Future presidents should be required to watch footage of Eisenhower to learn what it's like to be a strong, level-headed leader of independent thought and sense. He didn't have to read every speech from a teleprompter and wrote a good many of his own speeches as well some for Pershing and Marshall. He was a brilliant writer and orator. I doubt we'll see another like him for the next generation or two, or three, maybe 10.

Do not even try to equate Reagan & Eisenhower. Reagan was a sellout to the Right Wing nutjobs of this country. Eisenhower was a self professed Progressive & denounced the right wingers of the Republican party. Reagan sold arms to terrorists, created Bin Laden and the Taliban, had Rumsfeld shake the hands of Saddam Hussein and left us with 3 trillion $$ in debt. Ronnie Reagan was just an actor. And a sell out. He screwed the American public and the middle class. Read this quote from Eisenhower and learn. "I have just one purpose ... and that is to build up a strong progressive Republican Party in this country. If the right wing wants a fight, they are going to get it ... before I end up, either this Republican Party will reflect progressivism or I won't be with them anymore." Dwight D. Eisenhower. 34th President of the USA and Supreme Commander and 5 star General of the Allied Forces during WWII.

Trump is a one man walking team of Washington DC elite lobbyists & special interests. Who's palms do you think Trump & his dad before him have been greasing for the past 60+ years??....to get special tax favors & changes in bankruptcy laws for him & his millionaire friends? Law changes that cost the masses of America tax payers to pick up the tab for his failed businesses.

The difference between Capitalism and communism goes way beyond God and Economic policies. However, as we all know, every last detail counted, and God just couldn't be left out of it in the minds of those politicians. As I said, they were appealing to their roots and the USA is a historical protestant nation. I'm not making a case whether God is involved or not, but trying to get across that at the time, God was a big deal politically , even though we might find it silly now days.
