That's gotta be some feat for FDR to do seeing as how he had assumed room temperature years prior to Wal-Mart's founding.
".....the Wal-Mart of the day....."
I think the ill-begotten ass was thinking of Montgomery Ward, which in 1944 was seized under orders of Franklin Roosevelt for resisting compliance with labor union rules; the then-president of the company, an old and crippled man, was carried out of his office, soldiers holding him on his office chair, making for a famous news-photograph.
It was labor dispute, not a political dispute having anything to do with waging the war.
It happened in late 1944; some months later, right after Harry Truman became president, normalcy was restored.
