Favorite US President

[Spongebob]

When did this supposedly happen?

Wikipedia -- Newburgh letter

Now, what would have Donald Trump done?

OK, I didn't know about this letter but I was aware that some people wanted Washington to become king.  I'm not sure this constitutes and actual coup, given that only a rough form of government existed at the time, but that's a matter of debate I suppose.  What would Trump have done?  Well, nothing.  He would have already been king.  He would have declared himself king long before and possibly even ruler of all the Americas.  Of course he wouldn't have endangered himself in the war; we know that for sure.

I don't think I have a favorite president.  Am I supposed to have one?

I don't think you are supposed to have a favorite president.  I happen to but it isn't necessary.  I do enjoy discussing the topic and learning more about presidents.

Whoever mentioned Jefferson, I will give a big kudos there as well.  Certainly there's the slave children issue but aside from that, TJ was an extraordinary man with a strong appetite for knowledge.  I appreciate his many pursuits and his tendency to catalog information.  The fact that he enslaved his own children...that's pretty terrible.  And from what we know, these children and their mother were quite light skinned, enough so to allow them to live in white society after his death.
