It took Reagan 18 months into his first term to get us over the Carter economy. I predict Trump will
succeed much quicker in getting us over Biden's economy.
Mango is no Reagan.
If you wanna bet, I will take it.

I wish that were true. But they represent a big slice of this country.
That’s why the 2024 election was so disheartening - it exposed the strength of the side of this country that I didn’t want to admit existed,
Trump destroyed my faith in the basic goodness of this country. And that’s what sucks most about him.
Yes they do. I have said the much the same thing.
I believed we were a fundamentally decent people. The election killed that belief in me.
Hilarious, times change China was not even thought of then.
You have zero clue as usual. Californication.
Same principles, but different policies. Reagan’s worked, Trump’s will not….
Not sure why I responded to you as al that’s expected from you are 5-6 word responses. No substance. You should be banned for being such a bore.
You have no clue as usual.
I have worked in international business for 35 years.
Feel free to enlighten the board with your “logic.” Let’s see if it holds up to Reagan standards…
We all wait with bated breath.
China is not our ally.
Kind of shoots your bullshit down.
Canada, Mexico, the EU are our allies…forget about them?

I did not, please educate yourself on on trade policies.
If you believe it is equal on both sides you would be mistaken. Reciprocal tariffs is what is happening, why would anyone be against that? Let me answer for you, TDS whackos.
That has to be one of your lengthiest posts, ever…
And Trump campaigned on Tariffs, so it’s no surprise he’s trying to use them for leverage. Unfortunately, his policies are adversely affecting the markets, small businesses, and most importantly the American consumers. It’s failing and you know it.
As I’ve mentioned, Reagan was highly selective when it came to tariffs. Eli succinctly pointed out a trade issue with Japan. Reagan’s approach was well thought out, effective, and ultimately good for America. Big difference between the two.
Apples to oranges.
The auto industry was not in Mexico or Canada to the same extent, China, Vietnam, and others in Asia were not trading partners and were not allies. The whole video is not relevant to today. The key word is reciprocal. Deals will be made that will benefit the US, why would you be against that? TDS would be my guess..
I’m against shit policy, which is what Trump’s tariff fiasco is…
If I thought the outcome would be for the better good, I’d be ok with it. Unfortunately, Trump doesn’t have the diplomatic chops that Reagan did and we will pay the price…figuratively and literally.
Trumps policies are based in realities of international trade.
As shown on this thread, your opinions are based on TDS. Anyone who equates US trade today with the 1980s is way out of touch with reality.
Reciprocal Tariffs on “Bananas”?…Wake up to the reality of Donald Trump…he’s an
Idiot bent on destroying everything that made America the world’s Leader.
I know of at least one foreign leader who couldn’t be more pleased…i.e. the one DJT colluded with to win the 2016 election.
Reminder that the average Trump supporter is stupid; meaning half of them are stupider than that.

True conservatives value what Reagan did more than what he said. Words are not deeds.
RINO and liberals like rhetoric. They tend to be idealists and idealigues. Conservatives embrace the deeds not words and accept reality as it is. They tend to be realists and closer to truth.
Ha! Reagan was a free-trade man, stupid exceptions notwithstanding
Trust me on this one Eli. You were in the USSR at the time, so your info was not the best.
The issue is not about free-trade. The current trade is neither free nor sustainable.

All good points below and I’m well aware of them…
However, Reagan’s trade policy was strategic and well thought out and they didn’t start a trade war. He was highly selective when it came to tariffs.
Trump’s piss poor planning is backfiring on him. He’ll end up backing down as he did re. China.
Reagan raised 45% tariff on imported motorcycle to save Harley-Davidson
Reagan imposes 100% Tariffs on Japan goods. Retaliatory Sanctions aimed at $300 M in electronics

By threatening import quota, Reagan forced Japan to accept Voluntary Export Restraint (VER) in 1981
Imported Japanese cars were reduced in 1981, which helped struggling American auto industry to recover.

Stop with the facts.
They do not matter to the Californicated poster.
How the eff you would you know? You were killing protesters for your commie overlords while he was
kicking their arses.
Ronnie also didn’t hate or demonize immigrants either. Such a lib. Our Mango overlord knows better.

Unfortunately, there are very few if any Reagan Republicans in the GOP…
MAGA loons have taken over. Such a shame.
Those were the good 'ole days...
I, too, voted Republicans for President, until I learned more about the GOP's Southern Strategy and preference for Laissez-Faire economics...that being said, both parties were able to work together of critical issues of Immigration and trade before the Trump MAGAs showed up...now we need to join together to 'Right the Ship'.
Enjoy this vision of how America can indeed be "Great Again"...
Yup, I voted R from 80 up until 2016 for those policies and a strong defense. I would never vote for
a MAGA isolationist, protectionist, dictator loving pussy like Mango or J-Dumbo.
