Which President Is the Greatest of All Time?

Which American president was the greatest of all time? With Presidents Day on Feb. 20, this episode compares three iconic presidents—Washington, Lincoln, and Trump—in terms of their challenges and effectiveness in shaping the country. It’s no doubt that these men were put in power during crucial moments in American history. Washington led amid the birth of a new nation, Lincoln retained the unity of a fractured nation, and Trump defended the core of the nation against eroding outside influences. Each figure held firmly to beliefs of individual liberty, of faith and freedom as paramount to securing human rights, and retained a vision for America that would transcend their own time and affect generations to come. We don’t have a presidential awards ceremony, but we can look at our country over time, and spot where an indelible mark was left. Being a legend means that you affect not just your time, but periods thereafter.
