Republicans sure love ignorant celebrity Presidents who are painfully out of touch with reality.

In other words, titular celebrity monarchs who think that being President of the United States is simply playing leading man for eight years in the most popular show on Earth.

wasn't as grotesquely narcissistic and weapons-grade stupid as Trump. At least Reagan had been a governor. He wasn't good at it, but he had at least a vague concept of what government does. Even after he started showing signs of Alzheimers he wasn't as boorish and crude as Trump. I'm not defending him. I couldn't stand him. But if he and W set a low bar for the behavior and competence of presidents, Trump has managed to lower it much, much further. They sucked but Trump has set an all-new standard for suckage.
