Match Gane style: “I want Trump to be another (blank).”

I’ll go with Charles Martel.

Ike: Like Clinton, is considered “something” only because he WAS LUCKY enough to be POTUS during a booming economy.

Bill Clinton was the luckiest SOB on the planet. There’s no other way to explain his Presidency.

I’ll second Charles Martel. Exactly what we need today. I worked on Eisenhower’s reelection campaign but have never been sold on the man. He was more of a politician than he was soldier and I’ll never forgive him for siding with Montgomery over Patton. In the end he sold Patton down the river and that cost thousands of American lives.

Harding and Charles Martel are good suggestions.

I’ll throw in, Francisco Franco.

Ike is probably the best (least bad) post-Coolidge President aside from Reagan. Which is kinda like being the tallest Oopma Loopma.

That "booming economy" had been flushed down the crapper by 1958 and that year's election results were the worst loss of the 20th Century for Republicans. By that election, the public realized that with Eisenhower, there was no there, there.

Charles Martel would be a great role model for President Trump.
