Lyndon B. Johnson (1908-1973) was the second greatest domestic policy President after Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882-1945).
Both Democratic Presidents gave America its greatest social welfare and social safety network with Medicare and Medicaid under LBJ, and Social Security under FDR.
But LBJ went much further with great accomplishments in other areas of reform, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, greatly expanded the National Defense Education Act, fighting poverty in both rural and urban America, environmental and consumer reforms, promotion of NPR and PBS, immigration reform, and other reforms, more than anyone since FDR and after LBJ to the present!
So, if LBJ were alive today, and saw what Donald Trump has done in his first Presidency, and his unmatched level of cruelty in his much more oppressive, repressive second term in just less than four months, he would have open confrontations with Trump, and would use the most vile, salty language imaginable!
And with his domineering personality traits, LBJ would put Trump in his place and tame him, without an ounce of being “gentlemanly” in any sense!
Can you imagine if Eisenhower, John Kennedy, and Ronald. Reagan, heard Trump idolizing Putin & Kim Jong-il betraying NATO and everything this country stood for since after WWII?
Wayne, as with LBJ, their language and gestures would be very hostile, without doubt!
But the same for Truman and TR, which I have written about in the past month or so on here, along with Reagan!

White South Africans arrive at Dulles as refugees under Trump order.

This is completely laughable – and also VERY telling about Trump’s priorities, which are clearly racist.
Trump’s free plane is not so free.
The Boeing aircraft that Qatar may give the president would require a pricy and complicated overhaul to serve as Air Force One…could cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars.

The Trump regime is letting in WHITE Afrikaners while deporting “over 9,000 Afghans residing in the country” back to f’ing Taliban rule. It is clear that Trump is driven by racism, Islamophobia, etc.
