8. Other presidents in our lifetime, compared to Trump, were all, yes all, lazy, dumb, cowardly, partisan, and knew nothing about the common man and woman in this country.

I would exclude Mr. Reagan from this characterization. He grew up as a "common man" in a low-income household, bouncing between small towns in Illinois. And I would hardly call him cowardly; just ask Qaddifi, Grenada's Hudson Austin, or Gorby.

I agree with you, and Reagan also had to endure the media, as Trump,

but

Trump surpasses him in that he went where Reagan did not.

1. Immigration
2. Iran
3. etc.

Different times, different media. I get it, and I think REagan was barely himself in the second term.

I’ve always thought that REagan, if he had run against and beat Carter, would have been the greatest president of all time. No way he would have abandoned the Shah of Iran.

Trump, is really our last great hope.
