Once you come to realize that FDR took a wrecking ball to the U.S. Constitution — and would have done more damage to it had his Court-packing scheme succeeded — then your mind will totally be set free and you’ll realize that FDR should be at the bottom of the lists of greatest U.S. Presidents, not the top. The reason he’s at the top is that the academic rankers are leftists and they agree with the radical changes made to our Constitution during FDR’s overlong, nearly king-like reign. Lastly, because he allowed the State Department to become infested with communists like Alger Hiss, Yalta turned into a disaster and the Iron Curtain’s tyranny was blinked at and thus effectively ushered in. Truly a terrible President. The first part of your tweet is “conventional wisdom,” but it too is wrong and incomplete as to painting FDR as an utter American catastrophe. His sin was not just Japanese internment.
