Like, him at the top is bullshit in of itself, and putting Jackson in the top is bullshit too. But, he put Grant in the shitbox. Grant: the man who literally won the Civil War for the Union. Fuck off with that!

*Edit: Linky

**Edit 2: Also, Hoover oversaw the start of the Great Depression. So, that wouldn’t make him average. Also, where’s JFK?

    Grant is one of the great ones. A humble man, with great leadership and knows his craft. Everything Trump isn’t. I will go out of my way to defend him.

      Grant was a good man, but his presidency should be viewed as pretty average. It didn’t help that he doesn’t have much control over his party.
