FDR

I was reading about the Great Depression and one statement caught my eye. The writer said that FDR was the most loved and most hated President since Abraham Lincoln. I then added that Donald Trump is the most loved and most hated President since FDR. The Roosevelt's were a very wealthy family and FDR's mother assumed he would live his life as a country squire like his father but that is not what happened. He wanted to contribute to the country so he became a state senator from New York. Later he was appointed as Secretary of the Navy and then on to be president. He could have spent a life of luxury living easy but he chose instead to serve his country. Trump could have spent his retirement years living the good live but he chose instead to run for president. Two very different men in most respects but similar in their desire to be president.
