Did Trump just call Reagan "Founding Father of Al Qaeda" (indirectly)?

[enhanced_deficit]

When Trump said this about Obama, many in GOP-Jarvanka wing as well as hard Right Coulter/Banon etc had defended his stance:






As Reagan was a major supporter of those Afghan Jihadeens (also known as Mujahideens, IS 1.0 etc) or "terrorists" as Trump put it, did he just call Reagan "founding father of Al Qaeda" without using his name ?
If so, why he had the courage to use Obama's name but did not use Reagan's name directly and used similar direct wording instead of implying indirectly?

In other words, is reckless MAGA agreeing with reckless Putin on this?

President Donald Trump: Soviet Union "was right" to invade Afghanistan in 1979 because "terrorists were going into Russia"

Trump defends Soviet Union's 1979 invasion of Afghanistan

Sciutto fact-checks White House's border claim

Washington (CNN)During his freewheeling, 90-minute cabinet meeting Wednesday, President Donald Trump briefly argued that the Soviet Union "was right" to invade Afghanistan in 1979 because "terrorists were going into Russia," a head-scratching aside that was widely criticized as historically inaccurate.

"Russia used to be the Soviet Union. Afghanistan made it Russia because they went bankrupt fighting in Afghanistan. Russia. So you take a look at other countries. Pakistan is there. They should be fighting," Trump said.
"But Russia should be fighting. The reason Russia was in, in Afghanistan was because terrorists were going into Russia. They were right to be there. The problem is it was a tough fight. And literally they went bankrupt. They went into being called Russia again as opposed to the Soviet Union," he added.
The Wall Street Journal editorial board reacted strongly to Trump's comments in an op-ed Friday: "Right to be there? We cannot recall a more absurd misstatement of history by an American President. The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan with three divisions in December 1979 to prop up a fellow communist government."

Maybe he knows that after the assassination attempt it was the Bush presidency but he can't say that because he can't prove it.

Let's hope this does not become a major scandal in the middle of gov shutdown/Syria exit controversy when MAGA needs all the support he can get to tackle a tense fraught situation.
