FDR wanted to -- and did -- imprison tens of thousands of US citizens with no probable cause, no trial, no evidence of any criminality whatsoever. He imprisoned them because of their national origin. He was the ultimate racist.
He firebombed and killed hundreds of thousands of civilians to wage a war of terror. He was the ultimate terrorist, the absolute worst President in American history.
Just follow the blue.

Extra hint: sort by aggregate ranking.
Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus and presided over one of the bloodiest wars of all time.
Those poor Japanese. Just living peacefully in Japan not bothering anyone and the big bad U.S. comes in and firebombs the country. I'm going to go and buy a Toyota to make up for my feelings of guilt.

TOKYO — For decades, Teruo Kanoh never revealed the terror locked in his heart the night in 1945 when American bombs turned Tokyo into a raging fireball. Then, three years ago, he slowly began releasing his demons in oil and watercolor.
In his vivid, unsparing paintings, U.S. warplanes shower the sky with rivulets of fire, and thousands of corpses — many of them women and children — clot Tokyo's main river. In one piece, flaming victims plummet in agony from a burning bridge.
The paintings are a gripping testament to the destruction as Japan prepares to mark the 60th anniversary this week of the March 9-10, 1945, air raid that killed an estimated 100,000 people in a single night of fire.
"Civilians are defenseless, and this is what it is like when they are killed," said Kanoh, who was 14 at the time and lost both parents and two younger sisters. "I want young people who haven't known war to think about this."
The Tokyo firebombing has long been overshadowed by the U.S. atomic attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki which preceded the Japanese surrender that ended World War II the following August. But the burning of the capital, which resulted in more immediate deaths than either of the nuclear bombings, stands as a horrifying landmark in the history of warfare on noncombatants.
The bombing of Tokyo, often referred to as a "firebombing", was conducted by the United States Army Air Forces during the Pacific campaigns of World War II. The U.S. mounted a small-scale raid on Tokyo in April 1942, with large morale effects. Strategic bombing and urban area bombing began in 1944 after the long-range B-29 Super Fortress bomber entered service, first employed from China and thereafter the Mariana Islands. B-29 raids from those islands commenced on November 17, 1944 and lasted until August 15, 1945, the day Japan capitulated.[1] The air raid of 9–10 March 1945 was one of the most destructive bombing raids in history.
