His presidency was bad to be sure, but he's arguably one of the greatest humanitarians ever. Saved millions from starvation in Europe during and after WWI and again after WWII.

I always say, if he'd never become president there'd probably be all sorts of philanthropy societies named after him.

Ran government like a business:

Hoover
Dubya
Komrade Kraznov

All three cratered the economy. And because of the clueless judgment of the public, Chump gets to do it twice.
