I mean, every president has to lie or bs to the American people to some extent. Sorta the nature of having access to some of the most top secret stuff ever. But in terms of Presidents, FDR was overall one of the better ones at keeping things real with everyone

There’s a difference between lying to protect the public and lying to manipulate the public

I would argue that lying to protect the public and lying to manipulate the public might be the same thing. Is lying about warrantless surveillance protection or manipulation?

You might be thinking of someone else. FDR was diagnosed with polio after a vacation when he was 39

Even then, he tried to make sure the public didn’t see the wheelchair. It’s possible this pic is staged and that’s why he’s leaning against the wall with a cane

He had Polio all his presidency, but since disability was treated especially poorly in his time, they often would hide around it FDR had leg braces that could allow him to essentially lock his legs into place and “stand”. And in the public appearances where he “walked” - which was more of a hobble - he would often have Eleanor there walking beside him arms together to sorta mask he was actually reliant on her

He actually made a deal with the press since - in media circles - it was an open secret. All the pictures and footage they wanted as long as it was never of him walking or standing up/sitting down. You can look at archives, there’s very very few pictures of him in his wheelchair or of him hobbling, because any press photographer who tried to get a picture would literally have their camera snatched from their hands and stomped on by the secret service

Huh doesn’t that mean he’d have polio regardless then if he’d gotten it as a child or at 39?
