(35,069 posts)Reagan sold guns to the Iranian government and gave the money to death squads in Central America.
And Trump gave enough propaganda to Daesh to last them a century. I don't even think they need a PR arm anymore.

He is tying himself to the Dumpster in a bigly way.

Ron Jr.: "I cant think of two people who are more diametrically opposed. This egotistical, narcissistic guy with the weird comb over swanning in his private plane.
I mean, look in the mirror, fat boy. Look at that hair, youre ridiculous! Where do you get off talking on anybodys appearance? Its just so unchivalrous. My father would recoil at that sort of thing."
Michael: "Its interesting to see how many of them
recreate my father in their image and likeness instead of his, he says. Ronald Reagan would never take 11 million people or three million people or a million people and throw them out of the United States of America.

The old Cold War enemy allowed Reagan to play the big tough-on-communism Marlboro Man (and blow the roof off the deficits/debt with MIC spending--debt that later got dumped on Bill Clinton). Trump is also an irresponsible, ignorant, B-grade actor who likes to play the role of big tough guy for his fans so yes, they do have some ugly similarities.
Oh yes, and they both have done/are doing everything they can to make rich people much richer.

(1,462 posts)He thinks he is a master at playing both sides and walking the line. I believe he hates Trump, but is too cowardly to stand up to him. I can't stand a spineless rat. I hope Trump destroys Lyin' Ryan's career.
