Question

Why was President Truman considered to be weak on communism despite the federal government’s measures to investigate communists?

Answer 1

A: Fear of communism had reached a level that bordered on hysteria, and Truman's actions did little to make it go away.

Happy to help. :)

Answer 2

Because he strongly opposed oaths of mandatory loyalty to government employees, he was accused of being a weak ruler and his government very soft. In addition, after his election he could only fulfill one of his proposals for a government plan. He was a calm and unpretentious president.
