Reagan was loved by those around him. I was also told, by someone that worked with Reagan, that Ronnie was the same in private as he was in public.
I’ve heard the same about both Bushes.
I also heard that the Bushes were decent people who treated those around them decently. Didn’t care for their globalist policies, but they were nice people.
The true insight to a person’s character is how they treat the people under them.
I kind of sort of met Ronald Reagan. After he was President he spoke at a business conference at a country club where I was a bartender. m I was working inside that day while everyone else was working outside. We were having a major wind/rain storm so no one was inside and I got bored. I went into the ladies bridge rooms to pick up empties. Was in the last room which had a patio door that led to a side road when a limo pulled up, doors opened and men came rushing through the French door. One of them guided me up against a wall and I saw someone get out of a limo with a trench coat pulled up over their head. He walked in, lowered the trench coat, shook, raised his head and beamed a smile at me. He said...nice day, huh? And then they were gone.
It all happened really fast but afterwards I was surprised. Most people wouldn’t even have acknowledged me but he did.
