If weβre 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
Wilson and Nixon are definitely up there with Jackson too
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.
