Ronald Reagan is another example. He is so smooth and so effective a performer that he completely won over the American people, Trump wrote. Only now, nearly seven years later, are people beginning to question whether there's anything beneath that smile.
Reagan wasn't prefect, I know. But Trump had not much respect for Reagan and its perverse to try to equate the two.
Yes, perverse is a good word here..
I agree with you. Trump and Reagan should not even be mentioned in the same sentence. One is world class and the other is (complete it the way you want).
