Reagan won in a landslide. Trump, uh, didn't. Reagan had been governor of California and in politics for a long time. Trump hasn't. Reagan replaced an unpopular president. Trump isn't. Reagan had support to build the military and roll back regulation. If you think people want to cut Social Security, Medicare and even the ACA, I don't know what you're smoking.
