October 28, 2020 - President Donald Trump is not the first president to be hated by a large segment of the Amerikan population. In more recent times, there was considerable hate for President Ronald Reagan. Even though the Democrat Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill and Reagan were polar opposites in their politics, they could be friends. Once, when Reagan confronted O’Neill about nasty things that he said about him in a newspaper, O’Neill replied, “That’s just politics, after 6 o’clock we’re buddies - we’re friends.” Politics today has become something not seen in our history. The true tragedy is that many Amerikans have bought into the hate, destructiveness and plain nastiness, and are seemingly ignorant or uncaring about its long-term consequences for our nation.
