Depending on how the next four years go I'm on the fence between Bush Jr. and Trump but I'd like to hear from you

If we’re talking strictly the neoliberal era would it be too out there to say 1. Bush Jr 2. Reagan 3. Biden? All time though probably Andrew Jackson

While i abhor Bush Jr, I would put Reagan as #1. He paved the way for Bush Jr. And Biden. IMO Bush Sr is tied for the #3 spot simply for pardoning members of the Iran-Contra affair.

Nixon is one of the worst presidents we've ever had though, and I would put him higher than any of the others. The "war on drugs" caused so many rippling horrors domestically. And those horrors don't compare to what he did abroad.

Wilson and Nixon are definitely up there with Jackson too
