President Truman believed that political change would come to the Soviet Union due to the inherent contradictions within its communist system and the pressures of economic challenges. He thought that the Soviet regime's repressive tactics could not sustain itself indefinitely, especially as the populace sought greater freedoms and improvements in living standards. Additionally, Truman hoped that the influence of democratic ideals and the economic success of the West would inspire change within the USSR over time.

General MacArthur interfered with political decisions of President Truman
Truman wasn't president in Potsdam. FDR was still president and sick at the time.
One of the post-war developments that caused President Truman to issue the Truman Doctrine was the expansion of Soviet influence in Eastern Europe. Truman was concerned about the spread of communism and believed it was necessary to prevent the further Soviet expansion by providing military and economic assistance to countries threatened by communism.

General MacArthur interfered with political decisions of President Truman
After meeting with Soviet leader Joseph Stalin and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill at the Potsdam Conference in 1945, President Harry Truman believed that maintaining a strong stance against the Soviet Union was necessary. He saw the Soviets as a potential threat and wanted to contain their influence and expansion through a policy known as containment, which later became a cornerstone of his foreign policy approach during the Cold War.
President Roosevelt related decrypted Soviet information on the Verona intercepts to Vice-President Truman when he took office.
ALL OF THE ABOVE :)
I believe it was the military.
President Johnson held the belief that former US President, Harry Truman had the authority to deploy US troops abroad to protect American interests. He had defended Truman's decision to do this in 1950. Johnson did believe however, that Truman made a mistake by not requesting a congressional resolution to do so. What is of extreme importance in this was that Johnson believed that Truman made a political mistake, it was not a constitutional error.
Yes, President Truman was a Democrat. He served as the 33rd President of the United States from 1945 to 1953 and was a member of the Democratic Party throughout his political career.
