My Bike Likes Ike..
For those fans of 70s sitcoms :)
Both of the Dems and GOP wanted him as their candidate, because he was such a huge "War Hero"!
His two terms in office were riddle with strikes, a recession, the COLD WAR heating up, and a growing anti-Americanism in South America...with VEEP Nixon being pelted with rocks and veggies on his trip to one of the nations there.
Trump and Reagan are the most similar.
Ike and Trump are similar that they avoided war yet cast no doubt of their resolve to fight and fight hard if necessary. Although Ike was more reserved, he oversaw a great peacetime and calm prosperous period where Americans were proud to be American.
The two have very different personalities but their hearts were aimed in the same direction. Ike chased illegals back across the border in a time when courts didn’t throw roadblocks in his way. Trump has had to make a superhuman effort to get a real WALL started and underway while getting the Mexican government to partner with border enforcement. Both knew borders were critically important.
There are many more similarities and I think Trump’s 2nd term could see an Ike-like serenity return to America.
“What Democrats deserve a mention as Peace Makers?”
-
President Truman made peace with the Japanese, circa 1945.
Remember this easy axiom: Democrats start wars (military adventurism usually); Republicans end the wars Democrats start.
