I disagree but even if it were true, it would not change my opinion of Trump.

Save for an assassination attempt (may God forbid!) Trump has had to put up with WAY more crap than Reagan did. For starters: Reagan had actual allies in Europe for the most part and the GOP wasn’t set on destroying him...not so with Trump.

They’re both great leaders, both very underestimated by the establishment..Trump is a bit more shoot from the hip and more blunt but it’s the kind of personality the times we are living in call for. The climate of political correctness is way worse now than Reagan’s time.

Reagan - as an actor - mastered the TV age.
Trump has mastered the social media/digital age.

So true. Though not a polished actor in the way Reagan was, Trump does well with television. With the Apprentice -- 15 top-rated seasons -- and also the 2016 campaign where he dominated TV coverage.

Until President Trump, Reagan was the only decent President in my lifetime,and I was born in 1958.

President Trump has a much tougher row to hoe because even with Reagan in office the ComDems were able to insert way too many poison pills in legislation that was passed. While Reagan did try to stop our decline he didn't do the smash-mouth brawling that President Trump is now performing. The population was not as Balkanized and was not yet at the edge of the cliff.

Our fight now is going to be down and dirty if we are to step away from the brink of Communism and return our Nation to a true constitutional republic with individual freedom and liberty. We have a long, hard, way to go.

Reagan ,altered politics as governor of the largest state. Trump didn’t have that experience.

We don't really know if it is "save for assassination attempts." Reagan probably did not have Security as good as Trump's and a quietly foiled attempt with, perhaps, an equally quiet payback might be judged more useful to the ongoing Trump project.

I rather doubt that RR had extensive private security and I don't doubt that DJT does have that.

Wow, absolutely so true! Both would have never been elected if that wasn’t so!

Bingo! Putting the DJT phenomenon in one short observation.
