Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.

People didn’t like his handling of the Korean War - in particular, they didn’t like his firing of General MacArthur.

Yep. This plus turbofatigue after two decades of Democratic rule (with a trifecta for all but two years of that).

It was only towards the very end of Truman's life and especially after his death in 1972 that reassessment set in and he began to be regarded as an above-average President.
