He’s probably alluding to this Reagan joke:

An American boasts, “In my country, I can walk into the Oval Office, pound the President’s desk, and say, 'Mr. President, I don’t like the way you’re running our country.”

A Soviet citizen responds, “I can do that too. I can go into the Kremlin, pound the General Secretary’s desk, and say, 'Mr. General Secretary, I don’t like the way President Reagan is running his country.”
