Rooster

Plain-talking, combative, and fiercely proud of his patch.

Harry Truman was famous for his blunt, no-nonsense style — 'The buck stops here' and 'If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen' are quintessential rooster declarations. He crowed loudly and defiantly, most famously refusing to accept defeat in 1948 and delighting in the 'Dewey Defeats Truman' moment. He commanded his tight political community through sheer vocal force and combative pride, never backing down and always expecting to be heard.
