The basic reasoning here is flawed.
Reagan always had an extremely likable personality which
softened things even when he lied, which he not infrequently did.
Trump has no likable personality. He is a rude loud-mouth.
The fact that a lot of people ignore this fact is the measure of how desperate
Americans are about a political and election establishment which completely
fails to deliver anything but two versions of party boilerplate.
But even a pushy, aggressive, and wealthy man like Trump, if
he were elected, would soon find how little authority a President can really
command.
The last President who challenged the
military-intelligence-corporate establishment which actually runs America, John
Kennedy, left part of his head scattered in the streets of Dallas.
Nothing has changed. Indeed things only have become worse.
