OK. I can remember the Reagan years and I would be hard pressed to find an issue where he took the pulse of the nation before he acted. He was a driver of American common sense in a time when most of us had a common frame of reference. Today we are more fragmented.

Trump is not a driver. And lucky for us. If his base can keep their heads and stick with common sense American principles that Reagan embodied, then Trump will abide.

Danielle Pletka, thank you, once again great information. Love your columns! Different than what I expected/thought. Although I encourage you to review the press conference where Trump did suggest that he wondered why if it was a possibility to inject bleach into our bodies. Judy saying.. it’s those events which worry people.

I did review the bleach press conference. And believe me, lots of other times when Trump actually did say the terrible things that people accuse him of. The problem is that in the public consciousness, the best stories are not true. But that’s burying lede, which is that people who have appropriated for themselves the mantle of “MAGA“ really don’t represent that part of the party. And thank you for reading!
