I always hate the "time traveller kills Hitler" stchick.

Killing Reagan does not change the political climate that allowed him to rise to power. In fact killing him could have made things worse for the USA. See 9/11 for a recent example.

The thing is that often those people created that climate. This was the case with hitler and today similar thing is being done with trump.

I don't know about Trump. But the climat that allowed Hitler to gain traction was widespread poverty and hopelessness in post world war one Germany.
