Like below #30? For real? Because the great depression happened right after him? That shit was going for ten years under FDR and they all suck his dick

historians tend to not like hands-off presidents who don't really do anything

They probably blame him for the Wilson era policy of extracting as much wealth out of Germany as possible ultimately leading to their economic collapse and the great depression.

He was pro-german and tried to fix the war debt and reparations issue

Basically what our supposed allies were doing was instead of paying the US back for the war, was pointing at Germany and saying that since Germany owed them money they didn't have to pay the US back. The US was forced to inject liquidity into the German economy so they could pay their debts so that other countries would continue paying back the US.

The UK and France sought to completely cancel their war debts to the US and put all the obligations on Germany

Didn't TR and Cleveland have the same position during disasters? It was a normal position of the time. The federal gov was willing to help but not at the expense of other states

>>17870805
Cleveland declined to provide seeds for a drought stricken area of Texas as it was only a $15,000 appropriation and he saw no reason that money could not be raised through private charity.

They were right btw there has never been a single natural disaster that FEMA did anything useful to help.

>>17870805
Yeah and both were seen as evil and retarded for it

Coolidge was also connected to the Harding administration which was just caught smuggling alcohol into the US to pay for Republican party expenses.

What people don't understand is that smuggling is probably what paid for parties around this time, that's why control of major ports like NYC were so important.

After Prohibition hundreds of millions of dollars started pouring into the democrat party which they used to spread their tendrils across the US buying off politicians even in the deep south which lead to the current global order

they're separate enough ideas

>>17870819
Dang he was connected to the administration that worked to get us out of foreign entanglements, lifted government restrictions on business, and dropped unemployment by 7%? All in two years? That's crazy dude. How horrible

As others said historians generally don't like hands-off presidents they like guys like FDR that are soft dictators.

>>17870832
I'm sure all the democrats focused on was the teapot dome scandal while literally letting their party and cities be taken over by foreign mobsters

What say, Harding was also unfairly slimed simply because the Eastern media establishment didn't like him.

I always love how history teachers love to cite the Alice Roosevelt Longworth quote about him being a slob. Like, damn, the massive whore with daddy issues called him a slob? That can't be... it's over, hardingbros
