Reagan was a 'supply sider.'  Bush43 worried about deficits, so he was a monetarist.

Oops, I was thinking George H W Bush.  Sorry.  George H W Bush was probably the only Monetarist President. There were prior Republican Presidents like Eisenhower who were concerned about deficits, but Eisenhower pre-dated the existence of Monetarist theory.

If the poster is referring to Modern Monetary Theory, then yes, defacto (virtually) all Congressional Republicans are austerity favoring Monetarists when a Democrat is President, but argue at least partially based on MMT for tax cuts when a Republican is President.
