Of course it is easy to prove Reagan said what's shown in the Canadian ad, and it is not AI, as Trump claims — it was reported in his local paper at the time👇 — but what matters is that the president of the United States refuses to engage in good faith in any argument www.nytimes.com/1987/04/26/w...
