4 Stars. His foreign policy had some serious issues like his overthrow of Mossadegh (no Ike, overthrowing a popularly elected prime minister and reinstating a brutal dictator will not work out in the long run),  but overall an extremely solid caretaker president.

...and he's going to beat FDR and Truman too. Joke forum.

"Other people disagree with my opinion so they are jokes".

4 stars for being better than Truman and the best post-WW2 president. He -

-Accurately warned the US about the military-industrial complex.
-Withdrew safely from Korea
-Took a very brave and principled stand on the Anglo-French-Israeli War of Aggression Suez Crisis. This was probably one of the last times the United States stood up in defense of the third world against blatant imperialism.



As I said before, he warned of it after building it up for 8 years

True, which makes it sad that he was still one of the few (only?) to talk about it.
