Trump shares fictitious quote of Reagan predicting his presidency
US President Donald Trump has shared a fictitious quote on Twitter from former Republican President Ronald Reagan that predicted a Trump presidency, calling it "cute."
On Monday, Trump retweeted an old post from an account with about a dozen followers, which included a 1987 photo of Reagan and Trump, The Hill reported. The account was later suspended.
The photo of Reagan and Trump is real, but it is not clear that whether the former Republican president actually delivered the prediction. The quotation states: “For the life of me, and I’ll never know how to explain it, when I met that young man, I felt like I was the one shaking hands with the president.”
“Cute!” the president commented.

People near Trump have often compared him with Reagan, who helped end the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the US and established the architecture of nuclear arms control in a series of high-profile meetings with then-Soviet Union leader Mikhail Gorbachev.
But dead Republican Senator John McCain said a couple of years ago there was no comparison between Trump and Reagan.
