The article concludes with Truman and Ike ultimately burying the hatchet but about 3-6 years after they were both out of office. Thus, the contemporary practice of former presidents loving each other on Day 1 seems to be the exception rather than the rule.

Trump seems more in line with Ike than Dubya...there's another reason to love Trump.

“Truman knew a hero when he saw one...”

Didn’t help MacArthur much.

Barring the two assassinations of JFK and RFK, I suspect that something similar would have happened between JFK and Nixon in 1968, especially since the Democrat candidate would almost certainly have been Robert, which Hubert Horatio (Hornblower) Humphrey the VP on the ticket.

People have pointed out that Trump was the first president not to attend his successor’s inauguration since Andrew Johnson. Gee, Trump and Andrew Johnson were the only two presidents to have been impeached for purely political purposes with Trump having been impeached twice for purely political purposes.

Is anybody really surprised at his response?

A very trite comparison. Ike and Harry both loved America. Neither one was a pervert personally or would have thrown their lot on with deviant men who want to chop their penis off and nominated one as asst Sec of health. Both would have been repelled by Buttgig kissing another man on stage. Both would have been sickened at molesting their own daughter like Biden did. Neither would have thought an 8 year old who should be allowed to decide to medically try to change sexes. Both would have been sickened at abortion, and especially secret abortions in middle school and high school hidden from the parents. Neither though communism and Marx were virtues. Both were honorable Army men, Truman in WWI and Ike in WWII.

There was so little distance between Truman and Ike that there really was very little reason they couldn’t be friendly after the election was settled.

Truman was the problem.

McCarthy was right in most all his accusations, and American Democrats were are even more so, Socialist Symps.

The Demonization and Destruction of McCarthy set the stage and the method for the imposition of China Biden's imposition of Marxist Mob Rule in America.

To be fare, Eisenhower didn’t care for either Truman (which he thought was corrupt) or Kennedy (which he thought was a young punk)
