    1. See folks, the Secret Service agents didn’t let the president get up, in full view in an unsecured setting, and do a fist pump for the photographers hurriedly assembled around the podium. They kept him low and out of sight.

      Is that a fake Reagan head on the driver side near the front Secret Service agent crotch?

      I’d be a terrible secret service bloke. First sign of danger rearing its ugly head, I’d bravely turn my tail and, uh, fled.

    4. Defending the president in Top Siders. I feel like that would have even surprised me in the 80s

    5. Argyle socks and duck boots….khakis and boat shoes. 80’s aesthetic is great.

    6. It’s like a Tears for Fears album cover where they went in a completely different direction

    7. Why is President Reagan hidden? why isn’t he on top pumping his fist, like real presidenta do?! coward!!!

      So, I see the Secret Service was pretty into yacht rock.

      I wonder what their tastes run to now.

    9. I’m actually just amazed I never heard of this happening. What happened to the hostages? Was there before or after the assassination attempt?

    10. Not a single one of those dudes looks even slightly panicked, just loading up ready to dump whole magazines into anyone looking at the car funny.

    11. Even in chinos and loafers they look 100 times more serious and effective than ICE today.
