Writer Patti Davis offered her thoughts on Trump's America during a lengthy interview with Yahoo News.
By Katie Mettler Katie Mettler Reporter covering breaking news and features Email Bio Follow March 20 at 3:16 PM During a lengthy interview for the Yahoo News show “Through Her Eyes,” host Zainab Salbi asked Patti Davis — the writer and daughter of the late president Ronald Reagan — what her father would think about democracy during the era of Donald Trump.
Her father has remained a legacy figure in the Republican Party, someone current conservatives often cite in speeches and on social media. Even Trump’s signature slogan, Make America Great Again, originated from Reagan’s successful 1980 presidential campaign bid. His catchphrase was: “Let’s make America great again.”
Republicans in this government, she said, are “just sitting by the sidelines and letting the Trump administration destroy this country.”In one of the interview’s most incendiary moments, Salbi referenced a post Davis wrote on her website in summer 2016, just months before Trump won the election.
Trump has compared his own policies to those of Reagan, falsely claiming on Twitter that the 40th president tried to build a wall on the border with Mexico during his administration. In fact, Reagan signed landmark immigration legislation into law that granted citizenship to 3 million undocumented immigrants.Davis said Republicans have a “selective memory” of her father’s immigration legacy, and said his policies did not align with Trump’s.
