No. Reagan had experience as governor of CA. But Reagan didn’t win with 73% of the popular vote. The greater point is that news media distorts. IMO, a “clown” moniker is undeserved at this point. Most Ukrainians despised the corrupt Poroshenko and the greater crook pro-Russian crook Yanokovitch.
I wonder where do you get get ideas of how things work there. Let me guess: lieing media.
Yanukovich wasn’t more corrupt than Poroshenko although he wasn’t great. He had a competent government though with the whole administration exponentially better than Poroshenko.
Poroshenko was evil and incompetent, more so than the previous administration. Maybe incompetent is a wrong word because he was specifically installed by NWO to destroy his country. In that he was successful.
Zelensky is exponentially less competent than Poroshenko although not evil and simply an empty suit. His administration are either incompetents or leftovers from Poroshenko.
The reason why he is elected is because of planned absolescence of Poroshenko regime. Nobody expected his effective policies of destroying his country would be any popular. There were TV series with Zelensky playing a ‘good’ president to groom him and exploit public distrust to a professional political class.
It worked but it also makes you wonder how smart the population which bought the trick is.
