It took a lot more than Reagan. Trump is the consequence of the last 50 years of Republican (and Democrat, but less so) politics.

Reagan destroyed way more than trump has so far. He gutted the tax base for the benefit of the wealthy and put the burden on the middle class. He got rid of the national mental health networks leading to the current homeless crisis. Trump is only possible because of the actions Reagan took. No matter which one is better or worse.
