Truth alert:
See what Trump actually says:

Trump is not comparing himself to Pres. Reagan.
Trump is comparing the crowds and their motivation and intensity.
I looked at the sources in the article. I don’t appreciate the author’s tone, but he’s not lying (links don’t transfer):
If you think using Trump’s 1999 interview where he admits his liberalism is unfair because it’s too long ago, how about when Trump joined Bernie Sanders in advocating for a taxpayer-funded, single-payer healthcare system in 2015?
Sourced here.
If you think using Trump’s 1999 interview in which he admits his liberalism is unfair because it’s too long ago, how about when the baby-killers at Planned Parenthood named Trump their “favorite Republican†in 2015?
Sourced here.
If you think using Trump’s 1999 interview where he admits his liberalism is unfair because it’s too long ago, how about when Trump failed to support religious liberty in 2015?
Sourced here.
If you think using Trump’s 1999 interview where he admits his liberalism is unfair because it’s too long ago, how about when Trump said he wouldn’t tear up Obama’s Faustian Bargain with Iran back in 2015?
Sourced here.
If you think using Trump’s 1999 interview where he admits his liberalism is unfair because it’s too long ago, how about when Trump sounded like an anti-Israel liberal (claiming Israel may not want peace and will have to give up even more to Islamists) in 2015?
Sourced here and here.
If you think using Trump’s 1999 interview where he admits his liberalism is unfair because it’s too long ago, how about when Trump came out for a 45% tariff on imported Chinese goods in 2015 (and then lied about it in last week’s GOP debate)?
Sourced here.
By the way, polls show middle and lower-middle class Americans are most likely to support Trump. They would be the ones most devastated by Trump’s tariff scheme, because the higher cost of goods they buy at big box stores like Wal-Mart and Target would be passed on to them.
But I digress.
If you think using Trump’s 1999 interview where he admits his liberalism is unfair because it’s too long ago, how about when Trump donated $50,000 to Obamaista Rahm “never let a good crisis go to waste†Emanuel in 2010?
Sourced here.
If you think using Trump’s 1999 interview where he admits his liberalism is unfair because it’s too long ago, how about when despite all his tough immigration talk, Trump came out for amnesty in 2015?
Sourced here.
If you think using Trump’s 1999 interview where he admits his liberalism is unfair because it’s too long ago, how about when Trump used his pro-baby killing sister as an example of the type of Supreme Court justices he’d appoint in 2015?
Sourced here.
Yeah - makes perfect sense.
Reagan wins two landslides and because Trump has comparatively big primary crowds to the other candidates today - he’s the next big thing.
No one compares Reagan on any level. Any true Conservative knows that. Then again, Trump is not a true Conservative.
No, and the Beatles didn’t compare themselves “personally” to Jesus Christ
