Truman: Foreign (Both were very good but he had more accomplishments in the foreign policy arena)
Eisenhower: Domestic (Despite his "military industrial complex" speech, Ike's FP involved CIA coups and the ultra hawkish Dulles as Secretary of State)
Kennedy: Domestic
Johnson: Domestic
Nixon: Domestic
Ford: Domestic
Carter: Domestic (His response to the Gwangju democratization movement seals the deal here)
Reagan: Foreign
Bush Sr.: Foreign
Clinton: Domestic
Bush Jr.: Domestic
Obama: Domestic
Trump: Foreign (Huh?)
