Reagan was a joke though. A pure puppet of the donor class who didnt know much about anything and paved the way for a massive transfer of wealth from the 99% to the well-heeled and well connected. The fact that working class stiffs deify this ******* is very disturbing.

"But the similarities pretty much end there. Donald Trump speaks to voters in a fourth-grade vernacular; in public appearances and private correspondence, Reagan was powerfully articulate. Reagan was an experienced union president and two-term governor of a major industrial state; Trump boasts no public experience and a checkered private-sector career. Above all, Trump’s rhetoric is animated by fear and resentment. Reagan infused conservatism with hope and optimism."

Reagan is considered a pretty good president, trump being compared to him is complimentary.

Not all comparisons are complimentary. This comparison was not complimentary to trump. But, you know that.

Ronnie played the role of Statesman far better than Donny ever will.
