ACU's Matt Schlapp On Reagan, Trump, and
Socialism
It's no surprise the far-left led by Sen. Bernie Sanders,
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Elizabeth Warren are trying to bring
socialism to America.
But, these liberals ignore the history of socialism's evil and are
ignorning the current human catastrophe in Venezuela caused by
socialist policies.
President Trump, much like President Ronald Reagan, has long said
"socialism will never come to America." In fact, as noted in the
American Conservative Union's newest book, Ronald Reagan at CPAC,
President Trump sounds almost exactly like President
Reagan.
In a 1978 speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference,
Reagan warned "Many [Latin American] nations have learned the cost
of socialist experimentation...All suffered economic
catastrophe."
Can President Trump learn from more CPAC speeches given by Ronald
Reagan? How else does Trump echo Reagan's call to action to the
base of the conservative movement? What can Reagan's battle against
socialism teach us today as we fight the new socialist rise?
