Seventy-five years ago today, November 7, 1944, Franklin Roosevelt won an unprecedented fourth term as President. Shown here is “the piano playing candidate,” the Vice-President-Elect, Missouri Senator Harry S Truman, celebrating with some buddies from his service in World War I. The picture appeared in the Milwaukee Journal, November 8, 1944.
Just five months later, Truman would become President upon the Roosevelt’s death on April 12, 1945.
FDR snubbed Truman to the extent he didn’t know anything about the nuclear device until after FDR died.
Even accounting for the good that was done this country will never recover from all the damage FDR also caused during his “reign”.
