Now 102 years ago.

You have to wonder if being shot and carrying a lead bullet shortened TR’s life. He died in 1919 at age 60 when many Republicans were hoping to run him in 1920.

Even though he was found to be insane, the written screed found on him indicated he had political motivation.

Interesting question. Roosevelt was a sickly child and overcame his weaknesses thru sheer force of character. He was a very progressive man for his time. Progressives in those days were not communists.

I read about this years ago and found it amazing. TR was a progressive alright and he liked to poke his nose in nearly every facet of government but I do admire his self-determination and grit and liked that he had a tireless drive. You can take something good out of his personal life while acknowledging that politically both he and Woodrow Wilson probably brought about the modern liberal
