All those out there saying "Trump is no Reagan" remind me of folks who are forever reminiscing about the "good old days" and how everything was better "back in their day."
Well Ronald Reagan is not coming through that door. We are never going to have Ronald Reagan again so we might as well stop comparing everybody to him and look for a new game-changing president.
Would not be surprised if 30 years from now, people were going around saying "that guy is no Donald Trump."
The thing that hits me is how many times Reagan dumped the old wife for a new, younger trophy wife, just like Trump. Plus, think about all the times Reagan pointed to his financial success as the measure of a man.
Then there are the 1000+ radio addresses by Trump over the last four years on subjects near and dear to conservatives. Remember how Trump explained conservative principles in easy to understand thoughtful anecdotes.
Oh, wait, none of that is true. One guy is a NY shiv, serial trophy wifer and pseudo conservative and the other a proven conservative governor over the nations most populous and economically diverse state in the union, who actually became a conservative and was always a gentleman. You can’t say that about Trump.
Plus, Reagan put his money where his mouth was. Trump just talks about doing conservative things, but on a tight salary of $400 million there isn’t a lot left over to actually spend on causes you claim to hold dear.
His first wife, Jane Wyman, divorce him over his political ambitions (she was 4 years his senior) and Nancy was ten years younger than Reagan. So maybe Trump’s nearly quarter century difference in age with his wife is nearly, kinda something they have in common.
