Harry Truman wore many hats during his life — literally! Stetsons were a favorite of the president, wearing them during his daily walks from the White House.
Happy #NationalHatDay!

Appropriation.

Some responses:

Please go to work.

Wearing a hat doesn’t make you Truman.

You cannot hold a candle to President Truman! What a loser!

Not even close.

History keeps repeating itself because we’re too stupid to learn from the past (hat tip to Elmo at They gave us a republic…):

Harry S Truman: …If the congressional elements that made the Taft Hartley law are allowed to remain in power and if these elements are further encouraged by the election of a Republican president you men of labor can expect to be hit by steady barrage of body blows. And if you stay at home as you did in nineteen forty-six and keep these reactionaries in power you’ll deserve every blow you get…

Uh, yep.
