The Parallel Presidents: Reagan And Trump
New American Prophet ^ | September 9, 2024 | Jeff Crouere

All Americans should see the outstanding movie Reagan, playing in theaters nationwide. It depicts the life of one of America’s greatest Presidents, Ronald Reagan. The movie has grossed $18.5 million over two weekends, ranking #3 among all movies at the box office.

These impressive results were “better than expected,” but no thanks to the insufferable movie reviewers who hated the film. Conversely, audiences loved the movie, giving it an astounding 98% positive reviews. As conservative commentator Megyn Kelly noted, the American moviegoers refused to “listen” to the elitist “left-wing critics” who tried to “kill” the movie.

Those lefty reviewers are whining to their boyfriends about the evil Republicans as they break out the gerbils.

Reagan, Palin, and Trump saw incredible media hate and negative coverage, Nixon should probably be on that list of shocking media hatred as well.

From the article.
“Reagan triumphed despite media coverage in his first term that was rated 13-1 negative. In his re-election campaign, his opponent received mostly positive press, while Reagan had to endure media coverage that was 10-1 negative.”

Very different times and characters
Today we are opposite of the Dems, no shared values, no common goals. They claim to love this country but disparage the Constitution, our traditions, and our heritage. There’s always room for improvement but they want to burn it all down and start over. (PS Say No to globalism)

My daughter and I went into Cinemax El Centro, CA. Strangely the A/C was off or out of order. Despite that we sat waiting for the film to begin. 15 minutes later we complained to the manager, the film apparently was not set up to begin. We got a refund and left. Incidentally, we were the only two persons in the theatre.

“””We saw Reagan in Tyler, TX yesterday. Theater was packed!”””

That is where HW Bush was giving a speech on November 22, 1963.

We saw the movie this afternoon. Excellent. In a relatively short amount of time, they were able to pack in a lot of information. Incorporated many of his famous quotes. Voigt narrated as the “omniscient character” in literature and did a great job. (Omniscient characters usually are fictional, but Voigt played an actual person.)

If the subject of the movie weren’t Reagan, there would be a few nominations/wins for Academy Awards, but we know that won’t happen.
