His brief 2-year Governorship is marked by a flurry of busy-body activity in
which TR casts himself as the champion of “little guy” against the big bad
corporations. Like his mythical charge into the imaginary gunfire of San Juan
Hill, this simplistic narrative is based on smoke and bullshit. In reality, TR was a
wholly-owned creation of the very Wall Street Finance Kings that he claims to
be crusading against.
The other notable, and typical, development of TR’s Governorship was the very
strange innovation of holding press conferences not on a weekly basis; not on a
daily basis, but twice each day! Ostensibly, this was done to “stay connected
with the middle-class”. In reality, the two-a-day pressers serve as further
evidence that TR is a self-obsessed, attention-seeking megalomaniac who should
never have been allowed anywhere near the levers of state power.
Then, as now, the gullible public loves a “war hero”. TR shamelessly rode his
fictitious battlefield heroism into the Governorship of New York.
