MAGA blah blah

Just from Trump's actions alone, you can tell they don't understand how a properly functioning country's economy operates.

Not like our collapsed government

+1 but let's be real, MAGA are the real RINOs. They are populists.

Historically, populism has lead to communism in other countries - Cuba, Russia..

It's funny...MAGA and Trump claim to hate Mamdani, but his economic policies are closer to Trump's policies than they are any normal economic policy.

They said around 30% of Mamdani voters also voted for Trump. Why? Because they are overpromising the same thing.

Why would permission be needed? Reagan made comments publicly while president and there is no need for permission to use the content of his words because they are in the public domain.

They didn't get my permission either!

Doesn’t matter. The story has already gone viral. Can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube.

And what Reagan said is true. Tariffs are bad. Reagan only used them in a very narrow, focused and strategic way and was reluctant to even use them at all, as opposed to Trump gleefully, ignorantly, randomly slobbering tariffs everywhere.

Not only did he love immigrants - including ones who weren’t white - he also held permissive views on illegal aliens and ultimately passed amnesty legislation, something he would certainly be in favor of now given the negative impact on our economy of mass deportation.

Here’s a gem from the 1980 presidential primary debates between Reagan and his opponent/later VP, George Bush the elder. This clip is something I’m sure MAGA wishes they could burn from the history books and probably will once they begin the cleansing under the ministry of truth.

Nope they are in the cult! The good thing is this will speed up the removal of zombie Reaganism. Trump can now rename all the thing named after Reagan to Trump.

On a related note, isn't funny how Republicans love to claim the authority of being the ideological heirs and spokespeople of people who conveniently aren't available to refute their lies? They can't handle a debate with anyone who can reply.

What a baby. He increased the amount of tariffs on Canada because he was butthurt with the Reagan video by a Conservative government of Ontario. Ford is as Conservative as it gets, and Reagan is his hero.

Trump will never be as respected as Reagan and it gets under his skin.

The big baby

Not quite. Trump is promising the same results Mamdani is promising to work for, but Trump is doing the opposite.
