“I just wish he’d work a little bit more on the Reagan thing. (Reagan used humor a lot more than he used “smack talk”.)”
You can’t compare the two, Reagan and Trump, because they are of different eras.
When Reagan was in office the UniParty was no where near evolved as it is now. He was also dealing with a majority dem congress which opposed him but was still in the hands of an older generation.
Reagan had only the three broadcasters, NBC, CBS and ABC. Cable was only available in cities and FOX wouldn’t be founded until 1996.
Today’s rats are so far left they are out of the closet.
Bernie Sanders and Occasionally-Coherent are the new standard bearers of the left. Full on slobbering Marxists with no desire to go back into the closet.
Even Billy Jeff and the Hilldog have little place in the party now.
Even the media no longer attempts to hide it’s bias.
FOX is tilting left and OAN is still a bit player.
Twitter is his only tool to fight back.
The Kenyan wanted to “fundamentally change the country.”
Donald Trump is fighting the Marxist rats exactly how he needs to, like a leader fighting for the life of his country.
This is a knock down, drag out fight without time for niceties. Ain’t no Marquis de Queensbury rules in this fight.
The times for each President were different and the manner of conflicts are different, the manner of dealing with the conflicts are different.
