In his 82 or 83 days as vice president, truman met alone with the president of the united states a mere two times. He didn't even mention to the vice president that they'd been working on a secret weapon he might now inherit. It's borderline negligent. And truman is no roosevelt. F you're going to take over in war time, like to think you have some really august figure. Actually, the end stages of the second world war not a good time to be one of the leaders for either side.
