Trump is peddling a MYTH about Tip O'Neill - this was first peddled by Chris Matthews and debunked by everyone. Yet another example of how Trump is making people gullible.

"PAT BUCHANAN: There's a lot of myth about Tip O'Neill and Ronald Reagan working together. They did not. Ronald Reagan ...

JOHN MCLAUGHLIN, HOST: You saw the pictures.

BUCHANAN: They did not. Look, in Reagan's first term, you know who he worked with? He had a Republican Senate by ten votes, and he had a Democratic House that had 40 guys in it called Blue Dog Democrats and Danny Rostenkowski of Chicago."

Hmm, that would be a new one for me.

It seems like multiple (friendly to) Regan books keep making a note of their working relationship.

I haven’t read that new one by Matthews (likely wont), but cant hurt to learn something new on this.

I hate to break it to ya, but the people who are enamored with Trump were already gullible!
