In my lifetime, JFK. Clinton and his wife did so much for our country. Jobs were great, people were getting off welfare and making a good life for themselves. Than, bam, Clinton ruined his legacy, because he could not keep his pants on. Life!!!
JFK, had his faults; but I think his love for our country, beat all. Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King, JFK, all taken from life way too soon.
But if I had to pick I would have to say Abe Lincoln.
It's interesting, Abe Lincoln ranks #1 on most historians lists of presidents because he kept the country together. Great guy, right? On the other hand he was responsible for 655,000 deaths and the Civil War.
Maybe the South should have just been allowed to secede, because slavery eventually would have died out anyway. Another generation or two or three, and it would have simply vanished.
Best president in my life has been Reagan, but Trump is giving him a run for his money, and we'll see where things are at in another 4 years.

This is true. Lincoln caused the deaths of more Americans than all the other presidents combined.
He also expanded the power of the federal government which has continued to expand ever since.
Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Reagan, and Trump are my favorites.
Wow. You have had a long lifetime! (But I agree with you.)
