If President Trump was an authoritarian he’d be a Democrat! 
And in the day of Reagan the Democrats were not the vicious and seditious authoritarian party they are today. Back then there was a working together relationship across the isle without the need for closet leftism or cowardly capitulation aka RINO.
But if you want to play the history if game: JFKs…ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country…ideology would have gotten him dropped kicked on his rump right out of todays Democrat/Socialist Party.
