Was Franklin D. Roosevelt a Machiavellian leader?

Answer 1

No he was not one! Maybe next election though, but probably not.

Answer 2

While Franklin D. Roosevelt was a skilled politician and an influential leader, it is not accurate to label him as strictly Machiavellian. While he employed certain Machiavellian tactics, such as using deception when necessary, his leadership was rooted in democratic principles and a genuine concern for the welfare of the American people. He sought to create positive change and implemented policies to address the challenges of the Great Depression and World War II.
