Ronald Reagan: “Our peaceful trading partners are not our enemies; they are our allies.
We should beware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends—weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.”

You all sold Saint Ronnie to your base and made him a mythical GOP “super hero”, when he was, in fact, was a raging narcissist, openly racist, and tried to help end all homosexuals?
Sound familiar at all?
I’m reposting Reagan and it sounds pretty good, OMG!!

It's not necessary to invoke dead presidents to understand that Trump is a conman bullying other nations.
#Trumpconman
And he was 10 times smarter than the orange felon, even after Alzheimer’s
Have you had enough of Donny and his fascism yet?

Trump is brain dead with isolationist oligarchs running the show.
"If a person I don't like says it, then I reject it."
The Republican Party of Ronald Reagan has bloomed into where it was headed all along and no longer needs or worships him. There’s a new king in town.
This is going to be the beginning of what starts to separate Trump supporters from Trump.
They're going to see prices skyrocket in every direction. They know there's been no executive order signed to help the average American with their bills.
Because they will never want to admit they WERE WRONG
Oh and don't forget regular sales tax will also increase...
$100 * .06 (tax) = $6.00 sales tax
$100 * 1.25 (tariff) * .06 (tax) = $7.50 sales tax
$106 becomes $132.50
Idaho sales tax = 6%
Same wit my sisters family.
We’re off to Zihuatanejo Mexico in March. My sister and family have booked Costa Rica.
First they came for...
someone other than our profits

Well fuck me running, never could 1980s me imagine Rat Fucker von Shitzhispants.
Working class consumers are effed.
Listening to that clip he sounds like an affable genius compared to Trump
Don't let trump fool you!
I just learned this today. If this precedent were set, theoretically Biden could have given amnesty before he left? What an asshole.
You helped get us here. Eat shit, you gutless turds.
Somehow he anticipated the rise of a dangerous demagog like Trump all the way back in 1988.

Either you're fucking some - or they are fucking you.
The concept of a mutual beneficial relationship is inconceivable to him.
Surely Trump, Reagan (and Lincoln) can’t be from the same party as their views, policies and values are in direct opposition?
And unfortunate.

Those tiny brains would short-circuit, but they need to hear the truth. They were bamboozled by a two-bit con man felon working for a foreign enemy government. Guess which one?! Hint: Reagan went toe-to-toe with them.
He started the ball rolling when he killed the Fairness Doctrine. Without it, Limbaugh and all the Right Wing Extremists got a platform with no constraints.
He was always a propaganda shill. "We should beware of demagogues" motherfucker gave them the keys.

I remember how inexpensive clothes started flooding the stores in the 1980s because of his efforts to open up free trade with countries in Asia.
Making Reagan, WSJ, Rubio & McConnell look good in comparison.

George Will does not exist.
This is probably the most intelligent comment Reagan ever made.
The McKinley tariffs Trump professes to love were disasters. Had to be repealed in <2yrs.
Trump prob said America was great in 1896 bcz it was when McKinley was elected. But the tariffs were 1890!
It's. Insane.
But he still had MORE decorum. He fucked up everything and STILL has more decorum.
What. In. The. FUCK.
😱
Harding had a hush money scandal, had corruption throughout his entire cabinet (from the teapot dome to the VA scandal).

What stopped him from completing his term?
A massive fucking heart attack in 1923 while he was campaigning to keep his job.
Yet Trump is actually worse than him. May they share the same fate.
He definitely started the elitism and the lack of care for middle America.
