Washington was the Presidential example who was essentially impossible to match. So revered by his fellow Founders and countrymen as to appear larger than life in all descriptions and depictions after the fact, most subsequent Presidents pale in comparison. Of course, Washington was also a slave owner, and was the architect of more than a few dubious land deals that circumvented the laws and of course, took advantage of Indigenous Folks for his own profit. Sighhh... even the best had their moments of Bad.
