Let's make this meme more accurate, shall we?

Kennedy: Imperialism, use the presidency to get laid
Johnson: Imperialism and expansion of social safety net
Nixon: Imperialism and a one-party state (But oddly gave us the EPA)
Reagan: Make the rich wealthier, destroy unions, kill the gays
Bush: Imperialism, making the rich wealthier and destroying unions
Clinton: Imperialism, increase corporate power under the guise of 'free trade', suppress the gays
Bush II: Imperialism, make the rich wealthier, eliminate the right to privacy, militarize the cops
Obama: Imperialism, make the rich wealthier, make health care more expensive, militarize the cops
Trump: Imperialism (though oddly less so), make the rich wealthier, militarize the cops
Biden: Imperialism, make the rich wealthier, militarize the cops, ignore food becoming cost-prohibitive
Trump II: Destroy everything, make the rich even wealthier, especially himself

You're missing "brazen, bold-faced racketeering and sedition, stuff the judiciary" under trump 1. Also, saying that Obama's "goal" was to make healthcare more expensive smells like bullshit. Let's see some sources on that. Flawed and imperialistic though he may be, Obama put a good faith effort into taking the first step toward a socialized healthcare system, and was completely hamstrung by obstructionism. Finally, you need to put "subvert soviet imperialism, fuck over puerto rico, and engage in international scientific dick-sizing contests" under Kennedy. Other than that, and the fact that you skipped a few presidents in there (like "Carter: Try (and fail) to balance being a good human being with being the head of a jingoistic imperialist nation in the middle of a dick-sizing game of Connect4 where the countries of the world are the playing field and refusal to play could mean nuclear annihilation"), no further notes.

Oh, you're right. Let's fix that.

Carter: Imperialism, general failure.

I will give Carter this much, though. He definitely had the best post-presidency.

Also, no. For all his pretty speeches, Obama didn't make a good-faith effort to do anything except expand the war machine both internationally and domestically, make rich people wealthier, and expand the power of the presidency. (Hell, remember the 'Kill List'?)

If you are an American, American economic imperialism is in your best interest.
