Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum

He looks more like a Ron. Maybe a Ronnie.

August 10, 1984. Rancho Del Cielo. Here's Ronald Reagan, three years into his first term, more than ready to kick your ass then crush a tan can of Coors Banquet Beer.

R-Dog. Double R.

"The Ronson."

The cocked blue beanie like Nicholson in Cuckoo's Nest. The Hunter S. Thompson gold aviators with orange lenses. The white cotton tee, the five-pocket jeans (Wranglers, perhaps?), and the horseshoe belt buckle. Oh, and the watch. Is that a Rolex?

Arms crossed, work gloves on, ready for business.

A sunny day in California. A then-president just being, well, a man.

What more do you need to know?
