1. FDR based president 2. Reagan 666 3. Nixon end of the GOLD STANDARD, architect of the drug war (a way for him to criminalize blacks and hippies), kept vietnam going by scuttling a peace deal because it served his political interests 4. Johnson Great society (which ultimately failed) + vietnam (ditto) 5. Truman possibly the first person to truly understand the real effect of the atomic bomb (ie understood that they weren't just another weapon, and was willing to tell mcarthur to go gently caress himself when he suggested nuking korea), began the shift in us policy away from isolationism to interventionism, started racial integration in the armed forces

while i agree in a limited degree to the 'rubicon' nature of the trump presidency, i'm not sure that future historians will rate him personally as influential, because he's ultimately an object, not a subject of history his election is an expression of an ongoing historical process, and his own presidency so far as been him being just a figure head for the gop establishment to do what it wants. nothign he's advocated has been outside the gop mainstream, and he's shown neither an ability or willingness to commit to anything beyond his own ego

wilson is hated for federal reserve + proto un, but that's mostly based on right wing brain diseases, i don't think there's much of a class case for him
