We compare 44 President’s quotes in history to 45. This proves that Trump is inept, unqualified, unprepared, corrupt, incapable of the truth, without conscience, without honor, lacks empathy, and is truly what psychiatrists call a malignant narcissist. Our Democracy is shaking and if elected again, we and the World will be slaves to the rich and powerful. Dictatorship will follow. We will be publishing quotes from former Presidents every day for 44 straight days and compare them to 45, our current President YAHOO. We are on # 40 (forty).

Reagan was raised in a low-income family in small towns of northern Illinois. He graduated from Eureka College in 1932 and worked as a sports commentator on several regional radio stations. After moving to California in 1937, he found work as an actor and starred in a few major productions. Reagan was twice elected president of the Screen Actors Guild—the labor union for actors—where he worked to root out communist influence. In the 1950s, he moved into television and was a motivational speaker at General Electric factories, during which time he became a conservative. Reagan was a Democrat until 1962 when he switched to the Republican Party. In 1964, Reagan’s speech “A Time for Choosing” supported Barry Goldwater’s foundering presidential campaign and earned him national attention as a new conservative spokesman. Building a network of supporters, Reagan was elected governor of California in 1966. As governor, Reagan raised taxes, turned a state budget deficit to a surplus, challenged the protesters at the University of California, ordered in National Guard troops during a period of protest movements in 1969, and was re-elected in 1970. He twice ran unsuccessfully for the Republican presidential nomination, in 1968 and 1976.
In 1980, Reagan won the Republican presidential nomination and defeated the incumbent president, Jimmy Carter. At 69 years, 349 days of age at the time of his first inauguration, Reagan was the oldest person to assume the U.S. presidency, a distinction he held until 2017, when Donald Trump was inaugurated at age 70 years, 220 days. Reagan faced former vice president Walter Mondale when he ran for re-election in 1984 and defeated him, winning the most electoral votes of any U.S. president, 525, or 97.6% of the 538 votes in the Electoral College. It was the second-most lopsided presidential election in modern history.
Ronald Wilson Reagan:
“I will not make age an issue in this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent’s youth and inexperience.”
“I used to say that politics was the second-oldest profession. I have come to know that it bears a gross similarity to the first.”
“The current tax code is like a daily mugging.”
“Even Albert Einstein reportedly needed help on his 1040 form.”
“I have always stated that the nearest thing to eternal life we’ll ever see on this earth is a government program.”
“Government is not the solution, it’s the problem.”
“Regimes planted by bayonets do not take root.”
“Since I came to the White House, I got two hearing aids, a colon operation, skin cancer, and a prostate operation and I was shot. The damn thing is, I’ve never felt better in my life.”
“America is too great for small dreams.”
“Whoever would understand in his heart the meaning of America will find it in the life of Abraham Lincoln.”
