He was the richest man in Earths history and went on a pilgrimage to Mecca just giving out gold. A super rich guy just frivolously throwing chucks of gold at a crowd is the epitome of cool.

I see a distinct lack of my own name on this supposed list of yours, son.

I could slap the shit out of any of those jokers.

You didn't become President, Eisenhower did.

Imperator Gaius Marcus Aurelius.

Loved despot of the old Roman Empire, and for all the crap he had to put up with, he was pretty well-composed, kept away from corruption and carried out his duty well.

"Who was the coolest american president or historical leader than you can think of?"
Cyrus the Great from Ancient Persia, his equality in social policies was way ahead of his day. I know that might not sound "cool" to most people, but to me being 1000s of years ahead of your time is really cool.

"How cool can a leader be?"
The coolest a leader COULD be as opposed to HAS been is being a Quilava, because face it, Quilavas are the definition of cool.

I am very far left-wing socially and economically in between capitalism and communism.
I'm sort of a "Radical Centrist", I guess. I support the Australian Green Party most out of any political party, though I don't fully agree with anyone.
Quilava is by far my favourite pokemon as it is cute and badass at the same time and has a fire mohawk!
