Geez - can we put the world into perspective please? Immigration was no where near the problem it is now back in the 80s.

Sure he got suckered by Kennedy into the ‘86 Act, he admitted so after he left office. But that was not the pressing issue of the 1980s, the Soviet Union was (and by extension US military weakness coming out of Vietnam and promoted by Carter), the economy was, inflation was.............

You can’t overlay today’s big issues back then and say Trump is better on this/that because they don’t fit. Trump is responding to Terrorism/Immigration the same way Reagan did the Soviet Union. But the Conservative mindset of putting the US in a position of strength, but morally and militarily was Reagan’s mantra, not Trump.

Trump is doing great things. Let him finish the job without ripping apart the truly greatest president of the modern era.

That’s all that is requested.

Lighten up Francis, Reagan is the standard by which a lot of politicians have been measured by, and now it’s Trump’s turn to be measured by Reagan’s performance.

Just because he exceeds Reagan’s performance isn’t a reason to get all bent out of shape.
