It made him look dishonest.
The Iran-Contra Affair damaged President Reagan's image.
The Reagan administration's support for the Nicaraguan contras was damaging to Ronald Reagan's image primarily due to the controversial nature of the funding and the methods employed by the contras, which included human rights abuses. The Iran-Contra affair, where funds from secret arms sales to Iran were used to support the contras, further tarnished his reputation by revealing a disregard for congressional authority and transparency. This scandal led to perceptions of dishonesty and a lack of accountability, overshadowing Reagan's broader policy achievements.

Reagan said that he would never deal with terrorists, that doing so would only produce more terrorism. However the arms deals with Iran appears to be the result of trading hostages for arms. There was also a scandal about whether the money went to support the Contras in Nicaragua and what Reagan knew about it.
