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.
We’ve been posting on it. Just didn’t know what to call it. I’ll ping you lol
Bah! Those pictures mean nothing. Only pictures of The Donald with conservatives prove anything.
Hadn’t seen that one. I just pinged you to it It’s the one we are collecting stories and history of family on.
One of the videos talked about how Norman Vincent Peale positive thinking has involved into what some see as DT bragging. It really makes sense as my father kept Power of Positive Thinking at the end of all of our fingers (on top of TP in bathroom). Read some every day !
Done!
Thanks. Found an interesting another interesting. There is so much out there his opponents must be going mad searching for dirt.
I trust you were being clever. Churchill hated Communism as much as he hated Nazism. Even in that picture you can see he wished he wasn’t there. Far different from The Donald who was glad to have his photo taken with the Gipper and has always praised him... Get serious
Scroll on down and see how happy The Donald is posing with the Clintons.
A picture taken in a photo-op proves NOTHING one way or the other.
Trump trashed Reagan as an empty suit in his book Art of the Deal. Meanwhile he has said repeatedly how wonderful Clinton was a president. One photo of him shaking hands and a bunch of praise since he decided he wants to be a Republican for a while won’t change that.
'Fraid I get rather defensive when I think my hero is being mailgned. :)
All is well. He’s a hero of mine, too.
So if you shake a guy’s hand who’s a liberal does that make you a liberal?
Isn’t the pigeon hold a WWF move from way back?
Yes, it was a response that showed poor taste and how Trump is liberalization youm
What language was that?
“I want to make America great again” is a slogan. We need more specifics.
She had legs like Roman columns even then.
