We compare 44 President’s quotes in history to 45. This proves that Trump is inept, unqualified, unprepared, corrupt, incapable of the truth, without conscience, without honor, lacks empathy, and is truly what psychiatrists call a malignant narcissist. Our Democracy is shaking and if elected again, we and the World will be slaves to the rich and powerful. Dictatorship will follow. We will be publishing quotes from former Presidents every day for 44 straight days and compare them to 45, our current President YAHOO. We are on # 26 (twenty six).
Theodore Roosevelt Jr. was an American statesman, politician, conservationist, naturalist, and writer who served as the 26th president of the United States from 1901 to 1909. He served as the 25th vice president from March to September 1901 and as the 33rd governor of New York from 1899 to 1900. Roosevelt emerged as a leader of the Republican Party and became a driving force for the anti-trust policy while supporting Progressive Era policies in the United States in the early 20th century. His face is depicted on Mount Rushmore alongside George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln. He is generally ranked in polls of historians and political scientists as one of the five best presidents.
Theodore Roosevelt:
“The White House is a bully pulpit.”
“Congress does from a third to a half of what I think is the minimum that it ought to do, and I am profoundly grateful that I get as much.”
“The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living and the get-rich-quick theory of life.”
“The reactionary is always willing to take a progressive attitude on any issue that is dead.”
“My success so far has only been won by absolute indifference to my future career.”
“Oh, if I could only be President and Congress, too, for just ten minutes.”
“A great democracy must be progressive or it will soon cease to be a great democracy.”
“I wish that all Americans would realize that American politics is world politics.”
“Speak softly and carry a big stick.”
“Actions speak louder than words.”
“There can be no effective control of corporations while their political activity remains.”
“Do what you can where you are with what you’ve got.”
“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.”
“No man is above the law and no man is below it; nor do we ask any man’s permission when we require him to obey it.”
“To waste, destroy our natural resources, to skin and exhaust the land instead of using it so as to increase its usefulness, will result in undermining in the days of our children the very prosperity which we ought by right to hand down to them amplified and developed.”
“No man is justified in doing evil on the ground of expediency.”
“Nine-tenths of wisdom consists in being wise in time.”
“No President ever enjoyed himself in the presidency as much as I did.”
