Trump doesn't take any shit off of anyone ergo the current state of things, it's why Trump derangement syndrome is a real thing.


Didn't cave on taxes. In reality, Reagan agreed to twelve tax increases to try and make up for the huge drop in revenue caused by his 1981 gigantic tax cut for the top one percent. The twelve following Reagan tax increases were all on low/middle incomes to make up for the gigantic tax cut on the wealthy. Despite this the original tax cut was so huge that Reagan trebled the national debt during his time in office. What Bush did was pass a budget that actually locked in spending cuts that Reagan had spent eight years talking about but never did. So Bush actually cut spending, that's something that conservatives claim they want to do! Bush 41 is the president who actually did reduce the size of government. He's the last Republican who even attempted to reduce the budget deficit but in the end failed. Every single GOP prez since Reagan has increased the deficit and every single Democratic prez has reduced it. At least 41 realised that you couldn't just keep cutting taxes without either cutting spending or putting taxes back up. No current Republican would dare even suggest such a thing. Bush was the last non-crazy fiscal Republican.


Bush 43 never fought back against Democratic attacks? What the fuck are you on about? Can you provide any examples of this that aren't just figments of your imagination like the 41 caved on taxes claim?
