re: .

Had JFK not been assassinated he would have gone down in history as one of the worse Presidents in US history.

As someone who is a fan of a small central government and laissez-faire economics, Coolidge is at the top of my list!

Trump, Reagan, Eisenhower.

Trump because of his determination to create an economy that benefits all workers regardless of race and gender through his "America First" iniative. His effort (the Wall) to secure our borders, and his effort to disconnect America from its roll as the UN's policeman.

Reagan because he stood at the Wall in West Berlin and said,"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" The citizens of Berlin did tear down the wall and the image of West and East Berliners hugging with elation amidst the collapsed wall was a sight I will never forget.

Eisenhower because after finishing his term as President, and in his departing message to the American people, warned of the dangers of the Military-Industrial complex. IMO America ignored his warning and that was a contributing factor in our defeat in Viet Nam.

Having said that, I'm convinced if Joe Biden is elected President we will be plunged back into a terrible war. A war to protect the profits of the multi-national corporations, including Wall Street and the International Banking Cabal.

My list as well. Coolidge is often overlooked. Trump getting a second term would move him ahead of Reagan on my list.

Reagan all day every day.

Ever heard of a guy named Lincoln? Slavery was abolished under his presidency? Or how about George Washington? Teddy Roosevelt? Thomas Jefferson? You know, the country is older than 60 years?

He stated his opinion for his top 3. You should state yours instead of just being an asshat.

Mine:
1. Lincoln - civil war / emancipation
2. Washington - the OG
3. FDR - WWII
4. Reagan - Cold War
5. Kennedy - Cuba

Teddy - Parks
Trump - dealing with neo-Marxist revolutionaries

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.

1. Washington
2. Teddy
