About the only positive thing I'm willing to say about FDR is that he appointed Ike.

I have nothing good to say about FDR.

He was Stalin without the skill and opportunity.

Re: FDR and "Ike"

See "The Cardinal Spellman Story" by Robert I. Gannon, S.J., Doubleday & Company, New York, 1962.

Chapter 14, "President Roosevelt", pages 222-248.

Years before Yalta and Ike's "Operation Keelhaul" ...

Thought experiment: Imagine if Donald Trump had the skill to wield the powers of the office that FDR possessed.

Ike was a disastrous President. He did nothing to drastically shrink the massive Socialist state of FDR/Truman or to purge the equally massive Communist infiltration of the government and culture. He then handed the country over to JFK/LBJ on a silver platter that has sent us downhill ever since (with a brief break during Reagan).

This country needed Patton and/or MacArthur to serve in the White House and to do what needed to be done.

Well, FDR worked very hard to prepare us for war in spite of the opposition of the pacifists in his own party. He did all he could to keep the UK afloat through Lend Lease and other means in spite of opposition in Congress. He started the draft in spite of opposition of his Secretary of War. When the war started, he worked with capitalist and even brought them into his government through, for example, the “Dollar a Year” program. He was a good war leader. He chucked Henry Wallace and picked HST as vice president just in time.
