Max Boot's new biography of Ronald Reagan , Max Boot , is a masterly biography of the former president.

He describes Reagan 's inattention to policy decisions and reluctance to settle disputes in his cabinet.

A lack of grip on policies and budgets is one of many ways in which Boot considers Reagan to have been similar to Donald Trump .

But Boot is clear that Trump is no Ronald Reagan . He isn’t even a conservative..

Boris Johnson has put the case for Trump as a possible ally of Ukraine in its current hour of need.

Boris Johnson argued that Trump ’s very unpredictability is a deterrent to dictators such as Putin .

But the trouble with Trump is that he is more unpredictable in his behaviour to those defending democracy.
