Does anybody think Trump made all that money, in the casino development field, without being up to his eyeballs in crony capitalism and “one hand washes the other?” That concessions from the boards providing licenses are just handed out to all comers?
Haven't been shopping lately have you? Beef is through the roof.
I think it’s fair to note Reagan didn’t want a divorce. She dumped him after she won an Oscar and his career wasn’t going anywhere.
She divorced him in 1948. The only politics he was involved in at the time was the union variety. Which could admittedly be pretty intense.
He didn’t run for an office until 1966, eighteen years after Jane left him. She was involved with another man, who she later married.
I suspect the “political ambitions” part is largely hindsight.
Thanks for posting all of those nasty things about President Reagan in an attempt to make Trump look less like the lying huckster clown he is.
I don’t know what any of us would have done without your efforts to trash a wonderful man while heaping praise on a liberal, abortion loving, gun grabbing hypocritical thrice married egomaniacal carnival barker.
Could you maybe compare Trump to the Founders, or Biblical figures next? I really want to know how your hinky faux-conservative compares to them and I’m sure others do, too.
Actually I took a wild guess but here is a random market report I just found. I wasn’t all that far off, if you scroll down.

President Reagan remarried an age-appropriate woman and made a family.
He did not, as Trump did, marry a series of younger and younger women.
Maybe, just maybe America is ready to hear the truth. And Donald Trump is just the man to tell it like it is.
The Republicans were the last hope, but the only thing electing republicans has done is to give obama a Boehner to screw US with.
Well...screw them. To paraphrase Reagan, I didn't leave the Republican party. It left me.
(It's a hoot to read some of the comments here from those who obviously didn't read the article.)
True.
What an idiot to compare Reagan to Trump.
Trump seems to be based on attracting idiots and weirdos.
Trump is a long time liberal and involved in politics, with wanting to be president, and impose his liberal politics on America.
CNN
“Trump offers details on possible presidential bid
Announces Cabinet possibilities, willingness to spend $100 million”
November 28, 1999
“”GOP presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain of Arizona “ might be a very interesting candidate” for secretary of defense, Trump said.
Trump said others he would consider as possible Cabinet members include Rep. Charles Rangel (D-New York) as secretary of housing and urban development and retired Gen. Colin Powell as secretary of state.
As for possible choices for treasury secretary or vice president, Trump mentioned General Electric head Jack Welch. “He’s ... probably the greatest corporate leader in the history of a major company,” Trump said. “Somebody like that would be absolutely incredible.”
Trump also mentioned talk show host Oprah Winfrey again as a possible running mate, even though Winfrey has said she is not interested.””
Reagan was well involved in politics by running the actor’s guild and testifying to congress during the communist infiltration of Hollywood, by 1952 he was campaigning for Eisenhower, campaigning which he repeated in 1956, and then 1960 for Nixon and the rest is history.
“August 11, 1941, 7046 Hollywood Blvd- Warner Bros. contract player, Ronald Reagan, attended his first Board meeting as an alternate for Heather Angel. His then-wife, actress Jane Wyman, was elected to the Board over a year later. World War II put Reagan’s Guild involvement in a holding pattern, but he resumed as a Board alternate in February 1946, first for Rex Ingram, then Boris Karloff. In September, 1946, he was elected 3rd Vice-President, and would so impress the Board of Directors during the often-violent Conference of Studio Unions (CSU) strikes, that he’d move up to the Guild Presidency in six months. c. 1948: with Anna Roosevelt, SAG officer Gene Kelly At the March 10, 1947 Board meeting, resignations were accepted from President Robert Montgomery and six officers/Board members: James Cagney, Franchot Tone, Dick Powell, Harpo Marx, John Garfield, and Dennis O’Keefe, due to the Guild’s new “conflict of interest” addition to the bylaws, recently voted in by the Guild membership. Gene Kelly nominated the absent Ronald Reagan for President. Kelly & George Murphy were nominated too, but Reagan won. Half-way through the meeting, Reagan - who had been at an American Veterans Committee meeting - arrived and was informed of the honor! He would serve a total of seven presidential terms, including six one-year terms elected by the membership in November 1947, 1948, 1949, 1950, 1951 and 1959. Issues - Guild, national, and international - during Reagan’s presidencies and board terms, 1946 - 1960, were among the most vast and complicated in the Guild’s history, 1942: King’s Row including, in addition to the CSU strikes: the Guild’s first entirely new contract since 1937; passage of the labor-weakening Taft-Hartley act; the House Committee on Un-American Activities hearings and the blacklist era; a severe decline in Hollywood film production, largely caused by both the exploding popularity of television and the 1948 “Paramount decree” which would bring an end to the “studio system”; the fall of mainland China to communism; the explosion of an atomic bomb by the Soviet Union; the Korean War; jurisdictional struggles over television; the MCA waiver; the Guild’s first three strikes (1952-53, 1955, and 1960); the first residuals for filmed television programs; first residuals for films sold to television; and the creation of the pension and health plan. 1960: at strike meeting with Executive Secretary Jack Dales In 1950, his future wife, actress Nancy Davis (whom he would marry on March 4, 1952), joined the Board, first as a replacement, and would serve with him for nearly 10 years. In June 1960, Reagan resigned his Guild Presidency, and Nancy’s Board resignation followed in July”
Bullworth was a politician who cracked up and started telling the truth. Which is why it is such a refreshing story. Trump is more like the crazy homeless black guy who periodically pops up in the movie.
His worshipers say just the opposite, that it is his desperation for money that explains away all his pro-democrat politics, and donations, and years of being a democrat and supporting leftwing positions.
They explain all that as what he must do, to not incur disfavor of the left, and hurt his money making.
Their defense of his liberalism, is that he is lying, faking it, for money.
According to his fans, he is the least independent of all, and that is one of his strengths (part of cult worship, is seeing all evils and contradictions, as part of the leaders strengths).
Reagan did pretty well in the movies and later on as the host of the GE Theater.
Also it was Reagan, as the president of SAG, in the late 1950’s, early 1960’s, negotiated the contract that finally gave residuals to actors and such. Before 1960 they got nothing for reruns. It was a far reaching deal that made possible all these actors, directors, etc. to get money from DVD sales, etc.. So all those Liberal Actors that hated Reagan got extra money because of him. Also he exempted himself from the deal to avoid a conflict of Interest. How many would do that today?
BY the way the author of this might want to watch “Bullworth” again and pay closer attention to the plot, he evidently missed it. Bullworth did not care what he said because he was mentally unstable and had put a hit on himself to be killed.
