But a great choice for the people who want to manage a country without running the risk of getting assassinated. Reagan did a splendid job of playing president, and the right - who seem to be too dumb to recognise that he was a glove puppet - still idolise him, while ignoring things like Contragate.

He can't even see what's wrong with Trump.
