That statement is so wrong its actually laughable.

And Eisenhower wasn't even a combat general, he was a logistics officer and planner for most of his career.

Yeah. Other than Reagan's causing the collapse of the Soviet Union, Trump has been a lot more effective than Reagan.

I think it is the connection that is needed. We will or may end up with a Everyman type candidate. The question is evil or not.

No name given : "Donald Trump IS the Eisenhower and also the Reagan of a new era."

Vermont Lt: "That statement is so wrong its actually laughable."

I remember both Eisenhower and Reagan.
Both were relatively moderate domestically, compared to the hopes of serious conservatives of their time.
In that they were similar to Trump today.

Both Eisenhower and Reagan were strong on national defense, as is Trump, and both were committed to America's alliances with NATO and Asian countries.

Both were willing to use military force as needed but were very reluctant to get sucked into quagmires like Vietnam in 1960 or Lebanon in the 1980s.

What Eisenhower, Reagan and Trump share most in common is, they knew how to deal with the Russians and other such bad actors.

Of course, Eisenhower was Kansan & military, Reagan was Hollywood & CA governor and Trump is a NY businessman, so obviously no similarities there.
