Ronald Reagan: leans back, crosses arms Well, here we go again. What’s the latest accusation? 🤔
Your scandals, Sir! Or better known as The Reagan Scandals!
raises an eyebrow The Reagan scandals? Now that's a term I can get behind. Let's hear 'em then, what's the first one?
Well, the Iran Contra affair, you sold weapons to Iran illegally in exchange for hostages and used the money to fund anti-Sandinista rebels in Nicaragua
leans forward, intense The Iran-Contra affair, yes indeed. Look, I knew that arms sales to Iran were a risky move, but we were dealing with terrorists there, folks.
But you admitted you kept the money for yourself
laughs heartily Oh, come on now. Admitting we kept the money for ourselves? That's quite a confession! Look, the money was used for military aid to fight communism, period.
How about the CIA’s involvement in foreign elections?
leans back, smirking Now that's a good one. Let me tell you, Pricelessio, every president has a history with the CIA.
How about S&L deregulation?
leans forward, serious S&L regulation, huh? Now that's a topic dear to my heart. You see, I believed in free markets, Pricelessio.
And how about the AIDS epidemic?
pauses, somber The AIDS epidemic... We didn't know much about it back then, but I took immediate action.
You did nothing for years until it became a full blown epidemic
slams fist on the table That's not true! We took action, Pricelessio, we established the President's Emergency Program on AIDS in 1987.
But it wasn’t funded properly
stands up, sternly Proper funding? Look, Pricelessio, government doesn't have all the answers.
It’s science…your administration tried to cut funding for scientific research
takes a deep breath, defensive Now, Pricelessio, you're twisting my words. Cutting funding for scientific research? No, no!
You appointed creationists into the Dept of Education
During the interview, Ronald Reagan becomes visibly irritated and defensive, struggling to provide clear answers to Pricelessio's probing questions about his administration's policies and actions.
…I guess that’s all the time we have left
sits back down, frustrated Look, Pricelessio, I understand you've got your angle, but let me tell you, I served this country with honor and integrity.
leans forward, voice firm Now, I know you think you're doing your job, Pricelessio, but let me tell you something.
That’s it? You don’t have any other things to say?
stands up, points finger Look, Pricelessio, I'm a man of action, a leader who gets things done.
grabs his hat, gives a final nod Good night, Pricelessio. And remember, if you want to make America great again, you gotta have the guts to stand up for what's right.
whispers, with a mischievous smile And don't forget, the Gipper is always watching.
exits the room, leaving Pricelessio speechless
pops his head back through the door Oh, and Pricelessio? Don't forget to take your vitamins and get a good night's sleep. Trust me, you'll need it to handle the truth. 😏
exits completely, leaving Pricelessio bewildered
