A rank of bro which demands a high amount of respect. Bronald Reagans typically call for more respect than Brosef Stalins, but not as much as Broseidons, the Gods of the Brocean.
Bro 1: Hey brah, you wanna play some Madden and have a Natty Ice?
Bro 2: Sure thing, Bronald Reagan.
1. Overrated president who had alzheimer's while he was president. Before being president, he was an actor, and once acted with a monkey. Like Jackson, he was a leading cause for an economic downturn which caused his VP to get only one term as president.
2. One of the many warnings from history not to let Arnold Schwarzeneger be president.

A misogynistic president known for having history rewritten about him more times than George W. Bush (his protege) told a lie.
1. He cut middle class taxes (Truth: he raised taxes 11 times)
2. He defeated the Soviets as victor of the Cold War (Truth: The Soviet Union's deterioration began well before his inauguration in Jan/1981)
3. His policy geared peaceful outcomes (Truth: spent money on useless missile programs, Iran-Contra, Latin America guerrilla war financing, provided weapons to Hussein in Iraq vs. Iran, built up Taliban like Armies in Afghanistan's battle against the Soviets)
4. He was a fiscal conservative who presided over a strong economy (Truth: Unemployment hit its highest point since the Depression in 1982, the national debt tripled under his watch, commensurate to GDP the debt increased, Black Monday in 1987, Savings and Loan Scandal, propelled America into a corporate welfare loving state)
In these rewrites came a myth perpetuated over time, primarily at outlets like Fox "News", that his Presidency matched that of true successful GOP Commanders in Chief, like Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower. Nothing could be more further from the truth.
Scott: "Ronald Reagan was the greatest President who gave us so many jobs."
Jason: "Why then were so many out of work in the initial years he was in office?"
Scott: "That was the evil Jimmy Carter's doing!"
Jason: "But unemployment rose from 1981 to 1982 when Carter no longer sat in the oval office. If tax cuts create jobs, like Reagan did in 1981 when furnishing breaks to millionaires, why did the jobless numbers escalate?"
Scott: "I guess it's Obama's fault then."
Jason: "Figures. And how do you defend his unconstitutional act of funding a violent group in South America known as the Contras? The Congress voted to forbid any financial aid be shoveled into their coffers."
Scott: "Whatever. Reagan still gave us hope."
Jason: "Yea, hope for a better President. We did get that in the form of someone from Hope, Arkansas, albeit four years after Reagan's stench departed The White House."
Scott: "He was impeached, though, over a blow job."
Jason: "Not nearly as bad as financing deadly groups in South America, defying a congressional order. Right?"
