    That really isn’t saying much. During his time as president they built the pentagon, made the atomic bomb, rounded up Asian people in concentration camps. In order to combat the depression his first New Deal included paying farmers to destroy crops and cull herds to raise the commodity price of food. People were starving while bourgeois land-owners were given money to destroy food.

    He signed the Atlantic Charter (which was a precursor to Anglo-American global hegemony), he was part of the Bretton Woods Conference (creating the IMF and the precursor to the World Bank).

    There’s just no such thing as a “good” american president because the whole nation is nothing more than a colonial imperialist project
