The USA had a movie actor as its president and a first lady who consulted astrologers and psychics in order to advise her husband.

One of his top cabinet picks (maybe EPA) declared that trees cause pollution. Surrounding himself with MIC operatives, he suppressed a democratic revolution in Central America by labelling the people "terrorists". He supported the right-wing opposition with guns and military support obtained through drug smuggling.

Despite showing signs of Alzheimer's disease, your POTUS was allowed to carry on as if nothing was wrong. His answer to the growing use of cannabis: "Just Say No."

Believe me, the Gorbachev's looked brilliant next to the Reagan's.
