the freedom to bitch about FDR... and to do so in English.
Stop being an idiot.
It's very unbecoming.
President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho
Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk
He's first democratic president of Czech/Slovak people.
Not American but I'd say Abe Lincoln is the obvipus answer. Followed probably by Franklin D. Roosevelt.
It's not trump thats for sure
In history. George Washington. Recent times, Ronald Reagan was love by most. Economic growth was huge and he was very popular with both parties.
oh so you're conservative
what's with all the socialist nazi talk then?
@The_Sal bro. You’re retarded.
yeah you're severely brain damaged.
only the left could post something so backwards ands retarded
@The_Sal tf outa here you peanut brain.
I'm not the socialist here pretending to be a normal thinking rational human being 🤗
Economic growth for a few, stagnation or worse for most. A trend that has continued ever since.
@CapitalismFailed there’s been a consistent growth of 2% each year. Under Reagan it was around 6%. But it can be argued that economic growth has very little to do with presidents.
you're brain is severely damaged
form 4 years of trump derangement syndrome
@The_Sal mental midget
FDR gets my vote. He pulled America out of the Depression.
did he tho? did he really? or did he happen to preside over the natural growth out of a recession and his policies actually slowed it down?
Donald Trump. One man against the entire system.
My top 3 (in no particular order) are John F Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln, and Barack Obama.
Without a doubt Abraham Lincoln. 2nd choice Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Abe or roose, America isn't the first world power tho
who is then?
Rome?
@Jamie05rhs Roma, had problem whit the germanic tribs. Declar Dacia the moust strongast country even afther they incorporate in theyr empire.
Greek olso whas a huge power.
China.
But USA is the first WORL POWER.
You're speaking of Romania, right? Aren't you from there? (I believe we spoke before.)
@Jamie05rhs maby, yes i'm from Romania. The dacians people are the only "barbarian whit statues in Roma. Not other region get so much respect from the Romans
Yes! I remember you talking about that.
Remember when you shared your national anthem?
@Jamie05rhs did you like it? :)
I did! It was awesome! :)
@Jamie05rhs thanks, what did you think about the liryks :)
They were badass.
Hmmm, I have never been in America before it my dream to travel there one day
Pls who is going to help me travel to him or her and spend time there
You'd have to go back pretty close to our nations founding to find a truly great and God-worshipping president.
Best: Theodore Roosevelt
Worst: Woodrow Wilson
@Alexandrubaschet08 🤣
Lol, I didn't see his answer til just now. I'm guessing he's trolling hardcore.
https://youtu.be/Hm0Gzz53YJo
i gues you are a fucking idiot
WILSOOOOOON!
I hope you are American because that will give your voice more credit than mine lol. More seriously, Wilson wanted the American hegemony, Roosevelt to realized it. Alexandru resonates in terms of good or bad, which does not make sense to me because the greatest world powers even if they dress their power in democratic discourse the reality is that there is just power and domination that counts

My last comment was to @Jonathanlama
And yes, I'm American
you are terible wrong, that a huge bullshit
@Alexandrubaschet08, I enjoy your comments. I'm gonna follow you.
You guys are starting to bullshiting to much. Winson wanted an United Europ that will be enought strong to not depand on other nation to make peace and end all the war by unificating all the country and give more freedome to all of them

I think we have to stop having a naive view of the world, everyone is fighting for their own interests and they are right
I think you're absolutely right that many french bureaucrats just wanted revenge. I think Lafeyette actually believed in freedom.
Freedom was in Lafeyette's own interest as a matter of fact
You two speak from the posts of countries, leaders and partisans.
The USA was not treated as a slave and France was not enslaved since Roman times.
A figure like Napoleon and Wilson who wanted to change something and failed, because there were circumstances outside their power are worth much more than others who did but only at lower levels.

Any great nation that wants to impose itself in front of any other nation will pay the necessary price in blood.
@Alexandrubaschet08, Totally agree, foreign affairs is not our place as a country.
@Jonathanlama, I'm a libertarian. I think big government always, let me repeat, ALWAYS, becomes corrupt. High taxes always leads to kickbacks. More government officials always leads to corrupt lobbying.
Freedom means being able to choose from a multitude of options. Wilson wanted to offer the widest variety of options.
Completely wrong, more people represent a harder majority to control and corrupt. It is said by a person who lived in the country of the last European communist dictator.
Sorry, I misspoke. Yes there are branches of government where more is good. I meant fewer people executing law and policy, and more accountability against those people.

Oil was and probably still is the most valuable currency in the world and who ever controls it has a lot of sway in the world. It would not be good to let the middle east have that sway.
My country was already democratic before Wilson
the oil teory from Midle East is just conspiratory teory, USA have the second lages production of oil in the world and the biggest reserv in the world afther Russia, so live me alone whit that one.
But the middle east has more access to trade with Europe and Russia was trying to take rights to the oil, specifically in Syria.
It's imposible to take the Oil from Midle East whidout making conflict whit EU and Russia in the same move. Olso USA have Venezuela more close whith have more oil the Midle East. Is a war for extending the democracy, get a new aliat in the future by suporting a pro USA governament and manage a culture that is persecuted whit medieval rouls

No offense to France @Jonathanlama

Sorry, guys. Lol. I'm juvenile.
I would FDR for ending the Great Depression.
My favorite would probably be Thomas Jefferson.
My least favorite would have to be Woodrow Wilson, Lincoln, Lyndon B. Johnson, or Truman.
Why do you hate Lincoln?
