Who was/is the best leader in your nations history?

Triggers both Ukrainians and germans

Limiting it to people who *did* become president

Not Fraser, Keating or Menzies?

not the leader of a nation, but he's the leader of my heart

This guy japed the nazis by signing a treaty with them after he resigned from the presidency so it wasn't official, was put on war trial, got sentenced all to support the peace with Stalin's Soviet Union. badass dude taking the bullet.

Debatable desu. I'd go with Jefferson over Washington, although Washington did set most of the precedents for sitting presidents Jefferson:
> Was the primary writer for the Declaration of Independence.
>Established the idea of religious freedom in the VA Statute for Religious Freedom which was later reflected in the 1st amendment.
>Believed a large standing army was a potential menace to the people during a time when it was still plausible to call up militia in time to repel an invasion.
>Actively seeked to protect the power of the states and therefore the people from an overbearing national government.
>Doubled the size of the nation with the Louisiana Purchase.
>Made considerable gains towards paying off the national debt. (Jackson paid it off in 1835)
>The fruits of his labor can be felt to this day through the work of the University of Virginia which he founded in 1819.

Strangely enough, of the Virginia planters who were part of the founding fathers, only Washington died a rich man.

willy brandt wins.

Now there's some good b8

I hate Trudeau Sr. (quebec guy here), but he built modern canada.

It's between him and Truman.

Alfred the Great is basically the real life King Arthur. Sad that he isn't really famous in Britain.

Both were redpilled as fuck.

Remember how Truman called Jew York City 'kiketown'?

No competition

Isn't that the guy who kept showing up drunk in public

Yeah and despite always being drunk he was still the greatest Prime Minister

Loans affair.

Easily this guy and 100% deserves "The Great" title.

Catherine """"""""The Great"""""""" needs not apply.

It was the wrong decision to join the two post 9/11 wars- particularly the Iraq war, when there was no evidence whatsoever for WMDs. Still, I suppose I have to give him credit for giving us the last stable Australian government, despite the fact that the instability was probably partly his doing.
