"Give me that, or I'm going over there!"

after manifest destiny was secured in our own country, he "realized'' expansion was "necessary" to sell all the goods the industrial revolution helped us churn out

read "The Imperial Cruise" to see how he set the stage for Japanese expansion, considering them yellow aryans, the inscrutables in the Far East with whom we could deal.

that's just the tip of the iceberg. he might've been even more insane than what we're stuck with now

lots and lots of largely ignored analysis on that mendacioius/self-promoting/monstrous/MURDEROUS/bully/creep. one slight difference between him and that fat, bloated draft dodger hiding under his desk is that TR appears to not have been the physical coward that the current offal office resident clearly is.
