The more I read about this Reagan, the more it seems he was not fit to run as president, probably Trump did less damage to the country than him, and that's a very low bar.

Regan came up with the strategic defense initiative after watching Star Wars and deciding that lasers could shoot down ballistic missiles.

He also got concerned about cyber security only after watching Wargames.

After watching Sneakers, he made a lot of his generals watch it too.

Bro let Hollywood dictate too much of his thinking.

Thankfully, he also watched The Day After, which helped turn him away from the policy of nuclear proliferation.

He was first and foremost an actor, so it makes sense.
