Who was the most ambitious U.S. President of all time?

[Dave24]

Donald Trump wanting to go after Canada and Greenland has had me thinking about this issue. Which U.S. President do you consider the most ambitious of all time? Which U.S. President had the biggest combination of being power hungry along with wanting to remake America and the world at large according to their vision?

James K Polk.

James K Polk.

Good choice, I forgot about him

 

[RickyDiBiase]

Al Gore.

Country could've been in a much better and productive state. 9/11 wouldn't have happened, but we'd still be dealing with those b*stards over there in the ME

 

[Elim Garak]

Probably FDR imo.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Whichever ones they killed

 

[TEH]

Probably FDR imo.

I came to say the same thing.

 

[jerniebert]

I'll go with the one who was shot and killed.

 

[Don'tCallMeLuckyB]

Ulysses S. Grant can make a bytch do anything!

 

[Vandelay]

So many ways to answer that. They all were to an extent.

In principal and action, probably:

Jefferson
Jackson
T. Roosevelt
JFK

And if Trump pulls any one of these shenanigans off, probably him too.

Don't know too much about them all, but I did immediately think of JFK and how he and his little brother RFK thought they would be taking down the mafia without consequence.

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

FDR...Fukk Woodrow Wilson,tho

 

[The M.I.C.]

Why Woodrow Wilson is mentioned is beyond me.

Woodrow Wilson sold the country out to the bankers and then realized his tremendous error once he recognized he been tricked (World War I) after going into his second term.

 

[Child_Of_God]

FDR.
