THE AGGRANDIZING OF POWER

As I ponder over the latest FAKE NEWS I am reminded of President Harry S. Truman's incredible victory over Gov. Thomas E. Dewey in the 1948 presidential election. Nobody thought Dewey would lose except Harry Truman... and millions of believers. HST was my kind of president.


The media at the time was primarily newspapers. Little to no television..no internet..no Facebook.. no nothing. Yet Truman won!


Today, nobody really knows of what a successful campaign is. We are in transition and the media moguls are hedging their bets, early on. Rich people have money to burn. They live in lofty towers of, maybe, fantasy. Are they aware of American History? Can Trump name 20 Presidents?


But what about the average Joe? We foot the tax bill as Trumpers feather their own nests. Now, with the new year, the race is on. Tens of millions will be wasted. Joe McGinnis' book on THE MAKING OF THE PRESIDENT - Nixon 1968 reveals how the pre3sidency was packaged. So what's new? Today's technologies really wont show anything!

THE TRUTH NEVER FELL DEAD IN THE STREET Harry S. Truman =President
