#18: Ronald Reagan (1981-1989)

Ronald Reagan remains a cherished figure in presidential history, though his ranking among political experts has declined recently. Reagan is fondly recalled for his collaboration with Congress, pushing for laws that enhanced economic progression and fortified the nation’s defense.

Conservative policies and a focus on economic growth marked Ronald Reagan’s presidency. His economic plan, Reaganomics, aimed to reduce government regulation and taxes while increasing military spending. He championed the conservative movement, strengthened the military, and initiated negotiations with the Soviet Union, ending the Cold War. Reagan’s leadership style and communication skills left a lasting impact on American politics.
