How long a list do you want?
- a racist son of a bitch
- an enemy of The Constitution of The United States of America
- a vile bigot who returned people fleeing Nazi Germany back to their ultimate demise
- an immoral, unfaithful husband
- an arrogant, irresponsible fool whose "spaghetti against the wall" dumbass economic ideas burden us to this day and into the future
- the only power-hungry wannabe dictator to EVER disregard Washington's example
- an (at best) useful fool for Stalin who established the conditions by which the US government became infested with communist spies
and on and on and on

Are you kidding?

No, given the time in our history and how we treated people of color as a society.
