Ronald Regan Story - Embaressedand Humbled
Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Feb 24, 2026 (message contributor)
Ronald Reagan, ... recalling an occasion when he was governor of California ... made a speech in Mexico City: He shared these words:
"After I had finished speaking, ... I sat down ...to a rather unenthusiastic applause, ... and I was a little embarrassed.
The speaker who followed me ... spoke in Spanish ... which I didn't understand ... and he was being applauded ... after every paragraph.
To hide my embarrassment, ... I started clapping before everyone else ... and longer than anyone else ... until our ambassador leaned over and said ...
'I wouldn't do that if I were you.
He's interpreting your speech.'"
