Yeah, I think everyone is really, really shocked because he has been this great leader. He's arguably the greatest president America's ever had. He's certainly in the top handful. And he's a titan. I mean, he's a titanic figure. He's the only president to have served four terms or almost four terms. How hands-on was he with military strategy? Very, very hands-on.

He was Machiavellian and underhand at times and completely ruthless, but he was fundamentally a good man. He wanted the world to be a better place when he left the world than when he was born into it. And I think you can argue that he pulled that off. Truman is really, really interesting.

But does that put him in a really good position to be the leader of the kind of largest, richest nation in the world by 1944 and to lead the free world into the post-war era? And there's a lot of question marks about that. And a lot of people don't think he's going to do it.
