Nixon was a paranoid crook Reagan was an old, senile, actor. Ford was a clutz. Bush was a war loving cowboy. Trump is a moronic racist! Do you recognize the pattern?

I can only go back that far. Expand Reagan was my first memory as President and I thought he was as smooth as they come. He took the criticism like a boss and fought back with dry human. I hated Bush number one I actually like Bill Clinton. I hated Bush number 2. And Obama was the worst President this country ever saw, but you would never know it if you followed MSM. Trump fights back against these MSM morons and makes me laugh while doing it, so there is never a dull moment. My parents told me I met Trump as a kid and I idolized him, but I don't remember it at all, so I don't buy it that my parents told me this.
SoCal Deek Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 Njbuff My list says nothing about my personal feelings about any of those Presidents. I was too young to form an informed opinion of half of them. But you can’t argue with my brief recap of how each was characterized by the national media and by default what our public school teachers told us about each one. I think you’ll agree it’s too long of a list to be a coincidence. 1
