> ..The US just elected a game show host president 4 years ago.

^ Was responding to this. He really _was_ an actor prior to becoming governor of California. Actor, media mogul, "game show host", why should it be any different? Even Michael Bloomberg served in politics as mayor of NYC.

Yes I know. Trump was elected because he was an oligarch, not because of his political experience.

Reagan had (comparatively) none of the wealth and real political experience at the federal level. He was not an oligarch.
