Trump’s campaign manager is a felon.
His deputy campaign manager is a felon.
His national security advisor is a felon.
His foreign policy advisor is a felon.
His personal lawyer is a felon.
His long time advisor is a felon.
It’s not a campaign, it’s a criminal enterprise.

Indeed. Reagan was an ardent free trader. He supported NATO and US leadership around the world. He supported amnesty for illegal immigrants. He raised taxes to stabilize Social Security. The TrumpGOP would've called him a globalist, socialist RINO.
