>literally electing an actor to be your President
What the fuck was going on in people's heads in 1980? Isn't making an actor your figurehead leader something that usually happens *without* the public knowing?

Trump is a reality show TV star.
Connor Hughes
Except the reality that show was about is his successful multi-billion dollar business.
David Cox
He'd been in politics for decades at that point.
Also, Ford was a male model in his youth, it doesn't mean you can't do other things later.
Liam Phillips
Except his multi-billion dollar business is about his reality show.
He literally lives off of branding.
Adam Morris
He was a billionaire long before that show.
Jordan Gonzalez
>Late XX century
>not electing someone, with a career in corruption and propaganda, pre-approved by corroborative elites.
Adam Green
He didn't have a reality TV show in 1988.

>One of the richest men in the world, with an estimated net worth of $3 billion, Mr. Trump is already the owner of vast hotel and real-estate properties, including the 1,500-room Grand Hyatt Hotel, the 900-room St. Moritz Hotel and the 340-apartment Trump Parc condominium tower, all in Manhattan.
Michael Nguyen
There is literally no easier way of recognizing a millenial than by the fact that he knows Trump only from the reality show.
Ethan Long
>implying anyone gives a shit about his business endeavors before The Apprentice
You're fired.
Eli Cruz
He was literally considered for Bush Sr.'s VP
Kevin Moore
and was passed over in favor of Dan Fucking Quayle.
Gabriel Gray
He did a stint as governor of California first.
Chase Reed
Why was that a surprise? He just kept doing what he had been doing all his life, reading lines fed to him by rich people.
Andrew Howard
Reagan was an actor who became governor and thus had some clue about politics. His greatest achievement was ending the Cold War.
Let's look at trump. Real estate mogul with failing properties who refuses to pay his workers and is an attention hog who fires people when they become too popular. As an incompetent fascist he will have no major accomplishments and may lead us into wars we don't need because his ego is hurt
Yea we really screwed up with Reagan
Bentley Carter
>drumpf is dah fascist failing businessman!!!!
go be a cliche somewhere else
Michael Thompson
Have you looked into his past? No? May want to get informed before making shallow uninformed comments
Alexander Rivera
Reagan was governor of California.
Being a State Governor in Murrika is literally like being a president in smaller countries.
Eli Foster
He was one of the big names of the late 80's to early 90's and there's shitloads of stuff from that period referencing him or featuring him, why else do you think he had that cameo in Home Alone 2? It was because most of the audience in 1992 would recognize him.
Juan Diaz
have you?
Nathaniel Reyes
>*destroys Soviet Union*
>Reagan takes all credit
Jimmy was too good for this world
Tyler Wilson
>have you?
Implying I haven't
Just one example of him not paying people
business failures

Benjamin Robinson
Reagan was literally pupet president with mental illness. Bush Sr was the real predient during Reagan administration
Logan Sanchez

Keep scraping the bottom of the barrel looking for Trump's fuckups when his successes outnumber them by orders of magnitude. You watch the young Turks don't you?
Sebastian Wilson
You think that I do, which is not the case
He started his presidency with a fight over who had bigger inauguration crowds, treats people without respect, makes statements without thinking of the ramifications, the list goes on
Aiden Scott
I grew up in fucking 90s Eastern Europe and I knew Trump. He was an interbational superstar long, LONG before his TV show.
Anthony Jenkins
Trump's worth billions and has spectacularly succeeded in business far more than he has spectacularly failed. Objective facts. Dislike him all you like but painting him as failed businessman detracts from your credibility.
Parker Collins
>your credibility
This is Veeky Forums, who has credibility here?
Thomas Cox
>his father's
Ethan Bailey
That's why he's good. Americans desperately try to pretend that the office has any dignity, trump unintentionally shows it as it actually is.
Jose Gutierrez
Does the country have any dignity?
Kevin Jones
Are we still talking about the USA?
Brody Morgan
Unless he's president of the world.
Lucas Gray
Then I'm confused as to why you would even ask that question. Just look at the fucking thing.
Logan Campbell

Hunter Fisher
>expecting democracy to work
yeah lol
David Brooks
>literally electing a father to be your president
What the fuck? How can he care for his kids and the people and the same time? WHAT ARE PEOPLE THINKING
Cameron Williams
Democracy is cancer you fucking retard
>letting dumbass proles choose their leaders
who the FUCK thought this was a good idea again?
Ayden Rogers
This is a theory I can subscribe to. Reagan Sr. was, as much as I hate him, a fucking genius. Probably one of the most manipulative and capable people American politics ever saw.
Reagan, much like Bush Jr., were actual "good guys dindu nuffin", other people made the decisions they weren't ready to make.
Henry Morgan
The Bourgeoisie
>LMAO LIKE, EVENTUALLY EVERYONE WILL BE EDUMACATED.
Ayden Garcia
america's dearest held values are money and fame, and he reflected both.
Ayden Harris
you mean Bush sr right?
Josiah Hernandez
...
Ian Brown
If democracy is terrible what's your alternative? We dislike democracy because it produces leaders like trump, a joke. On the other hand it produces leaders like Lincoln, FDR, Reagan who do good for their people
Brayden Watson
our defence minister is an actor too
Nicholas Watson
>Lincoln, FDR, Reagan
How are any of them less of the joke than Trump?
William Williams
Ughh cuz none of them were like literally nazi fascists?
