  • Harry Truman was the 33rd President of the United States of America who defeated Japan the easy way in World War II. The liberal media would have us believe that he was a Democrat. but believe their lies, our guts tell us he was all Real American. He also defeated North Korea during the Korean War, but the hippies in Congress kicked him out, a mistake they would soon regret.
  • Finding himself President after the sudden death of Franklin D Roosevelt, Harry S Truman was President until 1953. As such, it was Truman who gave the order to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Truman did not have the "need to know" about the Manhattan Project until FDR died (hell, Josef Stalin and his spies knew about the Manhattan Project before Truman did). Thus he took the decision to use them in a bit of an information vacuum, something historians have subsequently either downplayed or over-emphasized. He also desegregated the US military in 1948, because of his disgust over the way African-American war veterans were treated; the fact that it also saved some tax dollars getting rid of that ridiculous redundancy helped sell it too. His middle name is actually just an "S" - his parents wanted to please both of his grandfathers that way, who were named "Solomon" and "Shippe" respectively. It was a tradition among Scots-Irish immigrants in America. He's featured in a famous article, where the Chicago Tribune famously boasted, based on inaccurate opinion polling, "Dewey Defeats Truman" (he didn't). If you look at the example picture, you can see how happy he is. This can be considered his Crowning Moment of Awesome, especially when one considers that he had to contend with two third-party splinter candidacies during his campaign, one from Henry Wallace (a leftist who opposed Truman's anti-Communism) and another from Strom Thurmond (a Southern segregationist who opposed Truman's support for civil rights). His later presidency, however, was a slew of unpopular, nuanced decisions and a slide in the polls. Truman's period was very much one domestic crisis after another. He sent troops into The Korean War and when this became a stalemate, he became seriously unpopular, especially after sacking General MacArthur. (Despite MacArthur being partly responsible for said stalemate and wanting to directly attack China with thermonuclear weapons.) He ended up going as low as 22% in approval ratings, the lowest of all time in the Gallup poll. Although he wasn't term-limited by the 22nd Amendment passed during his presidency -- he was explicitly excluded -- he decided that he couldn't stand the heat any longer and got out of the kitchen (an expression popularized by Truman), announcing he would not run again in 1952. Losing the New Hampshire Primary helped. Estes Kefauver--a liberal Senator from Tennessee--won most of the primaries, but the party bosses (who actually chose the delegates then) went for Adlai Stevenson, who lost to Dwight D Eisenhower in an Electoral College landslide. (Of course, pretty much anyone would have lost in landslide to General Eisenhower.) Truman died in 1972 from pneumonia. Since his departure, Truman has enjoyed a rise in popularity and is rated highly by many historians. In particular, his decision to fire MacArthur, while deeply unpopular at the time, is now commonly viewed as a smart move that prevented the Korean War from escalating into World War III (MacArthur wanted to invade and bomb Red China, which is why he was fired), though there are plenty who still say that focus on simply holding the North, instead defeating it is the real reason the war was ultimately a stalemate. He has a carrier named after him, a bit ironic, since Truman actually tried to limit the expansion of the US Navy's aircraft carrier program during his tenure. Truman has also become a kind of political trope in and of himself, as he is frequently cited by politicians down in the polls as a reason for supporters to keep the faith. As a general rule, when a politician starts citing Harry Truman, it's a bad sign for his electoral prospects. He popularized the expression "The Buck Stops Here" (meaning that he'd take full responsibility for all actions of the Executive Branch.).

  • Harry S Truman (May 8, 1884 – December 26, 1972) was the 33rd President of the United States (1945–1953). As Vice President, he succeeded Franklin D. Roosevelt, who died less than three months after he began his fourth term, on April 12, 1945. During World War I, Truman served as an artillery officer. After the war he became part of the political machine of Tom Pendergast and was elected a county commissioner in Missouri and eventually a United States Senator. After he gained national prominence as head of the wartime Truman Committee, Truman replaced Vice President Henry Wallace as Roosevelt's running mate in 1944. Truman's presidency saw dramatic shifts in the country's foreign and domestic policies. On the foreign side, Truman oversaw the final defeat of the Axis, with the fall of Germany in May 1945, and the surrender of Japan in August 1945. The latter saw the deployment of the first atomic bombs. Truman also brought the U.S. into the United Nations, helped implement the Marshall Plan, and instituted the Truman Doctrine of containment of communism, laying the foundation of the Cold War. This policy eventually led to America's intervention in the Korean War in 1950. At home, the shift from a wartime to a peacetime economy was difficult, and Truman faced substantial opposition. He was elected in his own right in 1948, infamously defeating his opponent Thomas Dewey, to the surprise of pundits. However, the Korean War took a toll on his presidency. While legally able to run again in 1952, he chose not to. Truman left office in 1953 with the lowest approval ratings afforded any president before that time.

  • Harry Truman was President of the United States in the 1940s and 1950s. He was married to Bess Truman. Truman was thrust into power and never actually wanted to be President. While President, Truman had a Republican Congress that opposed his every move, highly powerful special interest groups, and a critical media biased against him. He was one of only two Presidents to tour Fort Knox. Muriel Keith, noted for meeting many Presidents, considered Truman the best out of all of them. Republican Albie Duncan began his tenure at the Department of State during the Truman administration. He was quoted as saying the Oval Office was the "crown-jewel of the federal penal system." He was responsible for ending World War II with the use of atomic bombs. He decided on using them after General George Marshall told him he would lose between 150,000 to 268,000 American soldiers. Some scholars believed that the atomic bombs were a show of strength to Joseph Stalin. He passed the Presidential Succession Act of 1947. It is said he put the Speaker of the House third in line in order to put the good of the country over politics. Others say it was because he drank bourbon with congressman Sam Rayburn. In 1952, Truman used his executive power to draft coalminers into military service in order to prevent a potentially crippling strike. It was later struck down by the Supreme Court. He was considered to have run his own presidential campaign. The Truman Balcony in the White House is named after him, as is the aircraft carrier Truman. He had a popular biography written on him that was later used as a gift by future First Lady Abigail Bartlet. Future Executive Secretary Deborah Fiderer and Acting President Glen Allen Walken were fans of Truman. Walken believed Truman would have been a Republican in the 21st century.
