The Republican National Committee (RNC) is receiving criticism for a tweet it sent to commemorate Presidents’ Day.
The RNC’s Twitter account on Monday shared a graphic of various presidents with the words, “Happy Presidents’ Day To Such Great U.S. Presidents.”
The presidents featured in the graphic were all Republicans, including Abraham Lincoln, Calvin Coolidge, Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump.
I'm glad they didn't include TR. I'm a conservative. He was a progressive. Good riddance. It's bad enough we have to celebrate the Bushes, TR oversaw huge expansions of the size and scope of the federal government, doing violence to the constitution along the way, and he personally created much of today's deep state.
My Grandfather was a Marine in the Pacific during WWII. I will always say that Harry Truman was a good President for making the decision to drop the Atom bombs on Japan. I might not be here otherwise.
great REPUBLICAN presidents...
My problem with that list is that at best four of them could be considered “great.”
That is about all Truman got right.
I don’t celebrate the Bushes, they are largely responsible for where we are today.
He was a great man even if that were the only decision he ever made. As it was he demonstrated what strength and calm and wisdom looked like before and after the decision.
This is the complete opposite of the frightened squirrel supposedly running the show today. With cowardice, stupidity and dishonor in his wake.
Darn. Another day, another rip, by the fake offended left.
If Truman had served out his first term and not run for a full term, he would likely have been considered one of our greatest presidents.
The bushies and Nixon were toxic. EPA and DEA under Nixon. New world order, read my lips. patriot act Iraq war. Not a good legacy.
“If Truman had served out his first term and not run for a full term, he would likely have been considered one of our greatest presidents.”
I will agree with that. But, the biggest thing that Truman gave us was Eisenhower.
George W. Bush was not a great president. He was and still is a POS idiot.
Bump, Truman is why we have Communist China to deal with. Another light weight fool that never should have been in the oval office.
If Truman had served out his first term and not run for a full term, he would likely have been considered one of our greatest presidents.
His stock has gone up quite a bit in the last 40 years. He was not afraid to make decisions that were very unpopular with his own party. He was the last President with no degree and he was amongst the poorest financially. He was a good man, better for this job than being knowledgeable or even smart.
“TR oversaw huge expansions of the size and scope of the federal government, doing violence to the constitution along the way, and he personally created much of today’s deep state.”
And he was responsible for causing the election of one of America’s worst and nastiest presidents, Woodrow Wilson.
That too.
I like Ike but I'll take Taft.
Theodore Roosevelt WAS a great president and a great man. No question.
