Harry Truman left the White House as one of the least popular presidents of his era. He returned home without a presidential pension, without a government-funded staff, and without much public appreciation for the choices he had made. Yet more than a decade later, another president would travel to his hometown to place tangible proof in his hands that one of his greatest defeats had never truly been a defeat at all.On January 20, 1953, Truman’s presidency came to an end.
Unlike former presidents today, he had no taxpayer-funded office waiting for him. No lifetime salary. No official support system. The Former Presidents Act, which would later provide those benefits, had not yet been created.
His most reliable income came from his World War I military pension.
It was a little over one hundred dollars a month.
So Harry and Bess Truman boarded a train, left Washington behind, and returned to Independence, Missouri.
At the time, few Americans seemed upset to see him go.
His approval ratings had collapsed. Critics blamed him for inflation, political scandals, the Korean War, and much of the uncertainty that followed World War II. Newspapers had spent years portraying him as ineffective, and many voters believed his legacy had already been written.
In the eyes of much of the country, Harry Truman was a failed president.
Truman never spent much energy arguing otherwise.
Instead, he settled back into ordinary life.
That same year, he bought a Chrysler and took a road trip with Bess across the country. They drove through multiple states without a motorcade or special treatment. Truman stopped at gas stations and filled the tank himself.
People recognized him.
Truck drivers waved.
Strangers asked for autographs.
Once, state police reportedly pulled him over because he was driving too slowly.
Back home in Independence, he answered his own phone, handled his own mail, and took daily walks through town. Reporters who tried to follow him sometimes struggled to match his pace.
The former president had become, in many ways, a private citizen again.
What stood out most was what he refused to do.
He did not spend his retirement attacking Dwight Eisenhower.
He did not launch a campaign to repair his image.
He did not obsess over his place in history.
He simply moved forward with his life.
Meanwhile, history quietly began revisiting the decisions he had made.
One of those decisions came in 1948 when Truman signed Executive Order 9981, beginning the desegregation of the U.S. military.
It was a politically risky move.
Military leaders objected. Southern Democrats were furious. Many advisers warned him against it.
Truman proceeded anyway.
He believed segregation was morally wrong, and once he reached that conclusion, political calculations no longer mattered much to him.
Then there was Europe.
The continent emerged from World War II shattered. Economies were broken, cities lay in ruins, and millions faced poverty and instability.
Truman’s administration responded with policies that would shape the modern world.
The Truman Doctrine committed America to resisting Soviet expansion.
The Marshall Plan invested billions in rebuilding Western Europe.
At the time, many critics called it wasteful spending.
Years later, those same decisions looked very different.
European economies recovered. Democracies survived. Western Europe entered one of the most stable and prosperous periods in its history.
Policies once mocked as expensive mistakes increasingly appeared to be the foundation of the postwar order.
Yet one issue remained painfully unresolved.
National health insurance.
In 1945, only months after World War II ended, Truman became the first American president to formally ask Congress for a comprehensive national health insurance program.
He believed illness should not destroy a family financially.
The opposition was immediate and intense.
The American Medical Association denounced the proposal. Conservatives attacked it. Many lawmakers from both parties joined forces to stop it.
The legislation died.
Truman tried again.
It failed again.
When he left office in 1953, one of the causes he cared about most remained unfinished.
There would be no celebration.
No signing ceremony.
No victory.
So Truman returned to Missouri and carried on with his life.
Then, twenty years after he first began the fight, something remarkable happened.
On July 30, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed legislation creating Medicare and Medicaid.
Johnson could have held the ceremony at the White House.
Instead, he boarded Air Force One and flew to Independence, Missouri.
The signing took place inside the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library.
Waiting there was an 81-year-old former president whose vision had once been dismissed and defeated.
Before signing the bill, Johnson publicly praised Truman for championing the cause long before the nation was ready to embrace it.
Then he signed the legislation.
Medicare and Medicaid became law.
Johnson handed several of the signing pens to Harry and Bess Truman.
In front of the country, he made something clear:
The man who had lost the battle in the 1940s had helped make victory possible in the 1960s.
But Johnson had one more tribute planned.
Six months later, he returned to the Truman Library carrying two small cards.
They were among the first Medicare cards ever issued.
Card number one belonged to Harry S. Truman.
Card number two belonged to Bess Truman.
Johnson presented them personally.
The symbolism was impossible to miss.
The president who had left Washington believing one of his most important goals had failed now held proof that the idea had survived long enough to become reality.
The cause had outlived the defeat.
Truman died in 1972 at the age of eighty-eight.
By then, historians had already begun reevaluating his presidency.
The Marshall Plan.
The Truman Doctrine.
The integration of the armed forces.
The recognition of Israel.
The creation of NATO.
The strategy of containing Soviet expansion without triggering another world war.
And the early push for national health insurance.
Decisions that once drew criticism increasingly looked like acts of long-term leadership.
The president who left office with approval ratings near thirty percent gradually rose in historical rankings until he became widely regarded as one of the most consequential presidents of the twentieth century.
What makes that transformation remarkable is that Truman did almost nothing to create it.
He did not reinvent himself.
He did not rewrite history.
He did not spend decades demanding recognition.
He returned home, lived quietly, and let time deliver its verdict.
Some victories happen on election night.
Some arrive when a bill becomes law.
And some take decades before the world realizes the people who appeared to lose were simply ahead of their time.
Harry Truman lived long enough to see one of those victories placed directly into his hands.
History is patient.
Sometimes it takes years for the world to catch up to the people who were right.

The Wall Street Journal has just published a new story about Corey Lewandowski’s corruption while he was a special government employee at DHS.
Lewandowski pitched a wealthy Gulf state to “hire me on the side,” offering help with issues under DHS jurisdiction, including visas.
After Palantir negotiated a $2.7 billion DHS agreement, the contract sat unsigned while Lewandowski repeatedly sought a private one-on-one meeting with CEO Alex Karp.
Karp and other Palantir officials were so uncomfortable with the circumstances that the meeting was canceled.
The agreement was ultimately reduced to $1 billion.

It’ll be interesting to see if these online polls showing Harris way ahead get her into the race, since her support in these is coming from people who are lower information.

The same early phone polls in 2024 gave DeSantis the idea that Trump was beatable. In the end, though, the contests tend to resolve in the direction of online polls when you get to later contests when people haven’t paid much attention. A dynamic to watch in 2028.

@ViadelCorso2266
Dear @RepBowman Where was this Black-Palestinian solidarity of which you speak during the American civil rights movement?
With all due respect, it wasnt Imams clutching the Quran who marched with Dr. King, it was Rabbis carrying the Torah. It wasnt Palestinian Arabs who were Freedom Riders, it was Jews.
The solidarity of which you speak was not demonstrated by Muslim clerics but by Jews who decided that the Exodus was not a museum piece, and that “do not stand idly by the blood of your neighbor” was an order, not a slogan.
It was JEWISH AMERICANS came south with prayer books and bail money. Some left in handcuffs. Some left on stretchers. Two did not leave at all.
THE ST. AUGUSTINE 17
In June 1964, St. Augustine, Florida, the oldest European-founded city in the continental United States, was still a Jim Crow fortress. Local Black activists under Dr. Robert Hayling and the SCLC had been beaten, threatened, and jailed for trying to integrate beaches, lunch counters, and the Monson Motor Lodge. Martin Luther King Jr. himself was arrested there on June 11. From the St. Johns County Jail he wired his friend Rabbi Israel “Sy” Dresner and the Reform rabbinate meeting in Atlantic City: come. Bring rabbis. Stand with us.
Sixteen rabbis and one Jewish lay leader answered within hours. Among them were Dresner, Eugene Borowitz, Balfour Brickner, Allen Secher, Richard Levy, Michael Robinson, Leon Jick, Murray Saltzman, and Al Vorspan of the Religious Action Center. They are remembered as the St. Augustine 17. The story of the St. Augustine 17 involves the largest mass arrest of rabbis in American history. On June 18 they prayed in an integrated circle in the motel parking lot. The manager shoved them. Troopers shoved them. They recited Psalm 23
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death” as they were loaded into cars. Two were seized for daring to sit with Black teenagers at another restaurant. That same afternoon, when Black and white protesters jumped the segregated pool; the manager poured muriatic acid into the water. The images went national. Days later the Senate broke the filibuster on the Civil Rights Act. Johnson signed it on July 2.
From their packed jail cell the rabbis wrote “Why We Went” on the back of a Ku Klux Klan leaflet. They said they had come because silence is a form of consent, because faith dies when people stop believing they can act, because they would not stand by their brother’s blood.
In Hattiesburg, Mississippi, it wasnt a Palestinian who risked arrest for registering black voters. It was Rabbi Arthur J. Lelyveld of Cleveland’s Fairmount Temple. Rabbi Lelyveld spent July of 1964, during Freedom Summer, walking Hattiesburg streets with young volunteers and local Black teenagers, trying to register voters. A pickup stopped. Two white men climbed out with a metal bar—described as a tire iron or a piece of brake. They called the workers “n*gger lovers” and “Communists.” They split Lelyveld’s head, opened a gash over his eye, pounded his chest and abdomen. He was hospitalized. Marshals escorted him out of town. He would later gave the eulogy for Andrew Goodman.
Dr. King would name the beating in speeches when he asked whether anyone still needed proof of Jewish sacrifice and solidarity.
Apparently, you do.
Lelyveld was not a tourist of other people’s pain. He told his congregation that Leviticus bound them: you were strangers in Egypt; you will love the stranger. Mississippi answered him with a tire-iron.
On June 21, 1964 it was not Palestinian Arabs demonstrating their solidarity with 21-year-old Black Mississippian, James Chaney, investigating the burning of Mount Zion Methodist Church.
It was 2 Jews from New York, Michael “Mickey” Schwerner and Andrew Goodman.
Neshoba County Deputy Cecil Price, a Klansman, jailed them, released them after dark on that same day and delivered them to the Klan. Wayne Roberts shot Schwerner and Goodman at close range.

Happening all across rural America:
In recent years, concerns about access to maternity care in rural areas have grown as hundreds of rural hospitals have closed their obstetrics units. In 2023, approximately half of rural hospitals offered obstetrics services, and almost half of rural counties did not have a hospital offering obstetrics services. A lack of access to maternity care can lead to negative health outcomes, such as low birthweight and premature births, and increased maternal mortality. According to a Government Accountability Office study, difficulty recruiting and retaining providers and low Medicaid reimbursement rates are some of the biggest challenges to providing obstetric services in rural areas. Medicaid is a major payer of obstetrics care in rural communities, covering almost 1 in 4 rural women of reproductive age and financing nearly half of all births in rural communities.
Existing concerns for hospital-based rural maternity care access are expected to grow due to cuts to Medicaid in the 2025 reconciliation law that are projected to reduce spending in rural areas through changes to hospital supplemental payments and reduced Medicaid enrollment. Although increasing obstetric payments to hospitals has been a priority for many states over the past decade, changes from the reconciliation law could result in reduced Medicaid revenues for hospital services, including for rural hospitals that already have lower financial margins. While the temporary rural health fund included in the law allocates $50 billion over ten years to reduce the impact of the Medicaid cuts in rural areas, not all of it is directed to rural hospitals and, overall, it is not likely to offset the longer-term impacts of the cuts.

Good morning! Thank you so much for sharing this. There are many lessons to learn on many levels. I was thinking about Joe Biden before I read this. I’m still angry.
My dad was a life long Democrat who worshipped FDR. I don’t know how this interview came about but he went to Independence and met with Truman in his home. It was one of the biggest thrills in his life (he was also a history major). Dad noted that Truman had the famous picture of him holding the Chicago Tribune edition of the paper with the headline “Dewey Defeats Truman”. The election in 1948 was very close and at one point in the evening it looked like Truman had lost which prompted the headline (newspapers back then hated Democrats more than they do today). Truman obviously got a big kick out of it. I know my Dad did!
I will never not be bitter about how Joe Biden was treated. I honestly consider him the best President of my lifetime. Never had I seen a President use his extensive knowledge of Government to try and help as many ‘average people’ as Joe Biden, with the margins he had legislatively. I believe it was his Superpower.
Your father’s story about Truman warms this political junkie’s heart :)
Good Morning, Everyone😊😊😊
