Well, Reagan became president back in 1981, which wasn't much different. If anything he was just an actor (before getting into politics, which is even less qualification that a salesman/real estate guy.

And, aside from spending on BS like "Star Wars" and escalating things with USSR, Reagan also established the neoliberal greedy nightmare we live in since.

Well, he was also a union big shot for over two decades, eventually elected as president of SAG.

Then, he was governor of California for nearly a decade.

So, quite a bit more qualification than "just an actor."

He had a longer political career (and one more directly relevant to being the chief executive of a government) than Obama before each became president.

You could make that argument for every President since Woodrow Wilson at least...
