What's up with Trump lovers comparing him to Reagan?

[Pat Mustard]

They're both senile idiots obsessed with their own (faked) image and clueless about how to run a government.

The only difference is that as a party man Ronnie Raygun had somewhat competent people running the country for hum.

Competent ?

Edwin Meese

David Stockman

Oliver North

Nancy



Ed Meese is (in)famous for the dictum named for him, Stockman considered the ketchup on a burger a serving of vegetables, Ollie nearly succeeded in getting Ron impeached, which would have been good for the country, but from Ron's perspective was a disaster, and Nancy was letting the court astrologer control the presidents schedule and she was also guilty of ruthless behind the scenes machinations to re-order Ronald's administrative personnel roster using only who she felt was nice to her as criteria for deciding who was  allowed to serve Ronald.

I did use the qualifier "somewhat". My read of the Raygun administration is that most of his staff were good at what they wanted to do. Pity that they wanted to fuck the country over for their own profit.
