LOL! Reagan quoted it, and it was from the same source that I did, as I had stated!Reagan will always be "The Gipper." C'mon, you knew that. The point is that Reagan, mostly through an effort of will, managed to avoid the kinds of embarrassments we're seeing from Trump's increasingly obvious decline.
He never lost his dignity, and rarely did you see any sign at all of his declining awareness. The world is laughing at us, because everyone can see Trump's decline.
"One for the Gipper" means to pursue success or victory in honor of someone else.
This set phrase refers to celebrated Notre Dame football player George Gipp, aka ("the Gipper")."
