He hasn’t outright fired 11,000+ government union workers (air traffic controllers) and he hasn’t let the budget run out, stopping the government for weeks.

He hasn’t developed a major type of beneficial treaty (START) or had years of economic prosperity or reduced interest rates by many points under great economic conditions (as opposed to poor conditions leading to lower rates).

He hasn’t been able to get a great competitor to “tear down their wall.”

Donald Trump is a great president, but Ronald Reagan had incredible actions during his years, despite a Democrat-controlled Congress.

Trump is a comparatively unaccomplished president, at this early time.

No government union has gone on an illegal strike like PATCO did during Reagan. Who is Trump supposed to fire?

The NORKs abandoning nuclear weapons is certainly strategic arms reduction. And unlike START it isn't requiring us to reduce our forces

or had years of economic prosperity

The Reagan boom didn't even begin until August 1982. At least you should wait until Trump has been in office for an equal length of time.

or reduced interest rates by many points under great economic conditions

Reagan took office in January 1981- the U.S. Prime Interest Rate was 20.50. When Reagan left office the U.S. Prime Interest Rate was 10.50

Trump took office with the Prime at 4.50. It is currently at 4.75.

When you figure out how the Prime can go down 10% points from here in order to equal the Reagan drop then let us know.
