Yes.
There is nothing new. Especially in politics and celebrities.
Everything is recycled

Yes, I did know that.

Yes, essentially he did. That's why he was elected in a landslide in 1980. During the Carter Administration, there was a considerable malaise in the US and that the country was on a downhill trend. It was in some ways, but it was getting better in ways that were not tangible to most voters and wouldn't be until the mid-1980s. Insteady, Reagan was elected who, instead of making America better with progessive ideas, tried to turn us back into a 1950s society. A lot of people bought it including Boomers who were raised happily in the 1950s but were having a hard time adulting in the late 1970s. So, Reagan became President and undid a lot of the good that was done in the previous 25 years...

... and now, congrats, you are living with the shitstorm he gave you (*). He's not here to suffer the consequences of his actions, but you are. (And now you know one reason why I chose not to have kids.)

(*) For example, "Affordability crisis" - thank Ronald Reagan for that.

Yes, but I think he just said "Make America Great". After 8 disastrous years of Obama Trump added the "Again".

Yes, and while I had no use for Ray-Guns, I'd take him A MILLION TIMES over Agent Orange !!!

[BCRanger10]

Yes. So why is it a problem now?

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

There are no original ideas

[slatyb]

There's nothing original about Trump.

[Dargil]

Is there anything wrong with that?

[888theGreat]
