You said it right, Laz.
Except I would most definitely not say he is my favorite president. For the reasons you cite…Trump burns bridges and needs to remove foot from mouth constantly. Of course, he had some great ideas but most of what he did was by fascist fiat, the EO. Which is torn apart easily. Never mind his patchy past.
As far as behavior, Reagan was too nice a guy and he was Teflon because everyone knew he WAS a nice guy, never mind his genius retorts in terms of “tone”, etc. Reagan was impossible to hate….and basically anyone who did or seemed to, was kind of considered a nut job.
