        By the standards of US presidents it wasn’t even that bad. More White Man’s Burden than bounties for scalps.

        Granted, Teddy was an imperialist bastard. However, he had many good qualities - such as confronting the Trusts of his time, risking his own flesh and blood in battle, creating the national parks, and genuine loyalty to America.

        Ideally, this kid would embody the best traits of Teddy and ditch the nasty parts.

      Teddy also bathed nude in the Potomac in all weathers. Once he went with the French ambassador who insisted on keeping his gloves on in case they encountered any ladies.
