We will have to see the polls. President trump seems to think its a winning issue for him, he can in blame on the protests that we are seeing going on around the country. The democrats, i think one of the challenges is he has this happening on his watch and what he can do to address this if he is reelected that he cant do right now while hes president. At the same time, i think biden feels he wont be blamed for this, he is seen as the more call me figure. Hes looking at polls like those who say we

Discussed his biography of president harry truman. The book was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for biography and was instrumental in changing attitudes about the truman presidency. Here is a portion of that interview. The assassination and the number of president s had been assassinated, why wouldnt the government have protections . This wasnt done. Why wouldnt the government have a pension for everybody but no pension for a president . He had very little money. He had to borrow some money quite secretly which dean patterson cosigned to pay for the move back home. This is not wellknown. It doesnt mean he doesnt have money.
