Reagan was very likable. He had a quick sense of humor, and he could deflect a criticism much like an Aikido master could deflect a punch.
Trump is, of course, not Reagan. Trump has a different set of skills. He is, IMHO, much more vulnerable to slander.
Reagan was the target of every bit of this stuff.
Trump fights back. Reagan fended stuff off with the humor. Both ways are effective. The left understands neither.
I respectfully disagree. Trump is tougher than Reagan in many ways, which makes up for his lack of Reaganesque charm(although I think being stubbornly America-first is extremely charming, and a winning strategy). Also, Reagan didn’t have alternative and social media, so he had to rely on his charm, which is why they called him the Teflon president because nothing stuck to him. Nothing sticks to Trump because he catches each grenade and throws it right back into the foxhole of the lying media.
REAGANS biggest mistake George Bush
Trumps problems are different than Reagans
I think Trumps cabinet will be way better than Reagans
GOP hated Reagan also...the blue dog southern democrats help Reagan
The only reason the tax plan passed is he got shoot
Completely wrong.
Substance will always beat style.

I can understand where you are coming from, but answer me this if you will.
What can they hit Trump with that they haven’t already?
They’ve effectively inoculated him from criticism by trashing him and demonizing him non-stop for about 20 months now.
Rush said it yesterday (possibly the day before), those who supported Trump are not going to leave his side come hell or high water. They like what he’s trying to do, and they aren’t going to be persuaded to dump him by anyone over anything.
The Left keeps going farther and farther into whaco-o-bird territory, and folks see them as doing that.
It’s over for the Left. They just don’t know it yet.
My thinking is just the reverse. The nonsense spewed by the left and the GOPe is going to ultimately wear out.
Oh, sure, there is a segment of the population with the IQs of parrots who just repeat whatever idiocy they hear, but that’s a relatively small subset.
I agree with your 1+1=3 analogy—to a point. There is a core difference in our scenario. Typically, when you’re being told over and over that 1+1=3, there is no one challenging that falsehood.
In our case, the roof falls down on the media’s heads when they make up too much crap about Trump. He hits back. Hard. We hit back. Hard. We dominate social media. Fox Business Network is on our team along with a number of quality news sites.
We’ll never reach the lunatic community. Let them go. They’re parading around in vagina suits and wearing cat hats, fully believing they’re ‘making a difference’.
The moron community is largely out of reach as well. Those are the people who couldn’t name the Vice President if you put a gun to their heads. They don’t vote anyway, so who cares?
That leaves a lot of people who will become very tired of the constant whining, ranting and name calling.
Once the economy is roaring, we have full employment and ISIS is rolled up, Trump will begin to be thought of quite differently.
But Reagan was never near to able to destroy the media. If Trump succeeds, which has a good chance, the media will be forever destroyed.
Both were performers, entertainers. This common experience made both men very comfortable in their own skin, confident in all kinds of setting and groups, and excellent communicators.
Considering that Obama was well to the left of the socialist spectrum just like the fascists, and that Obama was a real Manchurian candidate, it looks like the Ctrl-Left is mindlessly recycling what we said about their failed usurper.
I think Trump may very well become the new standard by which future presidents are measured.
He’s got to stop the leaks and receive accurate timely intelligence. That’s how they could set him up. I think he will be immune to media attacks if his agenda is enacted. Prosperity is a hard thing to argue against. Money doesn’t talk it swears.
