Trump used good quotes. Show's he's well read.
 
You forgot Nixon.

"We are all Keynesians now.''

Even though he stole that truth from Milton, who, himself, borrowed it from some economics writer whose name escapes me at the moment.

But it's gosh darned true.

Moving close to 40 trillion in the hole now and in synergy with the very foolish, very dastardly mindset/ endeavor of economic hitmen to keep right on borrowing/printing cheaper currency out of thin air thus destroying its purchasing power and robbing the value of your savings even more than it already is/has been because the old ''fuckyouthat'swhy'' gambit. And that's just what's ''on the books.''

The most accurate quote in Presidential history.

"The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help." Ronald Reagan.

The first president I voted for was JFK but Reagan when I converted to Republican. When I was in the 1st grade, in Oakland, CA, I saw WW2 war planes at the first Oakland, CA airport. Saw convoys of Army vehicles on streets in Oakland. Recall a war plane crashing close to where the Oakland Coliseum is. When it was a large field of grass and weeds. I helped build both the Coliseum and the Arena formerly used by the Warriors Basketball team.
