He quietly fomented evil, being the good Quaker that he was, in addition to being a war monger. But he wasn’t 100% useless, like chump. I think he just wanted to fool some in the public square so that he could do his evil behind the scenes.

I think some portion of the Quaker heritage may have rubbed off. There was a very nasty streak in him, and he caused a lot of suffering for selfish reasons; and yet not so thoroughly reprehensible as St. Reagan (especially on environmental issues), let alone Trump.
