HST had a way with words didn’t he? Grandpa (Mom’s Dad) loved him. The narrative we always got was that the military hated when he fired Douglas MacArthur but Grandpa loved Truman for that. Truman was also gracious to Grandma’s cousins the Stranks, an immigrant family no less he visited Johnstown in 1948. I’m on record as liking Truman more than FDR.
Give ‘em hell Harry was the first actual simple speaking common man President. It’s one reason he wasn’t all that well liked.
