Trump: Reagan farted in my general direction- And - it was YUUUUGE!!
Trump Had Few Ties to Reagan
“Like many hopefuls before him, presidential candidate Donald Trump has embraced Ronald Reagan, the icon of the modern Republican Party,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“But a peek inside the archives at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, host of Wednesday’s Republican presidential debate, tells a different story. Aides in the Reagan White House, peppered with invitations to Trump events, mostly kept the real-estate mogul at arm’s length, except when they were trying to stop his donations to Democrats or soothe his ‘large ego,’ as one memo put it.”

"He felt very good about me," Trump said. "Frankly, he liked my attitude."
According to the Journal, Trump did meet Reagan. The real estate mogul peppered the president with invitations to events, and Trump himself attended a couple events at the White House. But the Wall Street Journal noted that the Reagan administration "mostly kept the real-estate mogul at arm’s length."

He's down to name dropping? Let the fun begin. First his military prep school gave him better training than our soldiers, and now this?
