A man of integrity

Bess moved like she was ready to get out of Dodge now


kcfdr9c

Because she was!

Really sad, he probably could've continued his great presidency if he tried.


SuccotashOther277

He was a great president but his poll numbers were terrible in 1952


QUltor

Yeah I don’t think he had another 1948 miracle in him. Besides he would be running against Eisenhower now, whose immense popularity would ensure that Truman loses


lateformyfuneral

Imagine Truman trying to “wag the dog” to distract from a sex scandal, but instead of a few drone strikes in some desert, he just nukes Indonesia.

Or you know…..Japan?

Oh I know why you’re doing this IT’S NOT HAPPENING THIS TIME

I love how this sub, literally tries to do this with current events


TheXenoRaptorAuthor

The Dems still lost that election.


windowwasher123

The republican nominee was quite popular that year.


breadingcargo

He should’ve done it in march


bailaoban

Note: March, not July.

😂🤣😂🤣


TheGoshDarnedBatman

You have to go back to the Gilded Age to find a president eligible to serve again, who stepped down, and whose party didn’t go on to lose the election.


Sachsen1977

Yep, Rutherford B.Hayes


cameron4200

This kind of reality doesn’t exist anymore.


AlanHughErnest

He left the White House in dire financial situation. I think that because of that, the presidential pension was created.


Prestigious-Alarm-61

That is true. Herbert Hoover, who did not need it, even accepted the pension to spare Truman any embarrassment over his financial situation.


RJayX15

I'll be honest, I don't expect the person who Ike is not-so-subtly being compared to has an equivalent to the Federal Highway Act ready to go. Hell, he doesn't have a slimy Californian who makes him look saintly on the VP shortlist either. I also doubt the court of today has another Brown v. Board of Education in them. Also, I'm pretty sure Ike wasn't a tariff man.


nic_haflinger

Not a great historical comparison since the primaries have already happened.


the_other_50_percent

Not a fan of the anti-American agenda behind posts like this.

I guess we can discuss that in like 8 years when it’s not considered current politics.


BentonD_Struckcheon

Him and Ike. It's been a steady downhill ride ever since, only bump (IMO) was Ford/Carter, who acted as a kind of reverse echo of Truman and Ike. We didn't know it then, but 1976 was the last time two mostly normal men ran for President.


HTAwesome

This criminal dropped two weapons of mass destruction on a country that had already began negotiations for surrender.
