Google is not going to give you that answer, Because outside of the theater of war, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, shit, even our own Civil War, taking the lives of "the enemy", there has never been an American leader, under whose sole authority, that has wilfully/purposely allowed/caused, as many as a 100 million of their own citizens to perish or outright slaughter them(Stalin, Kim, Zedong...).

You should learn the difference between type of governments and types of economic policies. Because you seem to be treating them as the same thing… they’re not. Communism isn’t a form of government, it is a type of economic policy.

Capitalism: economic policy. Democratic Republic: form of government.

I wouldn't say no trouble... I would have to search the breadth of the Internet for many, many smaller examples. Good place to start would probablythe market crash preceding the great depression. And I will amend my comments regarding Russia and the deaths of those citizens, since under Stalin's watch a lot of those deaths were the results of his insanity and his struggle to keep power rather than failure of economic policy.
