16. Ronald Reagan’s Presidency
Ronald Reagan, who resided in the White House throughout the 1980s, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s just six years after he left the office. He was frequently confused in public, so much so that his wife actually invited an astrologer to the White House to provide advice on, um, running the country.
Under Reagan, who had a grand vision for creating a space-based missile defense system, the national debt more than tripled. It has continued to grow ever since then, so basically, all of our political problems have some grounding in the eight-year reign of President Reagan. If you think Trump is bad, imagine him getting re-elected and then his vice president taking office after him. That’s 80s politics.
