Harry Truman attempted to nationalize the steel industry, he was only stopped by the Supreme Court. Bring back the Bourbon Democrats instead.

Harry Truman cared more about Democratic Party politics than he did about national security.

Truman had proof that Harry Dexter White was a Soviet agent, given to him by Hoover (see Elizabeth Bentley) but disliked Hoover and decided to double down on White and put him in the IMF where he could “keep an eye on him”.

Like hell. I used to respect Truman, but he was a political hack.
