Completely agree with this. Reagan was a uniter. They called him the "Great Communicator" for a reason. Whether or not you agreed with his policies, he was an inspiring President.

Temperament wise, Trump is much more of a Harding or a Nixon than a Reagan.

One absurd statement after another from you.

The unemployment rate in 1925 was 3.3%.

Inequality? 1900, when it was possible to work 60 hours a week and barely make enough to feed a normal family.

The more Trump antagonizes The Left, the more they will show their ass, the way they did at State of Union.

And the more they show their ass, the more voters they will lose. People are simply not attracted to
childish temper tantrums.

I don't expect you to read it, and I don't mean that disparagingly, but you should look at the charts at the end.

I assume you are talking about Trump going on his daily Twitter rampage. So why are you so attracted to his childish behavior.

Unless you were gay and had AIDS. Or just gay.

No it was one trivial attack after another, not unlike the liberal media does today with Trump.

Don't blame the media for going after Trump. Trump goes after any who dares defy him. He goes after his own party and cabinet.

Well, given interest rates now, there isn't really much they could do if the economy is going to tank. Their power can only go so far.

I see.

So Reagan didn’t refuse to even acknowledge the AIDS epidemic until it was in full swing and didn’t have a problem with the gay community?
