TRUMP-UKRAINE; REAGAN-IRAN/CONTRA
Dealt with MAGA Trump supporter with following example. (First disclaimer, I DID NOT support or approve of either Ronald Reagan, or the actions in scandal known as IRAN/CONTRA) The only good thing from IRAN/CONTRA was SNL skit with William Shatner as Oliver North--the MUTE MARINE) Reagan admitted wrongdoing in IRAN/CONTRA as what started out as diplomatic efforts to free hostages held by "hostiles" led to "arms for hostages" with money going where Congress SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITED ANY US MONEY TO GO! In short to compare 1. Reagan traded arms for hostages 2. Trump traded arms for political dirt. In simple MAGAeese , Reagan was ARMS FOR LIVES, Trump is ARMS FOR LIES. Say it reeeaaallll slow, Reagan ARMS FOR LIVES; Trump ARMS FOR LIES
