Dulles was the type Eisenhower was referring to in his farewell speech warning.
This one and ‘Bombs Away’ Lemay just loved to bomb the carp out of the cities and paved the way for today’s air force to continue same policies.
Eisenhower is a far under rated President: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidency_of_Dwight_D._Eisenhower
We had one of the more prosperous times (jobs, rising incomes, low inflation, growth in manufacturing), the WWII recovery of Europe, our military was powerful, he gave us the national highway system, and did much for civil rights (people forget that).
When he did have a recession spring on him, he and his administration handled it well and its impact was small: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recession_of_1958
Many of his “infrastructure” projects (unlike this bucket of lies riddled with pork today) we are STILL benefiting from: rural electrification, highways.
He wasn’t a loud mouth, his words were very measured and well thought out. He was a true “strategic thinker” (big picture, long term). He didn’t belong to some special demographic (gay, black, woman, Latino) which seems to be all important today. I think that is why his presidency, although very successful, is forgotten in time.
