Here's the entire Reagan speech, what point do you think Reagan was trying to make?  Pro Free Trade?  Pro Protectionism?  More nuanced?

 

 

I read the transcript, and I find nothing wrong with Ontario's take on Reagan the Free Trader. It was one of his proudest accomplishments. There's nothing in Reagan's history of the occasional use of tariffs in particular sectors that would justify the rise of a nominally Republican Tarriff Man.

By the way, a hissy fit like Trump's latest is now "masculine?"

I never really have an issue with a political campaign using a song to generate excitement, but some artists take issue with it.  I think we need to defer to the Ronald Reagan Foundation who has a much different take than you do.  And yikes...$75,000,000 in ad buys to influence the American political system?  Less than the Russians, I suppose, but still.

Continuing his legacy.
 Sharing his principles.

As the sole nonprofit organization created by President Reagan, we are charged with advancing his legacy and principles – individual liberty, economic opportunity, freedom and democracy, peace through strength, and national pride.

How does this suggest that Reagan wasn't a free trade advocate?

 

The problem here is that some part of what remains of Trump's brain still wants to claim he's a Republican and the successor to the most successful Republican President since Teddy Roosevelt. He isn't.

That could be the larger problem as you see it.  The problem here seems to be an attempt at deception by members of the Canadian government and the fallout that has ensued.
