You mean the Harry Truman that fired General Douglas MacArthur when the general wanted to carry the fight to the Communist Chinese who had intervened en masse in the Korean War?

Truman’s handling of the Korean War led to his decision not to run for re-election in 1952.

The ‘tough guy’ image of Truman was created later to restore his tarnished image.
