he also was a total weirdo who like went on dates with his mommy his whole adult life until she died. like I don't mean he was close with his mom in an endearing way. i mean, it was like Buster and Lucille Bluth type shit. she was his constant companion everywhere he went, including his time at the military academy where she watched him march and inspected him every day. she drove away both of his wives. when he was little (the youngest of 3 boys) she made him grow his hair long and wear skirts. honestly, the stories are super weird.

also, he was probably more aggressively and vocally racist than hitler with his role in WW2 and Korea and really, really wanted to be the fascist dictator of america but bungled it and got sidelined by being too overtly hawkish in public.

i think of him like a serial killer who was managed to become a general in war time.
