Once you get past all the anti-Trump fuming at the start, it gets interesting about Truman's finances in and out of office.

Henry Wallace would have become POTUS when FDR died if he had not been replaced on the 1944 ticket by Truman.

I'm no fan of Truman, however, the man lived frugally. The difference between Obama and Truman for example, is the difference between black and white.

Perhaps the article mentions it, I’m not going to invest the time to read it, but it must be remembered that Truman, for better or worse, came up through democrat ranks as a Pendergast Machine in Kansas City. So I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t ‘dip his beak’ every now and then.

And while not faultless as President, I think he was a lot better than the one he replaced as FDR’s VP—Henry Wallace, who thought we should be much closer to Stalin and the USSR after the war.

The Corruption of Washington DC. How did this stuff get started? Why are so many people in the government in Washington DC going their with modest wealth, and leaving stinking rich?

So Truman was enriched himself while bankrupting the nation by re-imposing the New Deal following WWII.

It was so bad that the American people in 1946 elected the first Republican Congress since 1930.

Truman was an economic moron.

POTUS Trump left DC with much less Wealth than when he arrived unlike most of his predecessors. Talk about sacrificing your Name, your Family and your Wealth for the Republic.
