four years earlier, while still in the second of his four terms as president, FDR had been diagnosed with a deadly skin cancer, melanoma, in a lesion over his left eyebrow.
What an egomaniac.
That is just not the case.
If FDR had stepped aside, Henry Wallace would have had the Democratic nomination and would have won the election of 1944 and that would have been a disaster.
Instead, FDR dumped Wallace and picket the much more conservative Truman to inherit the presidency.
Yep .. apparently most all of them lie.
Few men of true integrity, whose life,
within personal privacy rights and
job impact, is an open book.
FDR being a democrat the press did not print anything about his problems...same press as today. I have heard it said that they just repected his privacy.....BS he was a democrat....thats the only reason, just like today and the press..hasn’t changed in at least 70 years....
