But there's no proof. It could just as easily be a graph or a movie or a defaced picture of Hillary or ****ing anything on the screen. That takes ultra-lame to new lows. Also, why is Trump labelled as "failed steak tycoon" when, love him or hate him, he is obviously a very successful real estate tycoon?

Because he had a steak business that failed.

Of course it's not an exact science. Although, I will say FDR is an unfair comparison - he got us out of the Depression AND a world war. People were pretty happy with the way he did things.

Yeah but it ignores the fact that his other businesses were successful. It's just annoying. You can fail at this but be wildly successful at that. Do people then remember you for when you failed at this or when you made it at that?

Bitter partisan political memes are rarely thesis-level social commentary.

I would've given Chula **** for it but he acknowledged that it's lame so he gets a pass on this one.

If it took a person twelve years to save someone drowning in quicksand would you consider that an achievement too?

"FDR got us out of ... a world war." He died more than three weeks before Germany's surrender. So why exactly are you bestowing FDR with this posthumous achievement award?

I'm assuming he's saying FDR helped the US win the war, which really is something you can't deny, though it was Truman who dropped the bomb.

And let's not forget that Republican president Herbert Hoover did not get us out of the Great Depression. But that's potentially meaningless just as tiger-repellant rocks are not proof of repelling tigers.
