Will the United States ever see a president as great as Ronald Reagan again?

[Roaming East]

I'm no Obama fan, but all those criticisms are vapid.

If you want to criticize obama, it should be for his wars, and his Chicago gangster friends.

Yeah all his gangster friends and those investigations and convictions...oh wait, that’s REPUBLICAN administrations

 

[Daverisimo]

Love him or hate him

Reagan IS the most impactful president of the last 30+ years.

Foor good and for ill we are still dealing with the consequences and results from his decisions.

That's the point.
I don't know if there's been a president as actively harmful to the US as actively harmful to the US as Reagan. Most of the really serious problems we're facing right now, domestically and internationally, can be traced back to his administration.

Will there ever be a troll as ham handed as HatchetHarry that somehow manages to not get banned?

Yeah well, no one was really convicted for accounting fraud after the GFC either, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

 

[HatchetHarry]

You see neo-liberals sometimes praise him. Yuge difference.

The collapse of the American middle-class essentially began - and got a gigantic push off - during the Reagan years as a direct result of his economic policies. The graphs do not lie.

Reagan helped rectify issues of tax inequality for the upper class and corporations. The situation was terrible for upper class people prior to his presidency. Even today people are being punished for their success however hopefully this new tax reform fixes some of these issues.

@HatchetHarry

Reagan was a great President? Was he not going to be impeached over the Iran-Contra affair? Yeah, he knew it was wrong, but did it anyway...

 

[Shamrocker]

Margaret Thatcher loved him.

Enough said.

Reagan had one of the most dispicable and corrupt administrations of all time. It was ran by his VP, George HW Bush, who was previously the CIA director. They did really terrible things around the world while ignoring several major societal epidemics like AIDS and crack at home.

Obviously this is a troll thread but there are people who legitimately believe the OP.

He was never “going to be impeached”. Critics of the Iran contra deal complain that there was very little talk of impeachment. Reagan was never even close to being impeached and there is still speculation regarding how much he knew about the deals.

 

[KONG-D'SNT-TAP]

Ronald Reagan's Christmas card be like:

"Merry Christmas! Here's some trickle down economics and a crack epidemic!

Much love and season's greetings, from the Reagan family to you."

Union busting, war on drugs, Latin America, openly crushing the middle class


I can’t believe anyone with a straight face would say Ronnie was the best.

Washington. The only one. A true American hero. The rest all sucked or had issues.

Despicable not dispicable. Not a troll thread as these are my thoughts. They ignored the AIDS issue but his good outweighed the bad.

Reagan knew everything about the Iran-Contra deal. How could he not? Don't be naïve. I like his movies though. A better actor than he was a President, or maybe he was acting as President.

 

[Phr3121]

Washington had issues to, bruh

The wooden teeth?

 

[luckyshot]

Obama at 11? The man who doubled the deficit...

Well you’ve got Reagan in the top three and the TRIPPLED the deficit, you fucking dotard.

 

[Limbo Pete]

Ruthless land speculator

 

[HatchetHarry]

Do you care to even pretend to look at facts?

The deficit moving from 1 trillion to 3 trillion is a little different than 10 to 20 trillion. Why don’t you learn about the scope of the increase before commenting you dotard. Reagan is the greatest president of all time whether your racist self accepts it or not. The amount of Billionaires and millionaires exploded under Reagan. Nobody has done more for our population than that man.

Ruthless land speculator

Actually his fake teeth were made of human and cow teeth as well as elephant ivory. Great leader and soldier. How he managed to beat the British during the winter with a small colonial (civilian) Army is truly amazing. They don't make them like that anymore.
