GOP Arizona Sen. John McCain said he doesn’t believe there are similarities between former President Ronald Reagan and President Donald Trump.

During an appearance on CNN’s “The Axe Files,” host David Axelrod inquired on whether he saw a parallel between the two entertainer-turned-politicians.

“No, I don’t,” McCain replied, citing Trump’s policy on Russia, adding he finds his handling of the relations with the country alarming.

He went on to praise Reagan’s action to fight communism, adding he disagrees with Trump’s statement there are similarities in the way the United States and Russia govern.
