This opinion piece draws parallels between the presidencies of Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump, highlighting their shared love for America and their focus on communicating directly with the American people. Despite their different backgrounds and leadership styles, both presidents prioritized restoring American prosperity, strength, and pride.
Every February 6, America celebrates the birthday of President Ronald Reagan — a president whose optimism, eloquence and unwavering love for his country defined an era. We not only loved him, we loved ourselves and who we were as Americans when he was president. He made us patriotic and proud, courageous and optimistic, and gave deep meaning to our values as we shone the torch of freedom all over the world under his leadership, inviting others to follow. And they did.
Reagan originally coined the phrase 'Make America Great Again,' – and he delivered on it. After four years of malaise under President Jimmy Carter, Reagan reinvigorated a declining America, restoring it to its domestic greatness and international respect. Similarly, Trump adopted that MAGA language and made it central to his own presidential campaigns, with the 2024 campaign in particular, echoing decline under President Joe Biden which was reminiscent of America in 1980 under Carter.
