Has anyone told them although he is considered a Republican, he would probably have very little in common with Trump's Republican party.

He left the Republican Party and joined the Progressive Party.

He was also a trust buster in some cases.

I saw the film The Longest Day recently.

Henry Fonda, played his son in that movie and he stormed the beaches on D-Day and despite having arthritis, he refused to use that as excuse to avoid combat.
