First, Republicans tried calling Donald Trump too conservative. When that didn’t work, they started calling him too liberal.
The fact that Trump occasionally donated to Democrats (usually Democrats who could help him get real estate built in New York, mind you) has caused many of his rivals to accuse Trump of being a lefty, ridiculous as that may sound.
However, one recently-unearthed picture tells the truth about The Donald:
Yes, that’s Trump, posing with the greatest Republican president since Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan. And Reagan was certainly no lefty or RINO.
If that’s not enough, here’s video of Trump praising Reagan during an interview on Fox News:

Need some more? President Reagan’s own son, Michael Reagan, says that Trump reminds him of his dad in many ways.
“I want to see, and America wants to see, that campaign that says, ‘You know something, this is where I want to take America. I am passionate about it. These are my issues. This is what I want to do,'” Michael Reagan said in an interview on Newsmax TV.
“That’s why America right now has surrounded Trump, in this case, because he’s off the cuff and he speaks from his own passion.”
Even Sarah Palin has come out and talked about the similarities between Trump and Reagan in a column for Breitbart.
“Shouts of, ‘But he donated to Democrats!’ won’t sway Trump enthusiasts,” Palin wrote. “The man built a skyscraper in New York City – of course, he had donated to Democrats. If he was building it in Salt Lake City, I’m sure he would have donated to Republicans.
“‘But he changed his mind on positions!’ Reagan had been an FDR Democrat,” she continued. “Should we hold that against him or be grateful he saw the light?”
It didn’t work when Trump’s GOP primary opponents called him too conservative. And, from the way things sound, it won’t work when they call him too liberal, either.
Maybe it’s time for the Republicans to start listening to Trump instead of blindly bashing him. Perhaps, for once, they’ll understand what conservatives actually want from our leaders.
Churchill was well aware of the Iron Curtain threat even at that time.
Does the word, "duh" mean anything to you?
It proves nothing at all.
Neither does a picture of Trump with Reagan.
OMG. He has elf-ears.
Clearly already scheming to bilk somebody out of something.
So truthy, they're blinding.
But now, I'm REALLY confused:
Get a grip.
Trump plays on both sides of the aisle and always has......I think it’s important not to pigeon hold people into Democrat or Republican because they have been tied at the hip for years......rather where do the candidates stand on issues that are important to the individual voter and the country overall.
Trump will likely soon move into my second choice for the nominee ....largely because all others are just more of the same and nothing will get better in this country. Since so much stands to risk I’d rather risk someone who has the fortitude to change things than just playing the same game.
Nice post.
Real estate mogul Donald Trump and wife Melania joined Billy Graham at his table for the evening...
It seemed to me that the Trump campaign will use/is using/may use the pose to identify with one of America’s greatest heroes.. which may for far too many bring the question, “Who is it?”.
Sarah., greta Trump. Good company. All contributors to Samaritan Purse?
Will you posts those over on the biography thread please. Thanks
Where is it? I didn’t know we had one! lol
