Yes, six times over.

Another contrast, along with the point on anger. I’ve never seen Trump laugh, ever. Reagan embraced humor genuinely and professionally. One would want to laugh with him; it was contagious.

I always point out that the differences between Reagan and Trump are deep and profound. Put simply Reagan appealed to that which was good in us. Those better angels that Lincoln spoke of. Trump appeals to the worst in us. Just watch the 1980 debate between Bush and Reagan sponsored by the Texas Republican Women. It’s on YouTube. Watch Reagan talk about immigrants. Then watch Trump.
