DT talked and talked for 30 years about running for president. I’m sure he has learned about a lot in that time besides buying congress critters.
Stacy McCain interviews Ed Yager, author of a new book Ronald Reagans Journey: Democrat to Republican.
A key exchange:
Q. Why is Ronald Reagans early identification as a Democrat important to understanding his political career?
A. Because over about a 17-year period, from 1945 to 1962, he struggled to make sense of the political world. And he learned from his personal experiences there in Hollywood. He also learned from his personal experiences while on tour [as a spokesman for] General Electric, and he consistently discussed and debated political philosophy and policy issues with friends and family. And he also learned from a variety of books and magazines.
So he was an engaged citizen, trying to make sense of the political world during the postwar period. Through these different sources he developed his own political philosophy of having a hard-line position toward the Soviet Union in particular and international communism in general. His domestic policy views, those evolved later, during the mid- to late-1950s.
His political development was over a long period of time. It was gradual and sequential. So that by 1962, when he changed his party affiliation, he had a coherent political philosophy that would guide him throughout his political career.

DT has not ever said he would take a hard line at the nation that supports our greatest enemy and has shown aggressiveness with their military in higher frequency. Has DT spoken about that?
I don’t know....Has anyone written a book about what Trump has said for the last 30 years pertaining to politics???
If so, then read it and you’ll get your answer....
