Theodore Roosevelt. He set aside millions of acres of public land as national parks, monuments, etc. Expansion of the Navy. Rode a Moose.

He also wore cool glasses and had a bad ass mustache.

George Washington hands down, especially for some of the more critical points in his farewell address…points and tips that literally no one listened too…

Teddy seemed cool and I liked Bush Jr

Man, this is a difficult question. Definitely not Lincoln. Not a fan of Tyrants. I think Nixon was hilarious, but his acceptance of Henry Kissinger's plan to bring Communist China into the fold, modernize them, as a weapon against Russia has led us to the mass outsourcing of today, so not really a fan there either. Raegan failed to resign from office when his brain went tits up, and his crazy wife ruled in all but name nearly tyrant style as well.

Maybe Coolidge? I don't know. It's just hard to say. Obama was shit and his active attempt to socialize our healthcare has skyrocketed healthcare costs for the working age, and far from minimalizing outsourcing as he claimed, he instead provided further tax incentives and amplified it. Trump was decent enough, but he was too busy playing by the rules Democrats claimed he had to play by, when they don't play by those rules themselves, to get a lot done. Bush was a warmongering globalist cuck and can fuck right off. GHWB was better than his son, and honestly was decent, but "greatest"? Nah. Clinton's primary claim to fame was not debt spending, but that was due more to Gingrich cockblocking him.

I dunno. Most presidents are terrible, and most of their actions hurt Americans far more than they help. Perhaps the best answer is this:

Slavery was on it's natural way out. Lincoln's goals had nothing to do with ending slavery and everything to do with preserving the Union. Lincoln said straight out if there'd been a way to preserve the union without freeing the slaves that he would have, and that he thought blacks were inferior to whites.

I'm not pro-slavery. I'm anti-Tyrant, and Lincoln pretty much suspended the Constitution for the duration of his war. You know, the Constitution, aka the Law of the Land in the United Stated? Tyrant.
