No

A Federalist (although it seems almost blasphemous to put a party label on Washington), a Jeffersonian Republican and two Republicans, however it should be remembered that in their final runs for the White House, neither Lincoln nor TR did so under the Republican banner.  Any Democrats I would put up on Mount Rushmore if there were room?  Possibly Cleveland or Truman.  Democrats, of course, before they swapped colors in their traditional use of race hatred to whip up votes, traced their party’s ancestry to Thomas Jefferson:

Democrat is the party of the elite who have controlled it from the beginning. They look upon most Americans as inferior whose only purpose is to serve them, obey them and be thankful to them.

Truman? That very poor, not wealthy, man who dropped two A bombs on entire cities? Grover Cleveland seems to be a better candidate if a Democrat HAD to be added. There are several other Republican or Founding Father Presidents who would be better candidates than any Democrats, based on their GOOD contributions to the country.

Not FDR. He extended the Great Depression (like Osama’s handlers did the great recession) displacing one set of oligarchs and replacing it with another, more insidious, set of oligarchs with relatively unlimited power.

Anyhow, that was like a hundred years ago, ya know.

Footnote: Saw on History channel a guy say the US is an elected republic and if Truman allowed the invasion of Japan to go in and up to 1,000,000 (up to 100,000 dead) US casualties and then the voters found out he had the BOMB . . .

who dropped two A bombs on entire cities?

Among other good things that he did.

Some other good things: sleeping next to your nuclear fish so that you can launch on moments notice, sleeping or awake.

Yes, my old sleep quarters on the JAX (the Old Bone as we affectionately called her) – I got a foam mattress right next to a deuterium-tritium tipped weapon. No hot racking for me! Just hot sleeping! Ha! Ha! Ha! 😀 (Actually, you couldn’t detect the radiation outside the weapon’s casing; perfectly safe except of course for the enemy.)

I hope this comment send some liberal troll into an epileptic fit. May God bless the United States of America, and anathematize both President Biden and Jorge Bergoglio.

He extended the Great Depression

He didn’t, except in the trivial sense that anything but an optimal policy mix will render the recovery longer than it would be with optimal policy. Optimal policy is not common in governments run by human beings.

Most occidental countries reached their economic nadir in 1932, some in 1933, and a couple in 1934. See who had the most rapid growth rate from their economic nadir to 1939. The United States was near the top of the list so ranked.
