US Presidential Election 2020: The son of a cobbler

 Donald Trump is the 45th President of the United States, but did you know that he is the only President of the United States who is a billionaire in terms of personal wealth and his assets are estimated at two and a half billion dollars. US presidential election elect member If you look at the personal wealth of other American presidents in the same way, most of them were millionaires.

Second only to Donald Trump is George Washington, the first president of the United States, whose wealth was more than  580 million today.

Most of the founding fathers of Thomas Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt, Andrew Jackson, and the founding fathers of the United States came from wealthy families.

If we talk about Bill Clinton today, his personal wealth is about 75 million and like most presidents, he did not inherit this wealth but he earned it himself.

But there have been some presidents in American history who have lived in extreme poverty all their lives, or at least their lives began in extreme poverty, and there are two presidents who are considered the most important presidents in American history.

Harry S .Truman

US Presidential election elect Poor president who distributes billions:

Harry S. Truman was the 33rd President of the United States and served from 1945 to 1953. After World War II, when Europe was devastated, Truman devised a martial plan through which the United States revived the devastated economies of Western Europe. He also founded NATO, the world's largest military alliance at the time.

Harry Truman is the only man in history who ordered an atomic bomb dropped on the enemy.

But surprisingly, such a successful president who has given billions of dollars to the world is personally considered the poorest president in American history.

Harry Truman's poverty can be gauged from the fact that when he left the presidency, he did not have enough money to buy a house and had to go to his mother-in-law's house with his wife.

Harry Truman's father was a farmer in the state of Missouri. When Harry began his career, he did some small jobs in the beginning, including a clerk in the mailroom of a newspaper and a job in a bank.

He also worked on his father's farm but he used to say that he wanted to earn more than a farmer's income. In 1917 he joined the National Guard.

After the military, when Truman returned and invested after World War I, none of his efforts was successful. Together with a military friend, he opened a men's clothing store that did not work. He started a mineral and oil business but failed.

Truman then entered politics with the help of military friends. In 1923 he won the election of a judge in Jackson County. The position was mostly administrative, and in his spare time he attended Kansas City Law School, but never received a law license in his lifetime.

By the time Harry Truman left the presidency, he had squandered his personal savings on unsuccessful businesses. After the presidency, his only source of income was his army pension, which was 2 112 (about  1,000 today) a month. He sometimes taught at a university and sometimes at a other university.

Despite the difficulties, Harry Truman turned down several corporate jobs. Truman is thought to have survived an earlier attempt to oust him following Mr. Jiang's intervention.

In the end, Harry Truman was awarded a contract to write his autobiography, which was worth  670,000, but two-thirds of it went to taxes, and after deducting expenses, Harry Truman had only about  40,000 left.

In 1958, five years after Harry Truman left the White House, the US Congress passed the Farmer's President's Act, which provides for privileges for former presidents. It included a 25,000 pension for former presidents for the first time.

It is said that the US Congress did this in view of the financial difficulties of Harry Truman. Only one other former president, Herbert Hoover, was wealthy at the time, and he did not need a pension.

But former President Hoover also began receiving the pension so that Harry Truman would not be embarrassed. Although Harry Truman never went bankrupt, he spent most of his life in debt.

Cobbler's son President:

Abraham Lincoln is often named the greatest president in American history. He won the civil war for the liberation of black people in the United States and saved the country from disintegration.

But the childhood of such a great president was spent in extreme poverty. Lincoln's father was a small farmer. He owned a small plot of land in Kentucky, where he ran his own farm. When Lincoln was two years old, his father lost a lawsuit over his land and did not have the farm.

The Lincoln family moved to Indiana on that occasion. Due to lack of money, his father built an illegal cabin on government land and Lincoln grew up in the same house. Abraham Lincoln attended school for only one year of his life, and his other education was at the hands of his stepmother, Sarah Johnston.

Lincoln's childhood was spent on a poor farm where life was not easy and he spent his days working as a laborer with his father. He tried many small businesses in his youth.

In his 20s, he opened a general store, which failed miserably because his business partner died and the entire credit for opening the store fell on Lincoln.

But Abraham Lincoln's personality was full of struggles.

At this point, Lincoln began studying law himself and lifted himself out of poverty. He became one of the most successful lawyers in the state. Later, when he entered politics, the same courageous personality helped him save America.

Such courage probably comes from extreme poverty.

But obviously, despite his successful advocacy and successful state politics in New York, Abraham Lincoln cannot be counted among the nobles, and the elites of the time did not like the fact that he came from a poor family to be our president. When Abraham Lincoln became president, his father was a shoemaker.

When Lincoln went to the Senate to deliver his first speech, a man shouted at him before the speech, "Mr. Lincoln, don't forget that your father made shoes for me and my family." Hearing this, the Senate began to laugh.

Abraham Lincoln replied, "I know my father used to make shoes for you in your house." There will be others (for whom my father made shoes) and the reason is that no one else can make shoes like my father. He was an inventor. His shoes were not just shoes, but he put his whole soul into them. I want to ask you if you have any complaints. Because I also come to make shoes, if you have a complaint I will make you a new pair. To my knowledge, no one has ever complained about my father's shoes. He was a genius inventor, creator. I am proud to my father. "
