I like how Ronald Reagan delivers this joke: https://youtu.be/mN3z3eSVG7A?t=131 https://youtu.be/mN3z3eSVG7A?t=131

  What a great find. Linked from that video, a great one on ageism in politics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z97_qDsrqgU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z97_qDsrqgU Reagan surely knew to carry himself in a presidential manner.

    Crazy to think that today almost every candidate was older than what Reagan was then. Clinton was only 6 months younger.

          Even some of us who aren't Trump supporters are getting tired of the incessant Trump-bashing.

            Some of us Trump unsupporters grew up under actual totalitarian regimes and are extremely sensitive to certain types of behavior at the top of government. Canaries in a coal mine, if you will.

              Funnily enough I never assigned "megalomaniac" to a certain name; it appears it was just assumed I was talking about Trump. That being what it is, seeing it as an outsider to the US, the glove certainly appears to fit. If good people can't stand up to this sort of behaviour, and call it for what it is, I am rather worried.
