I’ve always been appalled by all of Reagan’s weirdo kids. They don’t speak for their dad anymore than I do. Trump is a better president than Reagan was anyway.
Reagan often acted decisively and got things done. But in many cases he still clung to bipartisanship and played into the hands of the left by publicly treating them with respect and deference.
Trump readily understands that the Left views that respect and deference as weakness, and as such, is not as inclined to give them that power, and as such, taps into their greatest weakness: Their overwhelming desire to be relevant, important, and deserving of respect.
Trump treats them as irrelevant, unimportant, and undeserving of respect. As a beneficial side effect, his ridicule of them makes them angry and befuddled, like a wounded bull that is having a red cape dangled in front of it. When the Left gets like that, the red cape of ridicule is all they can see, and their rage and befuddlement renders them impotent.
Think of how much Reagan got done, and how much more he could have gotten done if he had treated the Left as Trump does.
(Note: I appreciate Reagan as he was, for that time. There were still an occasional few on the Left who could be treated with respect. Very few, but they were there. I respected Reagan for being a gentleman.)
I also appreciate Trump for refusing to be one when it is called for.
