In my lifetime it's Reagan, Trump and Ike. Ike popularized golf and it influenced my dad to start playing in middle age. Added years to his life because he was a manual laborer with no hobbies.

Reagan all day every day.

Ouch, man
Two of those guys are actors that don't even have their own agenda they are just tools of the Republican party because they rarely have politicians that are electable to the presidency.
FD Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy.
How do I know Roosevelt is the greatest president?
Republicans barely have an agenda, their agena for almost the past 100 years has been to reverse the things FDR did and they've mostly failed.
100 years of victory for Democrats.

Personally, I think that a list of “greatest presidents” must constitute some thing other than “the guys with whom I generally agreed.” 90% of the posts on this thread fall into that category.
I think the list must be comprised of individuals who actually accomplished something of moment.
Reagan certainly belongs on the list. He ended the Soviet threat, essentially single-handedly. Trump? Yeah, he had a decent economy for his first three years. Kennedy? Well, he got shot. Other than that, he did point us in the direction of the moon. What else did he accomplish?
Washington? He did not actually accomplish very much in office. He is held in high esteem for the actions he performed before he was elected. In office, all he really did was set precedent by agreeing to step down.
Jefferson actually accomplish something. Even if you disagree with his methods, he paved the way for the United States to become a continent-spanning power.
Lincoln? Personally, I dislike him immensely because of all the constitutional abuses which took place during his administration. However, he did have the backbone to preserve the nation, when many would’ve advised allowing the south to leave. I would describe FDR in much the same way.
My list? Jefferson , FDR and Reagan. Honorable mention to Teddy.

Dirty guy from a dirty family. He was only elected bc the mob wanted someone they could control. Went back on his father's promises and got whacked.

My choice for greatest President will always be George Washington for one simple reason. He could have started a new monarchy in this fledgling republic. He had a lot of support and calls to do so but refused. That one principled stand allowed our nation a new birth.
The worst was Jimmy Carter. He unleashed the hell that has been Al Queda and all of radical Islam upon an unsuspecting world. He showed what Democratic policies will do to an economy.

The only thing Kennedy ever did was get shot. Oh, there was that Bay of Pigs fiasco! Other than that, name one accomplishment.

Reagan enacted some of the worst anti gun legislation in modern US history. He did some good things but allowing the Hughes amendment added to the firearm owners protection act is unforgivable to me. It basically outlawed the transfer of machine guns transferred to an individual after May 1986. These were already heavily regulated by the NFA of 1934.

What's your argument for Kennedy? I don't see him as a particularly bad president but he was inconsequential.
