No.

But Trump certainly knows how to talk to people and draw them in.

IF he decides to give up some of his earlier ideas, and his urge to make money and connections, and actually becomes what he might be, then he could be very good indeed.

Ronald Reagan had good basic moral principles, and was guided by them. It’s not clear whether Trump has them or not. But if he can be persuaded to adopt moral principles, perhaps with the advice of a close adviser (such as Ronald Reagan had), then he has enormous potential.

He needs someone with reliable moral principles (i.e., religious principles) that he can count on to help him out.

Reagan actually changed himself to a considerable extent from what he had been earlier. Maybe Trump could do that, too. But he has to want to. He has to put God, country, and American citizens first.

Good post yours (#24). It’s close to what I think, except I’d change your “no” to a “maybe”.
