    Back in the Spring of 1988 While working on a road project as a Construction Equipment operator with the Navy Seabees at Quantico Marine Corp Base, President Reagans motorcade drove up and he stopped it to get out and chat with us for a few minutes. He was incredibly down to earth and it spoke volumes about his character that he would stop to chat with us.

      Negative. Reagan inherited a bad economy from Carter and fixed it. Trump inherited a great economy from Obama, rode on his coattails
      for 3 years, and flushed it down the toilet.
      Reagan brought the country together, reached out to his political opposition, provided comforting words during times of national sorrow,
      and was rewarded with a landslide reelection victory.
      Trump just spread gas over everything, played only to his base, and got rejected at the polls.
