Trump Comparisons to Ronald Reagan Aren’t Always a Good Thing
Two recent stories comparing President Donald Trump to Ronald Reagan bear a little careful observation.
The National Rifle Association is celebrating that President Donald Trump will be the first sitting commander-in-chief to attend its annual convention since Ronald Reagan.
That’s great. But, as Guns.com pointed out, it’s also worth noting that Reagan wasn’t a fan of the type of 2nd Amendment rights most conservatives expect today.
“The gun group put out a video Monday touting the comparison. Conservatives love to talk about Reagan. The only problem could lie in the fact that while Reagan was a Second Amendment supporter, he also backed background checks and an assault weapons ban, items the NRA vehemently opposes,” writes the website’s Jared Morgan.
Before he ran for president, so did Trump.
Here’s a little more on the complicated history of gun control, including some information on Reagan’s relationship with the NRA:
Gun Control Has Always Been A Part Of American History
A separate headline including the two presidents comes from The Washington Examiner:
Trump: ‘Most extensive tax reduction in history,’ bigger than Reagan’s
From the piece:
President Trump Monday hinted that his planned tax cuts for businesses and individuals will go further than the historic Reagan tax cuts in 1981 that slashed income, estate and businesses taxes and sparked an economic surge.
“This will be the most extensive tax reduction, I believe, in history, tax reform, combination of reduction as well,” the president told a reception of conservative journalists in the West Wing
“I used [to] say since Reagan, I think this will really go beyond,” he said, adding a bit of detail to the broad program to be officially unveiled on Wednesday.
“What’ we’re doing is going to be very dramatic it’s a very major reduction, it’s a very major simplification. We are going to be reducing taxes for business and individuals,” said the president, accompanied by Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, press secretary Sean Spicer and top adviser Steve Bannon.
Let’s hope Trump’s tax cuts go beyond Reagan’s because his actually weren’t all that impressive.
