== Willkie ==

FDR and Willkie had discussed the formation of a hybrid party ahead of the 1944 election. However, Willkie had died before anything could be made final. ] (]) 14:57, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

== Claim that FDR plotted to murder several FBI agents. ==

I know Mark Dice is not a reliable source, and neither is YouTube, but I just thought that for the sake of completeness, I should mention this on this talk page.

For what it's worth Mark Dice claims that some files associated with J Edgar Hoover show that FDR plotted to cause the deaths of several FBI agents, because they knew too much about Eleanor's alleged infidelity. I don't believe this for a second, but a definitive debunking would be welcomed by me, and perhaps should be considered for inclusion in the article.

In his YouTube video, "Here's What Trump Is Up Against Now, And It's NOT Pretty!" (The Misplaced Pages software won't let me link to YouTube.)

Mark Dice says, according to the transcript:
"

President Roosevelt was it was believed

== Racial disparityist? ==

Roosevelt is a person with significant achievements, but he also had negative aspects. He may have held racially discriminatory beliefs.

In a private conversation with the British Ambassador to the United States, Ronald Hugh Campbell, he asserted that 'the Japanese skull is about 2,000 years behind us in development,' and he told Campbell, 'Once we defeat Japan, we should encourage intermarriage with other races by all means to evolve their backward brains.


Thorne, Christopher G. (1979). Allies of a kind: the United States, Britain, and the war against Japan, 1941-1945. Oxford University Press. pp. 158-159,167-168.


The existence of Japanese internment camps in the United States and in countries in Central and South America under U.S. influence may have been driven by racially discriminatory beliefs. How evaluate ones this is a matter of personal choice, but at the very least, it is desirable to leave Roosevelt's statements as material for discussion. ] (]) 05:15, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

:To put things bluntly, it's quite obvious that FDR was racist; the internment camps alone prove the guy was prejudiced against the Japanese. Your quotes only add more evidence for this. What I'm not sure of is where to implement such words. ] (] / ]) 05:48, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

== Territories controlled by the Allies and Axis Of Power ==

In the description about FDR’s presidency 1933-45, the second image of territory control during WW2 does not mention “territory controlled by” making Norway look as if it was part of the Axis Of Power. It most certainly was not and was only occupied by the Axis. Please add the additional information. Thanks. ] (]) 01:25, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
:: Map is accurate. It shows territory controlled by Axis. Germany had full control of Norway, with a Quisling government. ] (]) 03:41, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Hey {{u|Nikkimaria}}, if I may ask, what was your reasoning for removing the mention of the ] in your ? Since there is no edit summary explanation, I thought it best to ask here.


According to the White House: "In 1928 Roosevelt became Governor of New York." Not 1929,yet this article says 1929.https://www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-white-house/presidents/franklin-d-roosevelt/ ] (]) 18:31, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

the line "In ], he ], one entire term before the ]." Seems either oddly worded or outright misleading.

I will note, even the U.S. government acknowledged his death overshadowing the tornado (2nd source).

why is the ] not included in the article? I remember there was some discussion regarding presidential templates, but its still there for other presidents I checked?

Also, is there a reason why FDR has no separate legacy or public image article like most recent presidents? This article is more readable than some modern ones but some sections could really use more detail explored in a separate article.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Franklin D. Roosevelt, also known as FDR, was the 32nd president of the United States, serving from 1933 until his death in 1945. The longest-serving U.S. president, he is the only president to have served more than two terms. His initial two terms were centered on combating the Great Depression, while his third and fourth saw him shift his focus to America's involvement in World War II.
