Times have changed dramatically since the 1980s. The Cold War is over - thanks in no small part to Reagan ending it.
Reagan believed in limited government, he was socially conservative and he stayed out of foreign wars. The populists and nationalists support all of those things still.
We did not have the giveaway trade deals like NAFTA and the WTO and the TPP under Reagan. Also China was economically backward and did not have access to the US market under Reagan.
Ronaldus Magnus was great for his time. The right policies today would be different. Times have changed.
Indeed.
