...Donald Trump not only makes me miss Reagan, but he makes me miss NIXON!
Reagan was, as my father referred to him, "Senile Sam.". Nixon was as corrupt a son of a bitch rat bastard as they come. Nevertheless, as awful as their policies were, I do believe that they loved and were loyal to our country. On top of that, Nixon was likely among the most intelligent men to ever hold the office.
And then we have Donald Trump, idiot and traitor.
If my father heard me saying that I miss Tricky Dickie in any way his ashes would probably be making a storm in their urn. Hell, just saying it might put me in mine...yikes!
That's my 2 cents and quite possibly overpriced at that.
RESIST!

At least Nixon and Reagan's racism was kept behind closed doors for the most part.

It shows how far to the right our country has drifted. Fascism didn't happen overnight.
