Reagan vs. Trump: Max Boot Joins The Progressive American

The interview, which will review his new book and its significance, focuses on the two right-wing presidents and their legacies.

Good evening everyone,

I hope this article finds you well. Here at The Progressive American, I have interviewed multiple figures across the political spectrum, including Ira Shapiro and former Congressional candidate Qasim Rashid. I am happy to announce that the Washington Post’s Max Boot will be coming on the show this Thursday, September 19th.

Introducing Max Boot

Max Boot is “a historian and foreign-policy analyst, as well as a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and a columnist for the Washington Post.” His recent book, “REAGAN: His Life and Legend,” examines the complicated legacy of the 40th president of the United States and his sometimes contradictory character.

What We Will Be Discussing

While there is much that could be said about Reagan, for the sake of time and relevance, we will be specifically focusing on the role and responsibility Reagan has in creating Donald Trump and the differences between him and Reagan.
