Where the fuck is Teddy, and why is FDR up that high?

>Where the fuck is Teddy
He's not in the top 3 because historians don't rank presidents on how 'badass' they think they were.
>why is FDR up that high
Because he was the most consequential president in US history, arguably the greatest politician in US history and not only did he reshape the social fabric of America with the New Deal in a way that no previous president could have dreamed of doing but also maneuvered the US into a position of being the greatest superpower that world had ever seen.

>maneuvered the US
He couldn't even maneuver himself

Lol Truman and Eisenhower had a lot more to do with America's dominant global position than FDR.
