RE: Presidents and What They Say: Does It Matter?

OMG, I would have never guessed you are so old.

Excellent analysis, I expected nothing less from an intelligent American. I note that there is a statistically significant schewing of the distribution of GOOD presidents in the past 7 decades. In another analysis I read, it was pointed out that Trump's model president seems to be McKinley. Curious where does McKinley stand in this ranking?

We are entering an era of bug upheavals, sleepwalking toward an unbalanced geopolitical situation like we had at the beginning of the XXth century. What would you say are the chances that we avoid 3rd world war a decade or so from now ?

I know. I'm shocked also

Thank you.

On the first ranking source Mckinly ranks 25. On the second he ranks 22. BTW, he was assassinated and was replaced by VP Theodore Roosevelt. Trump admires both presidents, and both presidents were expansionists--which obviously Trump is seeking to emulate with his Greenland and Panama goals.

As for a third world war: war has a way of sneaking up on us. Although there are always actors who think they can benefit from war, nothing ever goes as planned. I have a granddaughter who is in her third year of college. I hope for her and everyone else in the world, peace. I don't have much confidence, though.

Let's hope history is not prologue. If it is, we are all in trouble.

Thanks for that most interesting feedback.

On a more serious note, I updated my comment after reading your post in full. 😄

I see...😇
