Due to constitutional restraint and the balance of power, "feared" is not usually an adjective that applies to a US president , at least not in regard to citizens and friends of the United States. Enemies of the United States have had reason to fear the military might of the US and by projection, its President. During war time, Franklin Roosevelt was no doubt feared at times by the Germans and Harry Truman by the Japanese. Abraham Lincoln gave the Confederacy cause for fear.
Just the thought of Ronald Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative reportedly frightened the Russians into an expensive arms race which helped to break up the Soviet Union.
