When Truman fired Mac, there was a point when Mac found out he was getting canned and was rumored to be ready to announce he would resign. Mac had designs on the Republican presidential nomination for 1952. Truman said something to one of his close aids like "I will not allow that SOB to resign. I am going to fire his a$$!"

Truman was known for his salty language....but never in front of women!
