During Magloire's reign, Haiti became a favorite tourist spot for US and European tourists. His anti-communism also gained favorable reception from US governments. He also used the coffee revenues to repair towns, build roads and pubic buildings and a dam and instigated women's suffrage. Magloire was also fond of vivid social life, horses and fine liquor and staged a massive number of parties, social events and ceremonies.
In 1954, when hurricane Hazel ravaged Haiti and relief funds were stolen, Magloire's popularity fell. In 1956 there was a dispute about when his office would end and he fled the country amid strikes and demonstrations. When François Duvalier acquired himself a presidency, he stripped Magloire of his Haitian citizenship.
In 1986, when Baby Doc Duvalier lost power, Magloire returned to Haiti from New York. Two years later he became unofficial army advisor. He died in 2001.
