DAVE GIL DE RUBIO JOSEPH SCOTCHIE
jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com This is the conclusion of our overview of Empire State Presidents that we started last week.
Theodore Roosevelt
A native of New York City and one of the most ambitious men America has ever produced, Roosevelt’s rise was stunning: Harvard graduate, New York City Police Commissioner, New York Governor, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Vice President and then, Chief Executive. As with Chester Arthur, Roosevelt also became president after an assassination: That of William McKinley, a beloved Civil War veteran. Roosevelt won a landslide re-election in 1904. He was succeeded by a fellow Republican, William Howard Taft. Roosevelt was frustrated with Taft. He mounted the third party Bull Moose campaign in 1912, splitting the GOP vote and paving the way for the presidency of Woodrow Wilson. As president, Roosevelt won the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in ending the Russo-Japanese War, he sent the U.S. Navy fleet in an around-the-world show of American force and he became the first president to visit foreign soil when he traveled to Central America to inspect the progress of the Panama Canal construction. He also ended up on Mount Rushmore. During his presidency, the United States surpassed Great Britain in having the world’s largest economy. “Thank God I am not a free trader!” Roosevelt reportedly blurted out when told the news. He was president when a protectionist GOP dominated American politics, while the British embarked upon a global mission of free trade.
Franklin Roosevelt
A distant cousin of Teddy Roosevelt, the 32nd president has ended up on the silver-coined dime. The twentieth century remains a contest between Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson as its most important president. Roosevelt’s rise was also meteoric. A graduate of Harvard, Roosevelt nursed a lifelong grudge at not being elected to its prestigious Porcelain Club. Along the way, Roosevelt was a State Senator, an Assistant Secretary of the Navy, a defeated Vice Presidential candidate, a Governor of New York and finally, the Democrats’ winning nominee for President in 1932. After re-election in 1936, Roosevelt, in 1940, broke precedent by running for—and winning—a third term. Controversy over the Dec. 7, 1941 Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor has never abated. Did Roosevelt know of the attack? Was it more destructive than he imagined? The man went from “Dr. New Deal” to “Dr. Win the War.” The architect of the modern welfare state, commander-in-chief during history’s greatest war and the patron saint of American liberalism, Roosevelt died in office in 1944, while serving in his fourth term. Roosevelt’s death left a nation in mourning. A generation of Americans could not imagine anyone else as President. It was left to FDR’s successor, Harry Truman, to win World War II and try to secure the postwar peace.
Donald Trump
In 1966, California surpassed New York as the nation’s most populous state. By 2016, New York had dropped to fourth place, behind not just California, but now Texas and Florida. It didn’t seem possible that the Empire State would produce another
president. The failed presidency of George W. Bush left the “Sun Belt” era of 1968 to 2008 in ruin. And so, 2016 saw two New Yorkers: Donald Trump, a Queens native, and Hillary Clinton, an Illinois transplant, vying for the presidency. For decades, Trump was a real estate mogul who dominated the gossip pages. No one took his political aspirations seriously. Trump won a surprise victory in 2016, before losing his re-election bid in 2020, an election that he maintains was stolen. Trump may or may not run again in 2024. His legacy so far remains an attempt to bring the GOP back to its America First roots of Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge JENNIFER and the appointment of three conservative justices to the Supreme Court. CORR And so, an impressive—and historic— roster. Van Buren, Fillmore, Arthur and jcorr@antonmediagroup.com Cleveland all proved that one can be a good president without being a war president. Franklin Roosevelt’s position is secure, even though the man still has his critics. Theodore Roosevelt, however, has suffered the Biblical fate of the prophet without honor. His family suffered greatly for this nation: Roosevelt was a veteran of the Spanish-American War, his son, Quentin, died in combat in World War I. CHRISTY Undaunted, Roosevelt’s oldest son, Theodore Junior, at age 57, commanded a brigade at HINKO the June 6, 1944 D-Day landing. If Roosevelt makes the news these days, it is not for chinko@antonmediagroup.com heroism. An equestrian statue of the man in front of the Museum of Natural History, one constructed as a tribute to racial harmony, was recently dismantled and shipped to far-off North Dakota. Roosevelt is honored in his adopted hometown of Oyster Bay with the Sagamore Hill house. A statue of him was erected in front of the Nassau County legislature building in Mineola. Unlike New York City, Nassau County holds the line.
