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

[Pat Mustard]

I really don't understand this logic. The man is nothing like Reagan.

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 hated what Reagan started as far as union busting and the age of deregulation and "don't tax the rich", but no, that is something I see occasionally too and it is utter bullshit. Reagan may have gotten the economics wrong, but he never was bombastic or impetuous nor a political demagogue. I would trust Reagan not to get us into a nuclear war. 

Trump talks like a third world banana republic leader, more like Kim Jong Un. We still have him on a leash somewhat because our system is still in place, but no, I don't trust that fucker with his hands on the codes. 

Reagan could not run on todays GOP and was far more a centrist in any case. Reagan would still be horrified if he were alive to see that asshole where he is. Reagan, like him or not, always displayed calm and strong,  Trump sounds like a fucking teenager when you tell them they cant borrow the car.

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.

So? This is a group that like to have dumb fucks insert fists up the elbow up their asses. Both trump and reagaan are dumb fucks who love inserting fist up to the elbow up the asses of the dumber fucks who elected them.

What else do they need to have in common?
