Who is your GOAT president since 1980?

I gotta go with Ray Gun, but I love the orange bastard as well.
Bush and Bush I was always mixed on. Papa Bush started like a house of fire with the Kuwait saving, but by 92, the economy in the toilet, his outdated look on the new 90's and his antics like throwing up on Japan's PM just didn't sit well with a young me.
I felt GWB had a great first term, but that was a LONG and dry 2nd term.
Clinton was the only dem I voted for. 1 term.
Ronnie and Trump have done some very similar things. Ronnie always did his damage with head down. Trump will proclaim it all to anyone.

I was born in 84 and grew up hearing all about Regan. Even the old folks in my family are saying Trump is the GOAT

GEOTUS and Ronaldus Magnus are neck in neck as the two best in at least the last 100 years.
Jug ears muslim sucking Hussein and Peanut Farmer were neck in neck for the two absolute worst in the last 100 years, but jug ears definitely passed him in the final furlong to capture the dubious title of worst most failed.

I have that same level of respect for RR, but one must wonder what his Presidency would have been like with the same proliferation of MSM and social media that we have now. I'm not saying RR's accomplishments would have been any less remarkable, just wondering what negative effect it would have had on the perception of him at the time.

Reagan GOAT.
DJT is getting close though.

Reagan because he had 8 years
Trump is on pace after 3 years to surpass but until he gets his 8. Reagan

Though Trump has his own form of charm and charisma and is funny, Reagan had movie star charisma and good comedic timing and I won't say he was funnier than Trump, but could tell a joke better. Reagan was also a much better speaker(the best in my lifetime). However, as far as moving the ball on their agendas, Trump is second to none. I think this is why the old folks are giving Trump the nod. The biggest difference is Reagan tended to ignore the media bias while Trump takes it on. The biggest thing they have in common is that they both are the right man for the job at the time they serve. Other similarities is they both believe in peace through strength, both were able to stimulate the economy with tax cuts and deregulation. And both rescued us from weak arse Presidents.

Pretty equal on Reagan and Trump. Both were perfect for their times.
Reagan was a unifier and very tough. He got Americans united behind him and was instrumental in dissolving the USSR and winning the Cold War. He brought pride back to Americans.
Trump is a fighter and necessary for the current culture war if we are to preserve traditional America and reject the radical left. He has reinvigorated the American economy and ended the stagnant growth of wages and jobs. He is reversing the bad trade deals passed after Reagan. He is fixing our foreign policy mess in the ME. He is fixing immigration. He is trying to go after corruption.
I think Trump will end accomplishing way more than Reagan if he gets 2 terms. The guy is a machine

Trump and Reagan share the fact that they were both the right man at the right time to make things better for our country

I came of age with Reagan in the White House, he is the measuring stick, Trump measures up and if his 2nd term is as good as his first Trump will go down as THE GOAT, period.

That’s almost word for word the assessment I was given. For me, I want results. I do like that trump is taking on the media. This media isn’t the same as it was in Regans day. They at least pretended to be non bias.
I’m just glad to say I’ve lived during both their presidencies

Warren G Harding is better than both. One of the best we've ever had.

Bill Clinton. Reagan oversaw too much debt increase for my liking.

I'm going with Trump. Regan was great, but Trump's accomplishments are amazing; especially considering the current state of Congress.
