Harry Truman was Roosevelt’s vice president and served from 1945 to 1953, when Eisenhower took over as Yes Man Number One.

But Trump is the first president who does not sound like he got his script from the “Elite” since Truman.

To make this perfectly clear, Truman talked like an American, and Trump will be the first occupant of the White House since him who talked outside the pattern. Reagan, the pro, could do anything in any kind of “-ese.”

After the Roosevelts, who were rich and made it clear they expected to be thought of as aristocrats, Truman’s working class language was a relief. A typical joke of the time sums it up:

Truman kept calling everything “manure.” Anything someone said that he didn’t like he said was “horse manure.” After every Republican speech he said, “That was just horse manure.”

So somebody complained to Mrs. Truman.

Her reply was “Count your blessings. It took us a year to get him to say “manure.”

That sounds pretty tame in an age when every member of our Elite tries to sound like an illiterate ghetto Black on meth. But the average level of schooling was much lower then.

What shocks the Elite about Trump is that he talks like an American.

Trump could afford to talk like he damn well pleased. Here again, Truman was his absolute opposite. He was broke. In fact, Truman is the reason that the best paid job working for the US Government is being ex-president.  The ex-president’s pension is now set at whatever the current salary is for a member the Cabinet.

Trump will be first president who has ever actually HANDLED an enterprise that deals in Billions of dollars. Truman was not the only haberdasher who went bankrupt when the Depression hit.

In 1953 Truman left office broke.

I have seen a lot of helpless politicians, and I honestly believe that Truman didn’t know HOW to sell out.

Henry Clay, Jefferson and a lot of others died in desperate financial situations.

In contrast to Truman, one of the reasons some people couldn’t take eight years of Hillary was simply that they were BORED. Every words she said would be something right out of Obama or Clinton.    Eight more years of THAT was a chilling prospect!

Trump is somebody who has a terrific track record and says so.

I have explained before that the civil service reform of 1978 took out four of the old ranks above GS-15, the equivalent of a colonel. Before the reform, each new GS-16 had to be a specialist. At that level, brigadier general, there aren’t always openings for carpentry specialists.

In the real world, it makes little difference what the specialty of a high level executive is. With someone who has run a machinery company successfully last, the point is that he ran it successfully.

So when you get to SES level you can be transferred to running anything.

I got the impression that Hillary was running for president as a specialist. She knew all about what was going on in Lugubingia and the latest elitist fad.

The media made a big thing of the fact that Trump would fail the written test.

The highest level job on earth is not for the person who can ace the written test.

There are far more than enough people to tell him anything he needs to know, and to shut up when he has what he needs. Perot was the only third party candidate in history who was ever ahead of the two major party candidates, including a sitting president, when he dropped out.

Americans know exactly what I am saying here: The president GETS the information he needs.

As Townsend put it years before, “Anybody who needs a job description is not qualified to be an executive.”
