President McKinley’s words are reflected in President Trumps’ policies.
President William McKinley had guided America out of a recession and through a successful war.
When his vice president met an untimely death, Theodore Roosevelt was chosen to be his running mate in the election of 1900.
Despite McKinley’s successes, a deranged anarchist would bring his second term to a tragic end.
