For some reason, Trump needs to diminish EVERYONE who he sees as a rival... even dead people.
Trump clearly insinuates that HE is the end all and be all of true Republicanism... and of course never once ever mentions the party's founder, Abraham Lincoln.
He has briefly mentioned Ronald Reagan a couple times... but only to suggest that the Gipper wasn't all that, was a tool of the establishment, and worse... was a globalist!
Of course, Reagan crushed the Evil Empire (while Trump's isolationism would "tolerate" Putin rebuilding it) and Reaganomics set the country of a course of economic expansion for decades.
But far more critically, Reagan not only won re-election, but he won in a landslide, carrying 525 electoral votes, 49 states, and 58.8 percent of the popular vote. His Democrat opponant won merely 13 electoral votes from the District of Columbia, which has always voted overwhelmingly for the Democratic candidate, and his home state of Minnesota by a 0.18% margin. By comparison, Trump lost his re-election bid and will be very fortunate to narrowly defeat a hopelessly senile, heavily medicated fool who everyone KNOWS cannot possible survive another term.
Personally, I voted against Reagan twice because I was a dyed in the wool Dem several decades ago. Sadly, the Dems have gone extreme left since then and the Republicans have sold their collective soul to a malignant narcissist. I find it supremely ironic that I now yearn for another Reagan.

Where's the harsh criticism that has produced all this fake outrage? It was DJT who protected the statue and memorials to Abe. It was the D left who wanted them removed. You only see what you want to see. If DJT supported never ending dollars and support with no qquestions asked to Ukraine, would he then be on your Christmas card list?
If you follow all my posts (including this one!) you know that I criticize the Dems just as harshly as I do Trump.
I feel that the vast majority of our politicians today are slimy hypocrits who only care about getting elected.
To be honest, Trump's sexual pecadilos are no worse than Clinton's.
Meanwhile, the Dems corrpution is worse than under Tammany Hall.
Why? Because we as a people seem to have lost any sense of right or wrong.
Perhaps this is just a natural decline.
It just rankles me because I have grandchildren.
I would love to see someone emerge as a leader who has personal integrity in every aspect of his or her life.
But I suspect that such a person would have zero inclination to go into politics.
Trump and Biden merely reflect who we are.
Politicians, corporate heads, media bosses, most anyone with power are pretty much the same. Even your local elected official has this feeling as he/she struts around town. You're way old enough to know better about these people. A personality that rubs you the wrong way but had this nation in a better place or a personality that rubs you the wrong way and the nation/world are both going down a dark dangerous path.
If so, why?
Listen to them speak, walk, interact, confront the media. Be honest with yourself. Tell me there is no difference.
