Reagan’s slogan
for the 1984 elections
sounds familiar
Bringing America Back
Some remember
his dislike of the gay community
an increase in homelessness
tax cuts for the rich
incentives for burning fossil fuels
His bronze statue
in the United States Capitol’s rotunda
is where a Trump golden statue
may be erected
by the defibrillator.
