History is literally one of the most useless and boring subjects there are, almost as useless as politics even.
Ford was one of the best Presidents the U.S. has ever had, never mind just in comparison to Carter. Carter was shit.

Ford was a good President because he managed to take over from Nixon and the Watergate Scandal and keep the government going, despite the prevailing stagflation.
