Chump just implied he's a better president than the one who made the Imperial Japanese surrender

1. Wait, the WWI veteran?

The guy who served in France, in combat? And worked his way up from private to Colonel? The one that basically said “fuck you” to the Kansas City mob? That President?

Or the one with the bone spurs? So confusing to keep track of the details...

3. He said he passed more major legislation in his first year than HST.

4. The president who is #6 in historical rankings.

The sound you hear is Truman spinning in his grave.

5. The Deplorables trash President Obama.

He rated #12. He's almost in the first quintile.

[Irish_Dem]

9. Obama will go up in the ratings as the years go by.

More people will appreciate his political genius, excellent leadership skills and impeccable character.

10. Truman or Trump? Are you sure were talking about the same guy?

The name sounds familiar, but are we talking about the same guy?

Is it the one who worked his way up from anonymous Missouri farm boy, pushing a mule-driven plow (as detailed in the posthumous book “Letters to Bess”) to President of the Goddamnec United States of America?

Or a guy who inherited a shit ton of money, was bad at real estate, wasn’t very smart or even like able, became a reality TV personality because everything else he tried (except scams and lying) failed, and became President of a declining former world power, almost on accident, as a publicity stunt?

Again. It’s just so easy to confuse the two...

Truman’s not spinning, by the way. He’s in theafterlife and he is PISSED. This is the letter he wrote to the newspaper critic who didn’t like his daughter’s singing, and he wrote it while he was president:

Dec. 6, 1950

Mr. Hume:

I've just read your lousy review of Margaret's concert. I've come to the conclusion that you are an "eight ulcer man on four ulcer pay."

It seems to me that you are a frustrated old man who wishes he could have been successful. When you write such poppy-cock as was in the back section of the paper you work for it shows conclusively that you're off the beam and at least four of your ulcers are at work.

Some day I hope to meet you. When that happens you'll need a new nose, a lot of beefsteak for black eyes, and perhaps a supporter below!

Pegler, a gutter snipe, is a gentleman alongside you. I hope you'll accept that statement as a worse insult than a reflection on your ancestry.

H.S.T.

One of that “SAD FAKE NEWS” Twitter bullshit.

14. Truman also signed an executive order to end military desegregation.

With the stroke of a pen, he changed the military forever.

Good point on Truman, I like to think of him looking down from heaven on Trump and cussing him out.

6. the ONLY thing they apparently have in common is neither likes (liked) dogs

something that about broke my heart when I heard it about Harry Truman.

Trump? just glad for the dogs that don't come near him.

7. I hadn't heard that about truman who did have dogs

8. Truman infamously was give a cocker spaniel but quickly gave it away

President Truman’s Unwanted Dog, Feller
Some people attribute the quote “If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog” to our 33rd President Harry S. Truman. However, he probably didn’t really say that — and if so, Truman certainly wasn’t very good at following his own advice.

President Truman, who took over the Oval Office in 1945 after the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt during FDR’s fourth term, came to Washington, D.C., from Missouri dogless.

The Truman Library puts it matter-of-factly: “They preferred to be a pet-free family.”
“Whatever Happened to Feller?”

Almost three years later, Truman angered dog lovers all across the country when he gave away a dog that a supporter had sent him. A woman from his home state of Missouri sent him a cocker spaniel puppy named Feller, but Truman gave Feller away to his personal physician.

12. Thanks for the informative post.

I'm not sure that I trust people who prefer to live pet-free. Are they selfish, not sure?
