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.
You do realize that article is really not complimentary to trump?
"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."
People should stop comparing politicians from different eras. Trump is not Reagan, and doesn't have to be Reagan. Reagan had other pressing problems on his hand. He had to win the WW3 and he did. Illegal immigration and trade were mere blips on radar. Rags like Politico raise this question not for any love of reagan but to take down Trump.
I see the ignorance of some Ron Reagan was a FDR Democrat back in the day then he woke up!
Ron Reagan was an American first....gotta luv "The Gipper" !
