“They were both red, white and blue. The difference is in literary style. Trump is like Hemingway and James Joyce, direct and stream of consciousness, Reagan had a more restrained, poetic style,” Davi said.

That's a fair observation; Ronald Reagan was cheerful, optimistic, always smiling and upbeat, while Trump can be short-tempered and acerbic. //

Ronald Reagan, though, is hard to compare to any other president in living memory. Without him, the Cold War may not have ended peacefully or as soon as it did. He oversaw a generation of economic growth and, more importantly, replaced Jimmy Carter's "malaise" and "turn down the thermostat and put on a sweater" austerity with "morning in America."

I remember the Reagan years as sunny and prosperous. That's an America we need to go back to. And, yes, I've already bought my copy of the film. I recommend everyone do likewise.
