Actually he did.. Remember we had a very lengthy Vietnam War ending with a nasty defeat, followed by Watergate which revealed an extensive crime network under Nixon, followed by another pair of presidential blunders - "Pardon me" Ford and of course Jimmy Carter. After what had happened in the 20 or so years prior to Reagan taking office, his 1980 campaign was music to the ears of demoralized Americans. He restored faith in the presidency and restored American confidence - Hence his high approval ratings, and his post-murtom climb to the #9 spot on the best presidents of all time list.
All smoke-and-mirrors celebrity shine. He was a transparent self-entitled and deeply ignorant phony. The only faith and confidence he restored was to the wealthy. Primarily by handing the country over to them. He was a jackass.

You can throw a fit all you like.. But we both know you would be humming a different tune if there was a little D next to his name.

I could give two hoots about what this airport is called. However, my SO absolutely refuses to call it Washington Reagan. Will not, full stop. The reason being is nothing to do with Reagan hate and more to do with when the renaming came about. Reps voted to rename the airport before he was dead. A detail which is against all protocol for naming things in DC. Thus, her refusal to call it that. Moreover, they said they were going to name it after a president back when this happened and it was named after a President already; was before Reagan's name was ever added.
All that aside, a reputable source or two might be helpful and not one that includes a he said, she said, he heard. It's a bloody rumor that doesn't even give direct quotes or list real people. Before you (OP) go running around playing Henny Penny try to have some perspective on your source, will you?
Not everyone thinks Reagan was a great or even a good president.
You'd be surprised how many people saw through the BS and viewed him as a bad actor from Hollywood who continued his career as a bad actor in the White House.
Had there never been a Reagan, there would never have been a Bush.
Now there's a pleasant thought.
If Regan was a bad actor then that makes Obama the Thief in the Night?
Anyone that would steal money out of your children's and grandchildren's piggy banks is just lower than pond scum. Better known as a scumsucker.

Dang right! These hearsay threads are just wastes of space!
Reagan did not end the Cold War. And he restored no national "sense of self respect after Vietnam." Are you kidding me?
Of course, the Soviet Union ended the Cold War. They surrendered, broke apart, as a result of our bankrupting them in the arms race. So, you wanna give the South credit for ending the Civil War, too?
