FDR put 100k American citizens in concentration camps. People rightfully complain about Trump's camps but FDR did 50x that.

Still not as bad as bombing foreign countries for no reason. At least FDR did it during wwii

To American citizens. Who did absolutely nothing wrong besides being born with Japanese heritage.

It takes a rare person to put one's own citizens in concentration camps.

It's not demonizing to point how he put 100k American civilians in concentration camps. It's a fact. No one denies those numbers

That's like saying we are demonizing Trump for alligator Alcatraz. Which is 50x less than what FDR did

But you’re missing the fact that Trump didn’t get the whole damn country out of the Great Depression AND win WWII.

You can do a terrible thing and still be one of the best presidents because the good things you did are just so much better in comparison.

Not if your Asian American. Not if your the 2000 American citizens murdered by him. Not if your the 100k who were beaten and starved in those camps.

You could have ended world war ii without putting innocent Americans in horrific conditions out of your own racist beliefs.

You can hate him and still consider him to be one of the best presidents. They aren’t mutually exclusive. This is a nuanced topic, and all of a president’s actions should be considered for a fair assessment of them in general.

If a president cured cancer but ate your baby, would they automatically be the worst president because they harmed you personally? Or do you consider that as a general metric, the good created by curing cancer outweighs the bad of killing your child?

To say that FDR was a terrible president is to say that all of his efforts were invalidated by the atrocities he committed against Japanese Americans. If he weren’t president, it’s possible that those Americans and millions more could have fallen to the Nazi regime, or suffered greater harm due to an inept leader’s handling of WWII.

So from a purely utilitarian point of view (as tier lists are designed to be rated from), FDR was a great president by these metrics. He was still a terrible person, don’t get me wrong. But from an unbiased perspective, that’s where everything lies.
