Past videos

Back in 1983 Reagan was ridiculed in the press for his idea that they referred to as Star Wars. His critics thought he was just a goofy old man who had spent too much time in the movies. The NY Times mocked SDI as an expression of anti communist paranoia. Today countries around the world are looking to install anti missile's. Israel's Iron Dome is a prime example. A similar thing happened when Trump announced his candidacy for president in 2015. The press made jokes about him and one magazine said Trump would be covered in the entertainment section. When politicians are wrong about something the press delights in re showing past videos but they are mostly silent when it comes to their own mistakes. It is very difficult to find anything on Google concerning the remarks by the press regarding Star Wars or some of the things said about Trump when he first announced. People do not feel comfortable with the press in general.
