→Don Regan
IOW, what makes this unusual, in most administrations if a president wants to change chief of staff, the president would have to do it personally and directly, being there is supposedly no one in between the president and his right hand man, the chief of staff. VP Bush's efforts to fire him took three days, demanding, "The president wants your resignation." Regan argued Reagan would have to ask for it himself, but Reagan couldn't bring himself to hurt and betray a personal friend face to face. As recently cited in Nancy Reagan's obits, it was she who had to call Regan up after VP Bush told Regan several times, and tell Regan plainly to get the hell out-he was the designated fall guy for the activities of Reagan, Bush, and Casey, that Regan knew nothing about.

==Iran Contra revisited==
Iran Contra was all about the [[Reagan administration]] understanding how bad the [[Democrat]]s screwed up by [[demonizing]] [[Iran]], and tried to repair the damage. It was the Dems trying to score [[partisan]] points when they discovered Reagan & [[Israel]] were trying to help [[Iran]] in the [[Iran-Iraq war]]. 47 years later, [[Trump 2.0]] is still using [[Democrat]] anti-[[Iranian]] talking points.
