I was once a fan of Harry Truman. But once I began my journey into the communist infiltration of this country beginning in the Thirties until it began to decline in the Fifties when HUAC and then Joseph McCarthy made it disreputable to be affiliated with Communists, the actions of Harry Truman appalled me.
At a time when he should have been a champion of this country and protecting its interests, he was far, FAR more interested in protecting the Democrat Party.
His actions in impeding, obstructing, and doing everything he could to block the McCarthy investigations were disgusting.
He is no hero of mine, even divorced from his finances.
And Truman obstructed those investigations, because they would have been overwhelmingly damning to the Democrat Party.
Today, the damage of any investigations would not be so one-sided, but back then, they damn well were.
The Democrat Party is and was The Party of Treason, and today, they have help from bought off Republicans like Mitch McConnell and Mitt Romney.
In other words you discovered he was a typical democrat !
Truman made mistakes. He said so himself. He said “If I could take back anything, it would be the formation of the CIA, it was my biggest mistake”. That being said, he played so major league ball and made perhaps the biggest decisions of the last century for the free world, when he stepped in. Truman was already surrounded by Roosevelt communists when he arrived, with virtually no knowledge of the major projects in the US or war at the time. He had to face down Stalin and Mao day one of his arrival.
Him being rich, well he didn’t sure didn’t flaunt it or ask for anything government. The reason Truman is being trashed now is that all the Democrats have enriched themselves being POTUS or VPOTUS, and only Trump lost half his wealth serving. That fact sticks in the gut of Democrats so much that they reach back to try and smear one of their own.
I figure not many could have done as well as Truman did, with what he started with, filling in during a huge war, with everything stacked against him. He was loyal to party, probably to a fault, but the buck did stop at his desk.
Truman was a machine guy in MO politics if I recall correctly.
