Ronald Reagan. The least intelligent there has ever been - "I can imagine a limited nuclear war in Europe", "This is a fight between good and evil", "the USSR is an evil empire".

The "Evil Empire"
The term Evil Empire refers to the Soviet Union. It was used by former United States president Ronald Reagan to criticize the expansionist and oppressive policies of the Soviet Union.
Reagan viewed the USSR as perhaps the opposite of the values he endorsed and he was particularly critical of the existence and need for the Berlin Wall. He would see that as the opposite to his emphasis on the need for freedom.
