Reagan predicted Trump



“I can’t believe that this world can go on beyond our generation and on down to succeeding generations with this kind of weapon on both sides poised at each other without someday some fool or some maniac or some accident triggering the kind of war that is the end of the line for all of us. And I just think of what a sigh of relief would go up from everyone on this earth if someday–and this is what I have–my hope, way in the back of my head–is that if we start down the road to reduction, maybe one day in doing that, somebody will say, ‘Why not all the way? Let’s get rid of all these things’.”

Ronald Reagan, May 16, 1983

Well, if Reagan was talking about Student loans, health care, Wall Street regulations, taxes on the wealthy, the National Park Service, the EPA, NATO, allies around the world, friendly border countries, Hispanics, women's rights, and a bunch of other things we NEED, you may be right

Alas, Reagan was NOT speaking of those things when he uttered the above quote.

Rather, he was speaking about Nuclear Arms reduction. He spoke of these things when he was lobbying for his Star Wars, or SDI. (strategic defense initiative.)
