Teddy the Tyrant - An Example for Our Pres?

Wouldn't be my first pick.

"According to H.L. Mencken – a first-hand, careful, and clear-eyed observer of the now-sainted Rough Rider – “Roosevelt, for all his fluent mastery of democratic counter-words, democratic gestures and all the rest of the armamentarium of the mob-master, had no such faith in his heart of hearts. He didn’t believe in democracy; he believed simply in government. His remedy for all the great pangs and longings of existence was not a dispersion of authority, but a hard concentration of authority. He was not in favor of unlimited experiment; he was in favor of a rigid control from above, a despotism of inspired prophets and policemen.”*"
