    Both use fear of enemy to energize their base. Both are "former" enternainers

    Reagan had a real scandal.

    While I may not be following all of what you posted, I do find it interesting that the "enemy" Reagan used is the very country that Trump is now cozying up to...

    Reagan was an upstanding man with values. Trump is not.

    OK, I think I understand now. Unfortunately, the show business performer we got now is a reality TV star, with all that entails.

    Trump is not a tax cheat.

    Real Estate taxes are designed to take losses

    This is why the over not showing returns is stupid

    Most Americans don't understand their forty grand a year taxes

    Just wondering if you are a trump supporter or a "I didn't vote for him" incognito supporter.

    no he wasnt. he illegally sold weapons to iran and used that money to fund terrorism in latin america. he propped up islamic fundamentalists in afghanistan in their fight against the soviets...these same people ended up turning into the taliban and al queda. he supported saddam and gave him chemical weapons. during the iran-iraq war we supported saddam and also covertly supported iran. he supported south africa during apartheid, he tripled the federal defecit and his wreckless spending and trickledown economics caused the worst financial collapse since the 1930's.

    Being a tax pro do you disagree that the tax code is designed for real estate to take losses?

    Reagan believed something. Trump listens to his large intestine.

    I complete agree and disagree. Reagan had his panties in a bunch because our people were accepting weapons from the soviet comrades to fend off savages killing civilians supported by reagan. Trump is BFF with the last glorious comrade, Vladimir putin. I wonder what reagan would make of that? prancing around with comrades. We will never know.

    You have to sell people like those preachers from mega churches both reagan and trump were great at that. Never forget.

    So if two people use fear and are entertainers, they are the same person? Really? That's all it takes?
