Good to hear from you, Mr. President, and good to know you’ve become quite the Star Wars fan out there in the Great Beyond. I’ll bet it chaps your ass that while Trump bankrupted six of his businesses before twice becoming President, he was known as a business genius thanks to a thing down here we call a reality show. Whereas you were a highly successful businessman who went on to lead food relief organizations that saved millions of lives in places like Belgium and (yes) the Soviet Union, efforts that are completely forgotten thanks to that economy fucking (more like exacerbating, but let’s not get technical) you described here. All best to you and Mrs. Hoover (what kind of name is Lou Henry, anyway?), and I hope your time in eternity has convinced you that FDR and the New Deal weren’t so bad after all.

While skimming the Wkp entry that you linked to, ostensibly to show us the results of the 1932 election, I came across your real reason for linking: you wanted to show us that a relative was a VP candidate that year, amirite?
