Trump Promotes Fake Quote Of Praise From Reagan
Snopes reports:
Although the photograph of Ronald Reagan shaking hands with Donald Trump is genuine, we found no record of the former President’s uttering the phrase quoted upon meeting the New York business magnate. In fact, this quote wasn’t attached to the photograph at all until 30 July 2016, long after Reagan’s death, when it was posted to the “Trump Train” Facebook page. A previous investigation into “Trump Train” found that the social media site frequently shares hoax stories and fake quotes.

He is a ridiculous egomaniacal monster - How does he get to shout out fake news while tweeting such roundly debunked bull shit?
