I think slightly younger people will remember. Interest rates peaked in the mid-80s.
Yes... Ronald Reagan took office in 1981. It took him a few years to fix the mess made by Carter and the democrats. To hear the democrats and the media tell it, Jimmy Carter was a genius who could do no wrong. Reagan gets elected, fixes the fucked up mess made by Carter, and the democrats vilify him as a doddering old fool, claiming he fell asleep a lot, had dementia, etc. Then after 2 terms, his VP bush the elder wins, riding into office on Reagan's coat tails. The democrats vilify him. Then Bill Clinton takes office, and in spite of numerous, repeated acts of sexual perversions, and criminal conduct, he is declared another genius by the democrats and the media. Then Bush II takes office, and once again, the democrats and the media tell us he's an idiot, a drunk, you name it. The Obama, with literally no experience at anything, takes office, and the media and democrat party tells us he's a genius who can do no wrong. Then Trump, and as usual, he is vilified. Now we have a dementia patient named Biden, and once again, the pattern continues..... according to the democrats and the media, he's a fucking genius....
Carter. Democrat. Fucked up the nation. A genius.
Reagan. Republican. Fixed the nation. Hated by the media, a moron.
Bush I. Republican. Hated by the media. A moron.
Clinton. Democrat. A sexual predator and criminal. A genius.
Bush II. Republican. Hated by the media. A moron.
Obama. Fucked over the nation. A genius
Trump. Fixed the nation. Hated by the media. A moron.
Biden. Fucking the nation as we speak. A genius.Every single time a democrat is president the media speaks of him as a genius, but the nation is damaged, every single time a Republican is president the media and the democrats portray him as a moron, but the nation improves. Carter stuck the world with radical Islam, Biden is arming them.
According to Donald Trump, the biggest mistake made in the last couple of decades was the Iraq war under Bush Jnr.
He must have been brainwashed by the media, too.
He was correct. So what's your point? That Bush was a Republican? Both Bushes were RINOS. You'll notice I didn't list any accomplishments. The media wasn't sure how to handle them - they were republicans so they must be vilified. I don't know if you keep missing the point of things on purpose or if you honestly can't think.
During the Bush Presidency you were singing a very different song if I remember correctly. Ironically enough, my opinions about the Iraq war were always pretty much in line with what Trump has said.
Yes, thats true. I was. But it was because id seen the pictures of saddam feeding people into giant shredders, then there was the report of saddam locking a man uo for a week and not feeding him, then setting him down at a table and feeding him a stew while he watched in horror a video of his wife and kids being killed and then cooked into the stew he was eating. I supported going in, taking out saddam, and then getting the hell out. I did NOT support staying there for years after we won the war engaging in nation building. The exact same thing that Trump didnt agree with, and a fact that you failed to mention.

Any rational person will acknowledge that Saddam was a monster. That wasn't really the point of the invasion. He was a monster during the Iran-Iraq was too, arguably far worse than Khomeini, but the West tacitly supported him for its own strategic reasons, in a war that he started.

That's true. It still has nothing to do with my supporting the war, but not supporting the nation building that went on after we had won the war. We sliced through that place like a hot knife through butter. We should have blown shit up and destroyed any ability they might have still had to wage a war with anyone, and then gone home. Any support you saw from me was for that, not the rest of it.
