    I'm a Democrat , but I've said it before and I'll say it again I always liked and respected Ronald Reagan.
    Harry Truman is my third favorite President. FDR and IKE are my favorites.

    I'm so glad that President Reagan, another son of the mid west, mentioned that President Harry S. Truman was an active duty, front line soldier during WW1 in France. Right opposite the enemies front line !! Many people today, who are used to politicians who have never served in the armed forces of our country, don't know or care that Harry S. Truman went into the armed forces of this, our country, at age 35. And served, with honor !

    Brilliant tribute to a really great President. When he quoted Truman in saying “I tell the truth and they think I’m giving them hell” it summarises the essence of Harry Truman. No US President ever had a tougher in tray or dealt with it more effectively.

      Truman may have been socially liberal to some degree, he certainly was not a progressive. He did not want to transform our country into a soviet style socialist “utopia”. As Reagan said, he was a patriot and loved his country. Nuff said.

    President Reagan said that freedoms is the must in America 🇺🇸 without room of negotiations, that means freedoms are our country America’s recognitions and principles and laws to preserve, protect and defend freedoms, entrepreneurship spirit and equality of opportunities principles as the liberty 🗽 status represents for. I guess America’s kindness nature toward Americans of all must make sure Americans of all will be able to enjoy our freedoms, entrepreneurship spirit and equality of opportunities principles and societies. RIP President Reagan and President Bush and their kindness nature toward us Americans of all, because if we lose our liberty 🗽 privileges, we will be too late to regret and no place to escape. I still remember President Reagan said that too. Thanks for their efforts for us to be able to continue to enjoy liberty 🗽 privileges and RIP.

He ran as a Republican for Congress in Louisiana. Reagan flew down there and told people to vote for the Democrat. Something the GOP wouldn't do today. They welcome such people.

You do not kowtow to dictators and autocrats. In other words as president of the United States you show respect and get respect through diplomatic not schoolyard bully tactics. Trump was and still is our worst example of a presidential person. His lack of grace in losing the election and carrying on as he has is another indication of a narcissistic self centered egotistical childlike person.
