” Sam would try to trip up the Gipper at every opportunity. At presser sure. But often on the sidelines when RR would get on Air Force 1. And Mr. Reagan would answer same in a very polite way, and often with humor rip Sam a new one.”
At Reagans birthday party, someone gave Sam Donaldson the first piece....
Sam: “ I really shouldn’t take the first piece.....some might think I sold out “
Reagan : “ Aw come on, Sam....you sold out for a lot less than that years ago “
Verbatim transcript : )
So glad you see it too. “Well Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.” Déjà vu all over again.
