-— In fact, I believe there’s a good chance the history books will one day put Trump on a higher pedestal than Reagan.-—

When Trump almost single handed destroys a Soviet Union type entity without a single shoot fired.

Killed communism and freed literally millions of people from its evil grip
..

You might have a point...

I believe the globalists and cheap labor express is today's equivalent of the Soviet Union, maybe not in terms of violence, but certainly in the destruction of the kind of life free and independent people hold dear.

maybe we should equate the globalist challenge to freeing the slaves.

any case, I like your challenge!

Single handedly? Thatcher was involved, a lot. And I’m no Catholic, but Pope John Paul II did more to end communism than either of the other two. And all three arrived at the moment the USSR was imploding economically.

And that entity MIGHT be the US government that has cone completely fascist and internationalist. That’s the entity I want him to destroy. And if he does, yes, he will even be greater than Reagan.
We could have existed in perpetuity with a hostile USSR. We wont last long with the government we have. That is an existential crisis.

RR did play an important part in bringing down the USSR but it was NOT single handed nor nowhere NEAR single handed.

RR could never have achieved it without the incredible spirit of Pope John Paul II and his appearance in the fields of Poland. That was the turning point.

Reagan didn’t do that single handedly. He did it with the Pope and Thatcher. But mainly he did it with the Polish Reagan, Lech Walesa. The trade unionist who rose to lead his land to freedom.
