It took Reagan a bit to recognize who his real friends were and who is enemy’s were.
He never did fully understand the danger of the Bush Family.
Eventually he took his case to The People and bypassed the Swamp and the MSM.
This is going to be Trump’s only path to full victory.
I will submit to you that by the time Reagan caught on the media and Congress effectively neutered him with Iran-Contra, which stopped him from fulfilling his agenda.
