I posted the full address yesterday along with the transcript. Not that any of you needed the proof that Ronald Reagan, of all people, was not a big fan of tariffs as Trump is saying.
Here’s the problem: Trump is very stupid so maybe he actually think’s Ronnie was MAGA. The people at Fox know better. Look how they’re framing the story:
They aren’t coming right out and saying that it’s AI like Trump is but they are putting “selectively edited” as if they somehow changed the meaning of what Reagan said in that video which is absolutely untrue. Reagan said those words in the ad and he meant them exactly as they are portrayed.
Ok, so Fox is playing along with Trump. What else is new? I think I’m a little but surprised, however, that the Reagan Library is doing that. They are literally betraying their man by suggesting that the ad doesn’t accurately reflect Reagan’s beliefs. They don’t come right out and say it either, simply saying they used the speech without permission (it was publicly available with no restrictions) and that the words were “misrepresented.” So even the staunchest Reaganites are now re-writing history and throwing his legacy in the toilet in order to curry favor with Donald Trump.
That marks the final end of the old conservative movement.
