He would like his message, but probably wouldn't like his style or insults.

By the way, they rubbed shoulders from time to time, though weren't all that close:

Reagan had top notch aides and they were not scared to tell him things. Don Regan, Deaver, Nofziger and William French Smith were no shrinking violets.

They would probably tell Reagan to keep a guy like Trump at arms length. Don't praise him effusive but compliment his supporters and then attempt to co-opt them and somewhat marginalize him if they saw him as problematic.

They were very pragmatic politicians.

Reagan's insults (and he did insult his rivals) were much easier on the ear. Just a different style. Most people wouldn't realized that George Washington was a major trash talker when he ran for office. I really respect Reagan and voted for him in 1980. I voted for Trump and glad won. I hope he wins in 2024. Why people have this love/hate relationship with Trump is that he doesn't wait long to clap back. He has no filter to stop him with Twitter. He's no politician for sure.

That’s fair.

Reagan had style and manners.
