    Is there an American president that everybody agrees was Good/Excellent?

    So it's no secret that donald trump has had a polarizing effect on not only Americans but people all over the world. Those that defend him seem to use things Obama or clinton did to defend trumps actions, so obviously Obama and Clinton were not overwhelmingly liked either. This got me thinking though, is there any president in the last 100 years that that most people agreed was great?

    No, there isn't anything in the world that everyone will agree is good or bad...

    Including presidents.

    Honestly you would probably have to go as far back as Roosevelt.

    Anybody can find reasons as to why they didn't like certain a certain president though. Time has a weird way of making them look a lot better than they were in some instances, and also has a way of making some of them look a lot worse. Like if you're applying what's expected of current presidents in regards to social standards and how we think today, to ones that were in office as early as 20-30 years ago, they might look like monsters.

    I'd say JFK, Reagan, Eisenhower?

    Eisenhower is probably the most recent President that generally receives positive reviews from the vast majority of people.

    No. George W. Bush Jr. was a fantastic president though and no one can question that.

    Washington, he made the presidency what it is, refusing to be crowned king, stepping down at the end of his term are two big things.

    But if you look closer, Washington was a land speculator who bought huge tracts of land and sold it to immigrants. There was a lot of conflict of interest stuff, he declared war on the Indians, cleared the land, bought it for cheap and sold it to more immigrants.
