Where do you rankPolk? An interesting (polarizing) cat-
He generally ranks top 10-12. As much as anyone, beside Jefferson and the Louisiana Purchase, he was responsible for "Manifest Destiny". During his term the US acquired (or you can say "gained by conquest) Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, Utah, California, most of Nevada.

I think Mexico might argue that he was our first president to steal land with a fake war. They would rate him as our worst neighboring president ever. Verdad!?

Well, when you lose, you lose, bitches. Mexico had already lost Texas and California to internal revolutions....even if they did not accept those situations. Both were independent republics when they elected to join the USA. The US could have actually acquired more if they had a mind to....all the way down to Mexico City. We could have annexed practically the entire east coast of Mexico down to Veracruz if we had wanted.

With the title l thought this was going in a biblical direction. I’m pretty sure we’ve had no shortage of leaders to lead us through the wilderness for 40 years.

If we are talking about fictional historical people to lead the Browns out of this nightmare, I'll go with Gandalf.

Well.....even though you have used an oxymoron....I don't think that Gandalf fits the bill "fictional historical" character. I don't thing anyone has ever claimed that he was anything but fictional.
Moses....maybe, King Arthur maybe; Robin Hood maybe; Homer maybe; Sun Tzu; And lots of other biblical characters from Adam to Moses to King David.

A fictional character from a past age, ok?

Well, of course, when you are dealing with a purely fictional universe, you don't know if it is a past age or not, right? I mean, who knows when epics like The Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones take place in terms of Earth times? They could be far, far into our future, for all we know, fair to say?
Of course Star Wars says it takes place long, long ago in a galaxy far away. But it obviously seems futuristic.
