Reagan was a horrible president, as in horrible for the country, but they were at least minimally competent.

Trump is not only stupid, but insists on surrounding himself with people as stupid as he is, with personal loyalty to Trump’s ego (in the most servile sense) being by far the most important qualification, coming even before looking “good” on TV.

Reagan was constrained by wanting the United States to maintain its military and economic superiority. Trump is unconstrained by anything other than feeling personally important.

His random and capricious trade wars are absolutely destroying the US economy–capital is absolutely beginning to flee from the United States; even domestic manufacturers are choosing Canada over more investments in a country that is going to have supply line issues.

Meanwhile, the Iran war has torpedoed the US military presence in the Middle East, endangered all our vassal states, and its only a matter of time before the petrodollar, the cornerstone of our economic prosperity, disappears.

I am not a fan of Reagan, but I challenge you to find anything he did that is immediately and obviously bad for the United States as a superpower as what Trump has been doing.
