“Never has there been a president, with few exceptions - case of FDR, he had a major depression to handle - who has passed more legislation and who has done more things than what we’ve done,” said Mr Trump, in a reference to Franklin D Roosevelt.
Trump is a fresh face, he's motivated, he wants something. The establishment is scared, it's going to take some time for Trump to settle in, and for his policies to take affect. Its going to take time to get out of this rut and for him to be accepted. But I have no doubt that in the 2020's things will be looked back upon fondly.
I think he could be better than Reagan if he sheds himself of Bannon and a couple of others and does the right thing for Americans and doesn't have to keep some of the ghouls he has let into his circle happy.
Reagan was one of the worst. His trickle-down economics have been a complete disaster, Iran-Contra is something he and many others in his administration should have been hanged for, there's credible evidence alongside Iran Contra to show that he sabotaged Carter's negotiations, Executive Order 12333 has been a disaster, and I really really hate the cult of personality that Republicans have built up around him.
Reagan took the US from being the largest international creditor to the largest debtor in just 8 years by tripling the national debt. And as much as his party today seems to fear the debt, this always seems to be ignored. His actions in Central America were horrible, supporting genocidal dictators, yet he managed to keep his name separate somehow and this is generally forgotten. Lets not even get started on the whole "Just Say No" disaster that put hundreds of thousands of minorities in prison for petty drug offenses. When heroin was a people of color problem it was a cash cow for America. More cops more prisons more methadone more crime. Inner cities were allowed to have open air drug markets while their neighborhoods were being destroyed. White people are now the face of the U.S. drug crisis. Hence, talk of treatment, not jail. And certainly no "war."

Reagan is one of the best presidents of the 20th century. No way Donald Trump can compete with him.
Huh, what? His trickle down voodoo economic policies started the decline of the middle class. He was a poor grade B actor who couldn't even act like a president.
