Ya know, when I posted the Truman clip, my intention wasn't to directly compare Truman to Trump, but, rather, as an example of a President who deemed the responsibility to honor the actions of those who serve (Truman, himself was a WWI veteran who saw action) as greater than personal comfort or expediency. Over the decades, I have seen newspaper and TV reports showing other Presidents attending various memorials to US war dead ,or for those who served, under poor weather conditions and who did not shirk their responsibilities as Commanders-In-Chief to suitably express the gratitude of the nation. It just happened I was very familiar with the Truman situation and it was the easiest clip to find...
If you want to find out why Truman was so determined to personally honor the 442nd, I suggest reading about Truman's own military record:

Well, as long as we're making comparisons, it should be noted Truman kept a sign on his desk saying: "The Buck Stops Here":

If Trump had a sign on his desk it would probably go something like:
Quote:
There's no buck here.
And, if there is, its a fake buck made up by the lying media.
And if they come looking for the buck, its all just a witch hunt.
And I don't know any buck.
And if I did, it only a low level buck I didn't interact with.
Why aren't they looking for Obama's buck?
