Apples to oranges comparison.

President Reagan never had the computing tool Musk does

President Reagan had a Cold War with Soviet Russia to win after almost a decade of abject surrender to Soviet expansionism and neglect of the US Military

President Regan never had a GOP House to help cover his backside.

OK, fair enough. But the size of the non-military federal workforce grew under Reagan and that’s just a fact. By about 95,000 workers. And the national debt tripled but who’s counting that?

Reagan seldom vetoed any spending bills. Speaker O’Neill played Reagan like a puppet. Any simple search of government spending for each fiscal year will show federal spending TRIPLED during Reagan’s 8 years. That said Reagan was a likable president.

And Reagan wasn’t Steele Dossiered..

Trump’s mandate comes from his own govt declaring war on him when he was still a private citizen coming down an escalator in 2015.

Hoax impeachments, Wuhan Coup Flu, stolen election added to the list of FAFO.

Trump has a mandate to obliterate the Deep State and drain a swamp.

A war that he has to end on his terms or we start killing each other if the Deep State and swamp FAFO and kill Trump on their terms.

The nation is on a warp speed because the govt FAFO started way back in 2015 on a private citizen who wasn’t a fan of the co owned Swamp D or Swamp R teams

Reagan won the Cold War but lost the Old Jar.
