        During the 20 years b/w 1945 & 1974, the US had 7 presidents. Between 1997-2016, we had 3. Lots of historically unprecedented continuity.

        Shows the effect of the lack of assassinations and resignations in the last 20 years.

        Well that and also that this is only the second time in history where we've had three consecutive two-term presidents.

        Any photos of hillary being sworn in as President? There's no way Trump will get elected.

        Shudder to think if our current president had to make the decisions President Truman was confronted with.

        Harry S Truman recognized First the Jewish State of Israel our ally. Obama dissed Israel and worse. Trump a great friend of Israel!👌👍
