Flashback… Trump on China in 2011: “Listen You Motherf***ers, We’re Gonna Tax You 25%”

If you read the book, Reagan's War, you will learn that Ronald Reagan became a believer in the Free Market during when, in the early 1950's, as President of Screen Actor's Guild, he watched the Communists try to violently take over the Union.

After that experience, he dedicated his life to promoting Free Enterprise, and to destroying Communism.

From the late 1950's onward, he crisscrossed the country speaking out about how to do just that.

When Reagan was elected President in 1980, he already had a plan that had been in the works for 25 years. Trump is cut from the same cloth.

For as long as I can remember, Trump has been telling Americans what he would do as President of the United States.

Frankly, I never believed him.

But I was wrong.

He is doing exactly what he said he would do.

I've thought that, too, for quite a while now.

I agree. The POTUS has been self-educating for decades for this current role. My guess is he embarked on this path the day he shook Reagan's hand.

He probably thought, "I can do this job." And now he is doing it. And it speaks to the extraordinary imagination and can-do attitude of Americans from the edge of Canada, to the coastal regions, across the heartland and to the southern border.

We have found a man who looks like "us" and whom we aspire to be during our own lifetime.
