Donald Trump gets sandboxed
We all know about “Morning in America.” That was at a time when the GOP’s candidate, Ronald Reagan, was surging in the polls. He wound up winning the Presidency in a landslide.
And through the years, Reagan was often held up by many a Republican as almost — some type of God. Time and again, the GOP would invoke Reagan’s name as an example of what a true Republican looked like.
In today’s republican iteration, Reagan would likely be considered too liberal for the GOP. It’s true. Maga would likely mock him. This is how far down the rabbit hole the GOP has fallen.
Now, I was never a Reagan fan, as I am not a fan of almost any Republican. But one cannot deny Reagan was extremely popular back in the day. You do not win like that in a landslide if you’re unpopular.
But the Reagan Presidential Library remains. It is one of the most visited Presidential libraries. However one person will not be likely to receive an invite. That person is Donald John Trump.
“Spoiled brat in a sandbox.” Those are the words from a member of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation. This person also reportedly told Politico that Trump would not be receiving an invitation to speak there because many of his views are anathema to what Reagan stood for.
Yet another advisor likened Trump to Voldemort in the Harry Potter series, saying Trump wants to “burn everything to the ground” and “attack people.” And he said that for some people involved with the library, Trump “drives them nuts.”
In the past, the Reagan Library has invited many Republicans to speak, such as Liz Cheney. But that invite does not seem to be open to Trump, who, to this day, has not received an invite and, judging by the negative reaction to him, will never be invited to speak there.
