Shocking Political Transformation
A Reagan Reversal: From Critic to Supporter
When a key figure from America’s most famous conservative family changes course,
it shakes the political landscape. Michael Reagan, son of former President Ronald Reagan,
has stunned observers by reversing his long-standing opposition to Donald Trump—
a shift that challenges traditional conservative ideals and loyalty within the Republican Party.
From Opposition to Endorsement
Once an “outspoken critic of Donald Trump’s candidacy and policies,”
Reagan now praises the former president’s leadership.
On X, he lauded Trump for creating the U.S.
Department of Government Efficiency, saying it uncovered “billions in wasteful spending”
and that the initiative “would have made his father proud.”
Confronting Critics
Reagan also took aim at Trump detractors, posting, “FYI, it is amazing that you all
of a sudden support my father when for 8 years you treated him like you are treating Trump today.”
Policy Over Personality
Reagan’s turnaround appears rooted in results, not rhetoric.
He now sees Trump’s fiscal actions as a continuation—rather than a rejection—
of Reagan-era conservatism, reflecting a broader shift toward valuing effectiveness over ideology.
