"Reagan and Trump: Two Great Leaders"

 

THIS BLOG WAS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN ON MARCH 30th, 2020.

39 years ago today, President Ronald Reagan was shot, at point-blank range, by a would-be assassin. This was at the beginning of his first term, and Reagan was the first U.S. President to SURVIVE an assassination attempt.  He was also, at the time, the OLDEST President to assume office so therefore many interpreted his surviving as a MIRACLE FROM GOD. 

So did he.

Reagan believed that God spared his life because he was on a mission, and he was.  He sought to restore prayer in schools and to end abortion.  Under his leadership, the economy flourished and America was respected around the world again.  In 1984 he won re-election capturing 49 of 50 states, a huge contrast from the relatively thin margin of victory in the previous two elections. RONALD REAGAN UNITED AMERICA in an amazing way!!  And he never, ever used his own shooting as an excuse to try to confiscate legal firearms.

I believe that, as great as Reagan was, Donald Trump can be GREATER because things were worse when he took office (yes, Obama WAS even worse as a President than CARTER was...and he had EIGHT years to trash this nation....Carter only had FOUR.)  And Trump has overcome greater opposition, and hardship (like this Chinese Virus) that Reagan never had to face!! Thankfully, Trump has never been shot (yet) but he WAS older than Reagan when he assumed the Presidency and he HAS survived a bogus IMPEACHMENT ATTEMPT, if not a shooting.

We need to PRAY for our President and I, for one, am glad he's even WILLING to run for a second term.  Like Reagan, he LOVES AMERICA, and that's what drives him.
