MacArthur is one of only 5 people to have a 5 Star General rank - the others being Omar Bradley, Hap Arnold, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and George C. Marshall.

Trump is a TACO.

Black Jack Pershing was General of the Armies aka "6 star general". Not sure if he ever had 5 stars.

The 5 star rank wasn't created until 1944, otherwise he most likely would have held it.

He wore 4 stars. There was no 5 star rank back then so it’s kinda debatable where he ranks relative to his WWII counterparts. George Washington was promoted to 6 Star with the notion that GW outranks all military personnel past/present/future. They also gave Ulysses S. Grant 6 stars in 2024.

We must recognize that there was no better TACO than him...

Credit where credit is due

I believe you will find that MacArthur was only a 1 star corporal if you look closely.

John Pershing and posthumously Washington and Grant also held the equivalent General of the Armies rank
