That didn't start with manifest destiny. That started with the first English colonies being established.
In the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, Mexicans living in the Mexican Cession were allowed to keep their land and live as Americans.

I didn't say it did, but that doesn't mean that wasn't what MD was selling.

I agree, but it was under the guise of the justifications I mentioned.

Some of my personal favorites include:
Trump - Terrific so far and battling so much bullshite. A true inspiration.
Reagan - Came along at just the right moment. Got us back on track.
Ike - Peak Americana. Let his people do their jobs and played a lot of golf.
Andrew Jackson - The 1st true populist. I admire his not give a frick attitude and skepticism of bankers.
Jefferson - A true radical and believer in the common man. Also didn't like big government. Also funded Lewis and Clarke
Washington - Good dude. Exactly what we needed and stepped down when his time was done.
Like personally but their Presidency was maybe a little to liberal my tastes:
Teddy Roosevelt - Incredible guy. Great personality and I love his foreign policy, but he wasn't afraid to push the limits of his power and usher in the Progressive Era.
Nixon - Brilliant person. Worked for everything he got but was personally flawed and it caught him in the end. He also created the EPA and a bunch of other bullshite I don't like.

Garfield would have been a good one.
Never actually sought the nomination for President.
Snuffed out by a crazy before he could do much.

Lincoln, for putting down that southern rabble uprising.

Andrew Jackson because he hated the money worshiping, pig bankers, and he was an angry profane General with a massive scrotum. When John C Calhoun threatened to lead South Carolina into succession President Andrew Jackson said to Calhoun, “I will personally raise an army and I will personally march down to South Carolina and hang you from the highest tree if you try to break apart our union”.
That makes my diminutive penis hard as cement......, RIP President - General Jackson

The Republican establishment are the worst offenders of illegal immigration going back to President Eisenhower. Both Dem and Repub establishments want open borders but the Repub establishment is the most guilty.

My parents always said Ike was the worst ever and Truman was bad. They agreed FDR was uncompromisingly great, the best and most courageous leader ever. Have to take their word for it. I barely remember Ike and the others were before my time.

Teddy Roosevelt,
The guy was a terrible president. A case could be made that his urging of the Japanese to develop their own version of the Monroe Doctrine lead to the deaths of thousands of Koreans and Chinese and gave rise to the Japanese military mindset that precipitated WWII.
Plus he was a bit of a pansy who was laughed out of Albany by fellow New York legislators for being a dandy and mamma's boy. His buckskin suit was designed by Brooks Brothers and his frontier portrait was taken at a New York portrait studio. He's more myth than badass.
We got it right with Washington.

Yeah, like unilaterally ending the Bretton-Woods Agreement, AND instituting wage and price controls.

I’m not sure what Ike could’ve done to be considered either worst OR best. It was a pretty uneventful 8 years, relatively speaking.
