I agree. And there are a lot of similarities. The press tried to bash Reagan by saying he would start a nuclear war with the USSR. It turned out being a plus for Reagan. Russia got scared as shite and behaved themselves.

Reagan was right for the time just like Trump is right for today.
America suffered under poor leadership for a couple decades after JFK was assassinated. Vietnam, LBJs great society, Nixon scandals, Jimmy Carters poor economy and generally incompetent. We had a shite economy and American morale was at an all time low, we were losing the Cold War. Reagan brought about a sense of renewed patriotism and American exceptionalism. Revived the economy and destroyed the Soviet Union which led to two decades of American economic success from early 80s until 9/11.
Trump is different than Reagan. He isn’t as refined speaking wise, he isn’t a traditional conservative. But he is what we need right now. We have suffered under 25 years of poor leadership, corruption, out of control deficit spending, endless wars, and infringement of our basic rights. The DC cabal has entrenched themselves, protected themselves, and enriched themselves on the taxpayer dime ever since 9/11. Trump is a bull in a china shop cleaning house. It needs to be done. Time for our leaders and the rest of the world to stop mooching off the American taxpayers. The checkbook is closed until we get out of this financial and economic mess

We may not realize it, but Trump is likely more like FDR and Lincoln in terms of the country being on the precipice. So his bold action and bravado is necessary now, when maybe under different circumstances, it would not be.

Reagan was great, but he didn't have to fight the Deep State nearly as much as Trump. The Swamp is much worse now, even though they did silence a President way back in 1963.

His biggest asset is that he has zero fricks left to give. And he's governing like it.

Reagan was funny as hell, so is Trump.

Agreed, and there’s lots of Reagan revisionism starting to boil up these days

Reagan was what this country desperately needed at the time it was needed.
For this day and age, DJT is looking exactly like what this country desperately needed at the time it was needed.
Different eras. Different challenges. A different world.
Our society always has a need to anoint a GOAT but there’s room for greatness in every era and age.
For this time right now, I can’t think of anyone I’d prefer taking it on than DJT.

Why does everyone start this conversation like this? We know EXACTLY what we get with Trump. I have no idea what the majority of politicians are really like because we only see the facade.

Not in the same ballpark.
Why? Because we'd had Republican presidents before, who had marginal to good success in the decades before Trump, even if in singular spheres -- whether that be foreign policy or economic growth.
With Reagan, there really hadn't been a successful mainstream Republican in decades-- the closest you had was Ike, and even he was more a brand recognition of a popular general, than a successful politician.
We were less than an last Obama term removed from Nixon having shat down both legs with Watergate when Reagan was elected, when we finally got a presidential redemption from an essentially five decade slide to more and more Leftist presidents since the end of the Hoover administration.
Reagan was the much needed wake up call, long before the modern culture war could really be described as a thing. He was so successful he helped drive the hippies into niche communities like education. Yes, we are dealing with some of the lasting legacy of that now, but the sheer revolutionary nature of it is hard to overstate.

This. Trump is working through an 80 year managerial system that is dying. Reagan saved the system for another 40 years.
