Reflection We all agree that Ronald Reagan was called as “The Great Communicator”. He communicated with other countries' presidents, such as Margaret Thatcher and Gorbachev. They said they admired and praised him during the interviews. Even Margaret Thatcher regarded him as a friend. Also, he and Margaret Thatcher ended the Cold War together without any bleeding. People in the world can escape from this war. This makes many people praised him.
As a president, he was a superb one. He thought for the citizens, what did they need and want. In economic aspect, the Reaganomics was being well-planned. It is not only suitable at that time and also fit well until now. Although we are not born in that time, we admire him after we searched the information about him. Many people did not optimistic about him when first know that he wanted to run for the president because they think that he is an actor and lack of practical experience.
However, more people supported him after different events. People thought that he was calm all the time, especially when he was shot by mental patients. It made his popularity rating rose. Therefore, these are the reason that why he is one of the popular presidents in U.S. We also argue that he is one of the best presidents in U.S. in history.
