It was reported when President Reagan was going into surgery after the attempted assassination in 1981, that he asked the surgeon if he was a Republican....or a Democrat..don’t remember which he said but that was funny!!
Reagan said to the medical crew who attended him at admission, “I hope you’re all Republicans.”
When Ronald Reagan made little quips and clever remarks, I was fine with it, because he did so at appropriate moments, and the fact that he didn’t always take himself seriously, I saw it as the act of a very secure and confident person.
No frantic, Chihuahua like rages, the kind Joe Biden used to do.
