Is that.. is that a portrait of Reagan on the wall behind him? The man has no concept of irony..
It feels so gross upvoting a picture and quote from Reagan.
Agreed. But this is a stopped clock situation, and the sentiment is not wrong.
When you look at the context of the quote, he was cynically using those words to defend a great injustice.
I felt pretty gross posting it, so, ya know, fair enough.
Truth is truth, no matter the source.
you're upvoting an even worse than Reagan meme
May Reagan burn in hell.
Especially because that quote was to counter pressure to say that trade relations were invalid if one party wasn't protecting the environment and human rights (for example, by imposing slave-labor conditions on factory workers).
Oh 100% agreed, Reagan was a piece of shit, I just find it hilarious that Trump reveres a man who spoke openly against exactly what he's doing.
It's not just irony he has no knowledge of history. He know that Reagan said that. All he knows is that Reagan has an R beside his name and maybe possibly the words trickle down economics.
Since we're talking about Trump I am 100% confident you are wrong on that.
He doesn't care about R, just ego.
Reagan also never used the words trickle down economics. Nor would pretty.much anyone Trump talks to. He wouldn't associate Reagan with that either.
I'm going to guess from context that they meant to write 'doesn't know', but..
