In my opinion, the best president post WWII, not even a contest. His genius creation of the interstate highway system is something we still use to this day. Love his stance on the military, no president since has kept us from being the world's police in one way or another. Led the most economically prosperous time in our history. Middle class thrived during that period. We need you back Ike!
Andrew Bailey He won’t ever come back, someone like Ike will never be brought back.m
Eisenhower favored the Interstate highway system,over the expansion of railroads .
I vote almost exclusively democrat, even I would vote for Ike. I respect those who lead from the front, so does America. All of the social problems we're having today would get solved quick under Ike.
I totally agree.
Dwight's Eisenhower was a republican.
The greatest lesson here, progressive and conservative ideas working together. He kept the programs of the new deal's era, completed the interstate highway, not to mention, he was an amazing general and respected FDR...true conservative.
He wasent much of a conservative tho, he expanded all the social programs like social security, started a parlament for education and welfare, build infrastructure, was against big military and even warned America about it, nothing he did was conservative this was back when it was all about policies, now it's either left or right and more like a sports event than actual genuine voting process, people stick to what ever side they are on despite them disagreeing with most of the policies.
Juuk Conservatives agreed with Eisenhower on most things back then, so no. Your wrong.
A true conservative has principles that are not at ALL in conflict to progressive ones. Eisenhower understood this. Now, I think, to your comment of juuk conservatives (my understanding of that) is, he dealt with and battled or sometimes agreed with, so yes, you would be right in some regard. Keep in mind this is the time of McCarthy, Prescott Bush and the young Neocon class of Nixon among others, who transformed the Republican party and conservative philosophy. So true conservatives in the context of policy, whether fiscal, judicial, trade, or even social are pretty much gone, shunned, none existing. Thanks. Very best.
It's because the political spectrum has shifted more to the right in recent decade. Eisenhower is practically to the right of all republicans and most democrats. What was generally considered conservative in the 50s wouldn't be considered conservative today.
@@juuk3103 so a conservative?
Dwight Eisenhower was a good president.

Subversive Jewish propaganda.
The Morgenthauplan is one of history's worst genocide, preformed by the Swedish Jew Dwight D. Eisenhower and Henry Morgenthau. Thomas Goodrich Hellstorm gives a more truthful historical writing about WW2 and D.D.E posthumous reparation.
Peter Lundqvist you couldn’t be a bigger fool
@@tjh2105 you have been brainwashed by the Khazarian mafia, or you are one of them.
Unfortunately, He was the only Republican president I liked
Wow. Only in the 20th century will you find *four* great presidents in a row. FDR, Truman, Eisenhower and JFK. The 20th century was my favorite because it was so interesting and eventful. America's most important.
4 great president in a row with Truman and FDR
FDR,Harry Truman,Ronald Reagen and Dwight D. Eisenhower.
FDR? Theodore Roosevelt?
@Jim Marcum Add Trump to that list. If anything, he's way worse
Truman was very weak
I have liberal and conservative views, but I also have immense respect for President Eisenhower. Especially what he said and warned us about the Military Industrial Complex.
Nicholas Lindsey He was a true General, he didn’t just warn his military people of it. He warned the people.
President Trump called out the Military Industrial Complex on twitter just a couple days ago.
If anything he made the Complex and well it is nowhere near the best part of his Presidency. Most people agree, even liberals like Bill Clinton, that he was an above-average President.
He was a criminal and not even a military.
How wonderful would it be if we have more Republicans like Eisenhower and more Democrats like JFK?
Eishenhower would be called a communist by most republicans today
mykl Fan And JFK like Democrats would be called as radicals these days by the DNC itself.
@@myklfan9738 How dumb must you be to believe that? He was conservative, texan and reduce taxes. How is tax reduction communism?
The only thing that differ him from modern republicans is he didn't repeal the new deals, not because he like them its just that they were popular at that time.
@@a_man8386 He wouldn't be called communist but he would be called a RINO. He was the last moderate/liberal republican.
You are 1/2 right.
I think Eisenhower is a bit of an underrated president. He got us out of Korea, halted unneeded troops in Vietnam while the French were fighting for control. He helped keep American peace when there was not needed to be conflict, while also being a former general during WW2. He developed the interstate highway system too.
Eisenhower was underrated and one of our greatest POTUS
You know, this video may be only 3:45 in duration but it felt so much longer. Well done!
it's like Lincoln's speech in Massachussets, where his cabinet memeber used 2 hours, but he used 2 minutes, it feels longer and more powerful.
I was just doing some cursory reading of his bio today and my heart was sore at the fact that I wasn't alive during his time. What a great great individual.
I liked Ike!
Why do your love a mass murderer?
Peter Lundqvist you couldn’t be a bigger fool
@@peterlundqvist6796 I think you're mistaking him for Truman
whoever disliked was a soviet soldier with bad eye sight and missed the like button.
80 more years imagine how much can happen
This rlly helped me with my project on him ty!
you’re welcome
He is also responsible for establishing Sister Cities International :)
Dwight D. Eisenhower was on my great grandmother’s side and he was my ancestor
A pretty nice flex to say I am related to Eisenhower from norway😍❤️
You're related to the best Republican president America has had in a long time.
We need more leaders like Pres. Ike.
While I'm more in line with Taft/Goldwater and Eisenhower made some grave mistakes as president (mostly foreign policy), he was overall a good POTUS that returned us to normalcy after the horrors of WW2.
If only America had him now.
Thats not a biography tho. They are just talking about how good he was.
Thank you from germany. God bless America
God bless you
@@michaelaluna7684 Thank you so much.
His last name sounds German
Peace through strength. Big DON!
The Domino Theory was introduced during that time and his quote about international politics " beware of military industrial complex" which was a genuine concern that everyone with common sense had to agree
That was very informative 🙏♥️🇺🇲🥲
Dwight D Eisenhower was a really kind president... and he had been always nice to other people. He always commands personal respect.
My favorite president ever. ❤️ He’s the reason why I’m a republican. I want the USA to be recreated in his image.
The republicans are nothing like he was now
I saw his house in Newport
Respects to, Sr Eisenhower
First US President to visit Independent India. 🇮🇳
If republicans were still like Ike, I’d vote republican.
long gone. He would be left of both party's.
Even though there isn't anything in the Constitution about them.
@@onomatopoeia162003 He is not left of both parties, also the democrats are really left, and if anything was more conservative in many ways.
@@johnnotrealname8168 He would have been called radical socialists marxists today by Republicans today. He supported the minimum minimum wage, student loans and a high tax rate on the wealthy...
@@hnys7976 No he would not. He certainly would be called a moderate, in the sense he was left-wing for the party even then (The Republicans opposed many of those things back then.). Not sure anyone really opposes student loans. As for that high tax rate it was 90% but pretty much no-one paid it, it was also reduced by Johnson/Kennedy. He certainly would not be called all that but indeed he is centre-left on economic matters, though he really did not care for domestic matters, bearing in mind back then that meant really mild things compared to today but centre-right on social matters.
Well then, I guess you'd be alright with a President personally leading the nation in prayer to God, because he literally did just that at his inauguration.
Such an underrated president
Great President! I was in ahh of him as a small child.

Eisenhower was the greatest Republican president next to Abraham Lincoln!
He was definitely the last good, decent Republican president that this country has had. After him, The Republican presidents have just been awful and super corrupt.
Ike was among the three best presidents of 20th century: Eisenhower, Reagan, and Coolidge. Wish American had another leader like Ike today.
I live where he lived edit: the city
Can I use this video for educational purpose?
The best president ever!
A good example of a gigachad
He represented a new and hopeful turning point when freedom,prosperity,technolgogy and democracy really seemed the way of the future,
p8ently obvious but he was against civil rights
@@hasantariq869 I wonder how accurate that "against civil rights" phrasing is, though. Granted, he was purportedly against *legislating" civil rights, at least early in his presidency. However, at the very least, his understanding of the need had shifted later, at least from 1957 on. He sent Congress the proposal for the bill that became the Civil Rights Act of 1957... which he signed. He arguably inspired the Civil Rights Act of 1960, which he also signed. (Though yes, that got watered down by Congress - mostly Dixie Democrats? - on the way to being signed.) For me, the phrase "against civil rights" conjures up the image of, say, someone like George Wallace, Lester Maddox, etc... rather than someone who was admittedly late to the game in supporting related (and necessary) legislation.
@@patricksweeney6334 I've actually read transcripts from a number of Eisenhower's speeches, and he actually denounced segregation and racism from his first months in office onward, even telling Congress in 1953 that America's immigration quotas had to be changed to get rid of what he felt was clear racial discrimination. However, he believed that some of it would be FAR more effective if handled by the states (also, he may have had legitimate concerns that the Supreme Court and judiciary would strike down a federal civil rights law that banned segregation, as horrifically this HAD happened in the 1880s). From what I've researched and read, Ike's ORIGINAL civil rights strategy was a three-pronged effort as follows: 1) Use federal power (legislatively or preferably executively) to forcefully desegregate the federal government, any remaining parts of the military and all areas that were under federal jurisdiction (which at the time included much of the city of Washington, DC). 2) Collaborate with state and local governments to get civil rights measures enacted ASAP, coordinate these efforts, and get cooperating state leaderships to help pressure other states who resisted racial integration into submitting. 3) Appeal to the public conscience with help of public figures and religious leaders to shift opinion where needed and accelerate a (hopefully) smoother and more natural integration of society.
In many ways, this was NOT really a bad strategy, and a number of states during Ike's first several years in office DID enact various state level civil rights acts (among others in this group were Michigan, Colorado, New Mexico and Oregon) and several major cities even passed ordinances aimed at stopping employment discrimination. However, it would prove to be not as effective in much of the Jim Crow South apart from perhaps Texas, and unfortunately this is where it was needed most by minorities (I believe Martin Luther King quipped that Eisenhower's strategy was well-meaning, but inadequate because of this). Eventually, Ike realized that he had no choice but to at least attempt to try more aggressive direct federal action, and we saw this during his second term when he forced Little Rock to integrate their schools and signed the Civil Rights Acts of 1957 and 1960. However, Eisenhower's administration faced hostility in Congress from Democrats (much to his fury, LBJ and the Dems watered down his desired 1957 CRA) and unprecedented obstruction by segregationists in the South (after Little Rock, at least a number of southern states for example passed laws that allowed governors to shut down public schools if the federal government tried to forcibly integrate them). I'm not saying that Ike was perfect on civil rights, but he was MUCH stronger than people give him credit for, and IMO he was actually better than Truman or even Kennedy honestly. He was stuck in a horrible situation where there were few if any good/quick answers.
, Came to Canal Zone Panama to raise both countries flags as a sign of partnership, and friendship, with Roberto Chiari, Panamenian president. A retired Armforced polite General.

He made Roads
0:13 how do you put gentle and tough in the same sentence?
Think of it:
Nice guy that won't get knocked over
Here because of the movie QUEZONS GAME
Let’s get Bizzay
social welfare, highways, getting out of wars, behind the scenes, understand American people need for stability.
He was the moderate that we need now. He was more to the right than me but if someone like him was around today, I would probably vote for him.
One of the greatest if not the greatest American ever
Lincoln better
Eisenhower fought in wars and adviced Kennedy on the Cuban Missìle Crisis.
When was the last time we updated our infrastructure?
Eisenhower defeated us, why is this not mentioned?
I Like Ike❤️❤️❤️
Not even 4 minutes. Anyone watching tips for longer biopic?
On his 'foreign policy' - tried to overthrow Syria (Barac destined to follow suite); overthrew Guatemala and Iran, played a role in the eventual murder of African premier Patrice Lumumba over resources ushering decades of brutal rule in his nation.
Al Bundy approves this biography.
we need another general as president
Pomyśleć że teraz będzie na płycie quebo...
He never fought a single battle
Gotta love Ike
He killed Lumumba. The epitome of American greed.
...The Republican campaign slogan in 1952 was a pithy "I like Ike" Eisenhower, a hands-off President, had a near universal appeal as everybody's grandfather. For example, he once observed, "Things are more like they are now than they were before." At the time a story made the rounds that Roosevelt, who got reelected three times, was proof that in America one could be President, while Eisenhower was proof that the country didn't really need a President....
This was one of the last great Presidents of our currently declination nation
Hands down the greatest president alongside Washington and Lincoln!
Nasa / Color Tv and Much more
Dwight D. Eisenhower was with Churchill te greates man in the 20 th century
Love the way liberal historians have to qualify their statements that he was not "really" a conservative in order to compliment him.
Who else here after Family Guy 😂 How Lois not even old woman yet? 😂
What
Believe it or not, but I’m related to Eisenhower’s wife, mamie.
That's cool
why are they trying to make him sound like a liberal modern californian, just because he has different opinions doesn't mean you have to twist historical reality.
LET'S GET BIZZAY!
Esenhower good président and to mutch expérience military '' good
Commander '' free europa for nazy ''...
34. Eisenhower
god bless
Why not refer to him like a good father instead of an uncle?
Expanded the new deal...he saw the value of good policy and the benefit to the nation...country before party
Have mixed opinions about this president
Mixed? Mate, I think if you went back to 1955 or even 1985 you’d be hard pressed to find someone who didn’t like Eisenhower

just looked "Eisenhower's mother was said to be of mixed blood from Africa and mulatto. This claim seems to be ultimately based on nothing more than her appearance on a 1885 wedding photograph. Historians and biographers of Eisenhower had documented his parents' German, Swiss and English ancestry and long history in America." FROM GOOGLE So not exactly
No.
whoever came here to find out who this president was because of "everyone hates Chris"??😄😄
Republicans or Democrats are that time the coin flip after the civil rights bill was changed
One of the best republicans
Bro, COUGH
How much of his actions were his own and how many controllers were directing his moves?
What?
@@Dalton_stuff yes his controllers made him do very dark and evil decisions
He was a 5 star General before he was The President. Im sure he thought 5 steps ahead before any average Joe
The last Republican president to balance the budget if I recall correctly
TH.OLSO.NISE.PARSEND.US.1950.S.Y....E.
He was always crying about fake news and blaming the previous administration.
Eisenhower was one of the best presidents ever, taxing the rich at 90% was a smart move, the economy boomed. The presidents of today aren't smart enough to figure this out.
Sam Hammel though 5 people paid a 90% tax in total the rich paid less in taxes than they do today. For example when Obama was president the top tax rate was about 40% the rich ended up paying 90% of all taxes in total. So your point is that when the rich pay less taxes the economy is better :)
@@someedgyaccount3589 The economy is not better because of inflation, peoples incomes are not keeping up with inflation. The rich don't care about inflation!
@@tesla416 you're someone who gets it.
