Craig Shirley, a writer who penned a well-known biography of former President Ronald Reagan is now planning to write a new book focused on Donald Trump’s amazing political comeback in 2024.
This is not the first time that Trump has been compared to Reagan.
Trump’s win two weeks ago has already been compared to Reagan’s landslide win in 1984. The situation in the country back then was even similar, with massive inflation, high gas prices and problems in the Middle East.
The New York Post reports:
Ronald Reagan biographer to pen ‘Comeback’ book on Donald Trump’s stunning political revival
Craig Shirley, conservative-minded author who has written biographies of Ronald Reagan and tomes about World War II, is penning a book about President-elect Donald Trump’s stunning political revival: “Comeback,” The Post has learned.
“I’m going to go back four years to the end of the 2020 campaign and detail his revival and comeback,” Shirley, who was also a history consultant on the 2024 film “Reagan,” about the former president.
“I’m going to try to explain how and why he won, something the elites didn’t grasp,” Shirley told The Post of Trump.
Only a positive book can be written on the merits about Trump’s historic political revival — not a negative screed, he said.
“My books were favorable to Reagan because the facts were favorable to Reagan. This book will be favorable to Trump because the facts are favorable to Trump,” Shirley, 68, said.
Lee Greenwood, the man behind the song ‘God Bless the USA,’ recently spoke to Dinesh D’Souza about the similarities between Reagan and Trump, drawing one major contrast on wars. Watch:

Trump will certainly be a historic president. He already is, in fact. He is the first American president since Grover Cleveland who will serve two non-consecutive terms.
