Everyone talks about how Teddy and Franklin were cousins, but neglect to know that Eleanor was the daughter of Teddy's brother, his brother was an alcoholic, Teddy practically raised her alongside his children. Teddy gave her away at her and Franklin's wedding
FDR and Teddy weren’t closely related (and thus FDR and Elenor). They were fifth cousins. Keep in mind Zachary Taylor was James Madison’s second cousin but no one talks about their relation
Most badass man to live. Keep in mind he was rock climbing when he heard that McKinley was shot, and during a campaign speech, he got shot as well. The bullet didn't injure him because his chest had so much muscle mass, and he finished the rest of his speech before seeking medical attention
Coolbean94vevo In fact, it wasn't his muscle mass that stopped the bullet it was a folded 50 page speech, his spectacles case and a thick Army overcoat. Nonetheless, this maddingly impressive he continued he speech no big deal with a dime size bullet wound in his chest
This guy was what we would call a live wire. His successor, Taft, on the other hand, was the complete opposite - quiet, approachable and with a reputation for randomly falling asleep!
Most people loved him, but apparently Alton Parker, William Taft, Woodrow Wilson, John Schrank, Charles Fairbanks, and fourteen of the trust owners disliked this video!
Less we not forget my boy got shot during the middle of a speech, then continued his speech for like well over an hour before attempting to seek medical attention
He was also a Scorpio and proclaimed, SPEAK SOFTLY AND CARRY A BIG STICK!!! Meaning, be mindful of your surroundings and always be ready to fight!!! Spoken like a true Scorpio.🦂
Theodore Roosevelt was the first President elevated to office upon the incapacitation or death of a predecessor that won an election in his own right. Tyler Fillmore Johnson and Arthur all lost theirs.
Too bad this guy gets all the credit for trust busting while his successor, Taft, who actually initiated twice as many (literally) such lawsuits, is left in the dust!
