Who is your favorite US president of all time?


Dare I say it, it was Donald Trump. He was a troll, but serious as well. I regard him as the new Teddy Roosevelt, who was also controversial, ballsy, and ruffled some feathers back in his day.
Was he the greatest president of all time? Hell no. Did he have a ton of military experience? Nope. But did he piss off the establishment, elitists, corporate trash who think they own America due to their wealth, the propaganda machine that is the mainstream media, and actually help make America better than it was before his presidency? For sure, yes!
Trump was definitely not the best president ever. Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, Kennedy, and in some alternate timeline in the multiverse, Ben Franklin, all would be better presidents than Donald Trump, for sure. But considering the age of censorship and eroding liberties, he was most certainly my favorite. Everyone who hates Trump are the same people I hate and think are worthless to society. So, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend."
I would dispute that, and heartily- but that's not what you're asking for here. So I'll say James Polk. He actually fulfilled every one of his campaign promises, and was the only president (aside from Washington) to do so. His policies were (mostly) grounded in reality, and he didn't treat the Constitution as a suggestion.
George Washington. I find the American Revolution fascinating from a historical standpoint. Washington only reluctantly took the presidency and warned the nation of the inherent danger political parties presented to the nation in his farewell address, a message the country, unfortunately, didn’t embrace.
Mine is biden, Because i like him, he has a veryyyyy beautiful face. He still looks very handsome. 🙂
He was actually very smart earlier in his life but has declined with age
I don't care if he's smart or not. He looks so sweet and cute. That's all.
Would you date him?
@HeartBreakar007 no of course, what the hell are you talking about? Don't you find any celebrity beautiful or handsome?
Yes ma’am
Thanks for this weird conversation.
I honestly can’t say if you’re being sarcastic or genuine. Lol.
He did look handsome when he was young though
@WonderBell99 I'm not sarcastic. The man is very nice. I saw his youth too, but I didn't like it. His current self is a thousand times more handsome and cool than his youth.
Great (: lol
@WonderBell99 thanks 👍
That’s the amazing way to elect a president reminds me of Canada and the stupid Canadians elected their leader based on his hair! Lol what a died world.
@MJtheCoach yes, I vote in the elections based on whether the president is handsome or not. I am so happy. This is none of your business.
@MJtheCoach Truedeau is definitely better than Trump. But of course, y’all snowflakes would get offended if we ever say anything bad about Mr. Donald Duck 😊 All politicians are shit except a very few. Don’t go around idolizing politicians.
Ohh thank you so much 😊

In my lifetime it would be Ronald Reagan. Overall though, no President was better than Lincoln.
While the other Presidents had defining accomplishments and are of undoubted historical importance, none was as decisive and significant as Lincoln, who not only saved the Union in its darkest hour, he defined its very nature.
Indeed, some years back a group of historians rated Lincoln and Churchill not just as great national leaders, but as the greatest leaders in all Western civilization. They earned the accolade - to be sure an accolade not without controversy - because they recurred to very wellsprings of Western civilization to define their statecraft and preserve their societies.
To some degree, this is an observation with a speculative cast. We can only imagine how the Western world would have looked had the United States not survived its civil war. (Ditto had Britain not stood alone and survived in 1940-41.) However, even in a contemporaneous context, Lincoln stands out.
At the time Lincoln became President, it was not just that the country was divided on the question of slavery - with all of its implications for how man viewed his fellow man. The country was, significantly, divided over its very nature. The question of whether or not it was single national community, or instead a confederation of separate and distinct communities, each with their own identity and, in extremis, sovereignty.
Lincoln answered the question not just through military victory - which by itself would not have been enduring - but by summoning the nation to the philosophical essentials of its birth. He defined the nation by common attachment to a specific creed - "a nation dedicated to a proposition" - and in the fullness of time defined the nation.
No President - not even Washington nor Jefferson - answered the question of what the United States was, and thus what it is now, as permanently and definitively. By summoning "the mystic chords of memory," i. e. to a keener sense of its animating principles, Lincoln turned the country into a nation. Something much more essential and elemental and thus enduring.
Not perfectly or completely to be sure. There is no perfection in this mortal veil of tears. However, it is undeniable that had their been no Lincoln, there would have been no America, and had there been no America, the history of Western civilization going forward - with all of its promise of human rights, democracy, and the rule of law - would have looked very different and likely would have taken a far darker turn.
So far, Trump. In the top 5 would also be Kennedy, Lincoln, Washington and I suppose Jefferson. I'd be tempted to include Ike. I don't know how he was IN office but he certainly was looking out or us as he was leaving office and his daughter is still doing so.
Theodore Roosevelt. Hands-on President. Largely responsible for the Panama Canal. Established national parks and is the only 3rd party candidate to win electoral votes. Plus, the teddy bear is named after him.
Yeah he’s pretty good. Funny that Lincoln actually sidestepped lots of constitutional law during the civil war and even threatened to jail the Chief Justice. But I would have too, as he was fighting a civil war against slavery.
FDR is another one. He interned Japanese Americans and turned away Jewish refugees. But he saved the country from the Depression and Britain from being conquered during WW2.
It’s always good to see the real side of your legends.
FDR prolonged the Depression, not saved us from it as well as laid the groundwork for our current situation of $30T of Federal debt
No, Reagan was in charge when we went from being a net creditor nation to a net debtor nation but the debt didn't start with him; he just expanded it. Look up how FDR prolonged the Depression. Also look up how much LBJ's Great Society has cost the Federal government. You will see that the cost is pretty much the entirety of the Federal debt and the Great Society programs were just FDR2.0
I would only choose from the ones that were president when I was old enough to understand what was going on, (Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Obama, Trump) so in that case I pick Trump.
Bush or Trump, Lincoln's only saving grace was that he intended to free the slaves, he was a trainwreck otherwise and most of the credit should go to the Union soldiers, not Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln because he was known for his honesty and also because he helped the slaves.
Other than the over-reaction and internment of Japanese citizens (a big one, I know) it's Teddy Roosevelt. He was a bad ass, and a good President.
I think you mean Franklin Delano Roosevelt... during WW2.
@AviatorTom Right! Got my Roosevelts mixed up. Thanks. I still like Teddy, and FDR too, except for that.
George Washington, he could have been king and rejected it.
As a limey my opinion can't be worth much but John F Kennedy for me. Remember how he faced down the Russkies over the Cuban Missile Crisis? And he was the last President to tour the country in an open-top car.
The red hunter Nixon dude literally said fuck this shit and just quit being president 🤣 most savage end to a presidency ever 💯
Look up the CORWIN AMENDMENT which is actually still pending in the House to this day
I think it's Harry Truman because he won the world war and laid the foundations for the technological and cultural leadership of America today.
I couldn't disagree more. I would rate Truman as our worst president
I don’t really care about any of them but I’d say Obama
Aww you know me so well, not
