I think you’re looking for 1940’s DU. You would have been banned from 1940’s FR for being a Trumanbot.

Truman was socialist garbage like every rat President from Wilson on and every rat nominee for President from FDR on.

He was as popular as dirt for most of his Presidency.

You are the 2nd freeper to diss MacArthur in as many days, bizarre. Truman is the one who should have been fired but he tricked idiots into voting for him using class warfare, he sounded a lot like Al Gore in many of his speeches.

He gets no points from me for fulfilling the minimum job requirements of not losing to Japan.

Impy: "Truman was socialist garbage like every rat President from Wilson on and every rat nominee for President from FDR on."

Truman has been treated more kindly by history than by his contemporaries (22% approval on leaving office) likely because, at least compared to today's liberal/progressive Democrats, his politics could easily be described as Neanderthal-grade conservative.
People today forget that he willfully ignored Communists in the Roosevelt government he inherited, and botched the Korean war big time, instead they give the "Truman Doctrine" some credit for the Soviet collapse in 1989.

This statue of Truman in Athens, Greece, testifies to the fact that some people, at least, considered him a staunch anti-Communist:
