So far he is much better than Reagan. Ronnie was an idiot when it came to the Mideast, and fell for Jew-hating James Baker’s lies about Israel. He also massively betrayed us on the border.
No government union has gone on an illegal strike like PATCO did during Reagan. Who is Trump supposed to fire?
He hasn’t developed a major type of beneficial treaty (START)
The NORKs abandoning nuclear weapons is certainly strategic arms reduction. And unlike START it isn't requiring us to reduce our forces
or had years of economic prosperity
The Reagan boom didn't even begin until August 1982. At least you should wait until Trump has been in office for an equal length of time.
or reduced interest rates by many points under great economic conditions
Reagan took office in January 1981- the U.S. Prime Interest Rate was 20.50. When Reagan left office the U.S. Prime Interest Rate was 10.50
Trump took office with the Prime at 4.50. It is currently at 4.75.
When you figure out how the Prime can go down 10% points from here in order to equal the Reagan drop then let us know.
You have to be kidding.
That’s worse than he’s another Reagan.
Washington was a damn sight better in character, and at the time they knew just how great he was and wrote it with HIM in mind.
Bear in mind that Reagan always had to work with Dem majorities. No matter what you think of today’s Rep majorities.
He is the first coming of Trump.
Well, we sure waited long enough.
