    That was not because he was an actor. That was because Reagan was stupid enough to listen to the wrong people.

      OP’s point is that there is a correlation between celebrity presidents and terrible decisions affecting the nation.

        The sample size is 2, and both of them were terrible people before they got into politics.

        Reagan was an authoritarian bootlicker who helped out communists as the President of SAG, he was already a fascist and was voted in because he was a fascist that was good at public speaking.

        Not even gonna get into how shitty of a human being Trump was before being president, except to point out he was the biggest voice accusing Obama of faking his birth certificate.

            Or you know, don’t vote for terrible people instead of basing it on what their job was? Just an idea.

              We aren’t disagreeing. Celebrities are my exception.
