Trump Is NEVER Going To Be Reagan

'Both entered politics as outsiders...
but that is where the similarity ends'

The Weekly Standard:

One of the best arguments for Donald Trump was that he was going to be the next Reagan. If you think back to the good old days of early 2016, most of the people who deployed this argument did so in superficial ways.
They suggested that Trump and Reagan were two peas in a pod because they (1) both came from show business, (2) both had ex-wives, and
(3) both were regarded as dunces by the intelligentsia...

SPYGATE? How the FBI Investigation Into Russia & the Trump Campaign ACTUALLY Started...

Justice Kennedy's Son was KEY in Securing Dubious Loans for Trump at Deutsche Bank

Helps explain the judge's more conservative bent as of late... 

and this week's incredible political gift to Trump

The Financial Times:

When Donald Trump sued Deutsche Bank in late 2008, it was 'classic Trump', according to the German bank, which sued him back. The New York property developer was trying to wriggle out of $40m of personal guarantees he had supplied on a $640m loan to build Trump International Hotel & Tower in downtown Chicago. The Lehman Brothers crisis was an unimaginable event that should get him off the hook, he argued. 

The future US president sought damages of $3bn — because the Deutsche-led consortium of lenders had just played a part in wrecking the world economy. The two sides sparred for a while before settling out of court. And within a couple of years Deutsche was back as Mr Trump’s go-to lender, continuing a relationship that has endured for decades, even as other big banks have deserted the litigation-prone developer...

George Will: VOTE DEMOCRAT in NOVEMBER

The Hill: 

Conservative columnist George Will is making the argument to vote against Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections. 

In a piece published Friday in the Washington Post, Will says that President Trump's 'zero tolerance' policy at the border was 'the most telegenic example of misrule' and it provided 'fresh if redundant evidence for the principle by which' independents and moderate Republicans should vote.

That principle he says is that the number of Republicans in office must be 'substantially reduced'...
