He was most certainly a major badass. Why can't we have Presidents like him anymore?
He was a LIBERAL by <<cut>> standards. LOL
All the presidents were human with feet of clay. Even the founding father presidents. Teddy was a militarist and thought a good war builds character. Speak softly and carry a big stick and all that. All of them found out they werent god when elected. Govt always has been like herding cats and keeping the cats and dogs from fighting to the death.
I would say FDR was probably most influential president because of the times in which he was president. Could easily have gotten a fascist dictator during those times like the Germans got. Looking for any fancy grandiose promises of a better life and ending up scraping up the rubble. The <<cut>> could take a history lesson, but they have their blinders on and 'know better'... LOL

Reason: Read the forum rules. We don't discuss current politicians.
If having military experience, popular support, and surviving a gunshot is the test of the toughest US president, then Andrew Jackson did it before Theodore Roosevelt was born.
Even though I hated his imperialistic views (and I also didn't think much of his passion for hunting), TR is at the top of my list of favorite presidents. He really seemed to care about making life better for most people, he was the first POTUS to invite a black man to have dinner with him at the White House, and he fought the corruption of big business tycoons with as much passion as anything else -- plus he will have my everlasting appreciation for preserving so much of this beautiful country by such means as the Antiquities Act. And also, btw, he is also in the top ten of the most intelligent people who have ever become POTUS according to mostguesstimates.https://moneywise.com/life/entertain...iny-presidents
Sounds like you are in favor of changing the requirements for being US president to include having served in the military
whats wrong with that ? We all can do that.
