Patton was a genius. But here’s the thing. Patton had Eisenhower to run interference for him. There is no one to run interference for Trump.

I have often said that Trump is a mix of Patton and Reagan. And I wish Trump had a bit more Reagan in him, and a bit less Patton. But this is just a theoretical musing. Trump is what he is. And he’s our country’s best hope by far.

I really like your summation on Trump vs historical figures.

“I wish Trump had a bit more Reagan in him,”

Why?

“I wish Trump had a bit more Reagan in him, and a bit less Patton.”

Let Trump be Trump.

Do you want him to give broad amnesty to illegals as Reagan did?

Do you want him abusing his wife as Patton did (according to his children)?
