82. Oh? Heard of the DuPont Coup of 1934? He was almost taken out by
a plot to overthrow him by the families who owned America's largest corporations. Only General Smedley Butler of 'War is a Racket' fame stopped it at the last minute.
FDR couldn't get armament contracts filled because the corporations were busy war-profiteering in Germany and building Hitler's war machine, Prescott Bush being one of them.
FDR was up to his ass in alligators and had to let Pearl Harbor happen to get the fascist-backed Congress to fight Hitler, a temporary stop to the fascist movement which continued to circle the seat of American power like wolves in suits and ties.
Clinton was in a similar predicament despite major appeasement and the fascists have finally totally occupied the White House.
