    why is watching reagan eating a burger in the 80s the most satisfying thing to watch?

    I wonder what that little girl thinks now... it was a lovely moment with her mother saying, 'you address him as Mr President...' And the little girl did... and he shook her hand too.
    I wonder if she remembers it.

      the McDonalds is still standing in Northport on the way to the Tuscaloosa Regional Airport where he was most likely heading after, it's been renovated a few times over since the 80s, but has a plaque and photo of that day on the wall.

    Sam Donaldson’s shouted questions were always annoying and intended to trigger Reagan. The effect backfired as the president played him like a base fiddle, gaining more support from the viewing public. Less than a month after this video was taken, Reagan won a historic 49 state landslide victory for reelection.
