Quoting in picture form is meaningless. For all we know he was 12 when he said that. But he isn't the president.
3 months ago, Scaramucci touted Eisenhower's quote that making guns is akin to stealing food from hungry people. “Every gun made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense,a theft from those who hunger and are not fed" Ike

"The Mooch" is a cherry-picking idiot. He cherry-picked one sentence out of an entire speech by Ike to spread a specific anti-Constitutional agenda. It was not what Ike was speaking about.
Here is President Eisenhower's "Chance for Peace" speech in total:
Dwight D. Eisenhower: Address "The Chance for Peace" Delivered Before the American Society of Newspaper Editors.
Note that Ike admits that the Soviets are aggressively hostile and militant. The crux of his speech is to attempt negotiations with the Soviets to reduce armaments on
both sides.
NOT, as LWers want to do, just disarm
our side.
His speech has nothing to do with Second Amendment rights nor of depriving Americans either their natural right of self-defense nor to render the US helpless before an aggressive enemy.
