Name a good US president

Carter. That's why they changed the rules so we couldn't get another one like him.

What rules are these?

The DNC changed their rules to make it harder to get on the primary if they didn't like you. It's difficult finding the timeline of DNC rules, so take that with a grain of salt.

I'm assuming those were put in to exclude one particularly popular leader with a good track record.

With the premise thqt being a good president =/= being a good person: Washington Adams Jefferson Lincoln FDR Wilson Carter Sorta LBJ as long as you don't think he was involved in JFK death And phucket Obom'ner, you have to admit he was nationally gridlocked but it was a much better time for America plus Obamacare saved and improved lives

George Washington?

Slave owner

If you're going to apply modern standards, there are no good people in most of human history.

That's correct, were all trash 🤗 further, I'm pretty sure his slaves didn't appreciate being slaves even at that time....

They did not. But did having them automatically make him an irredeemably bad person by the standards of the time? Life is more complex than that.
