Celebrity Presidents, Reagan vs Trump vs Bloomberg
The history of celebrity in the American presidency is examined, comparing the public profiles of Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump to potential candidate Michael Bloomberg. Reagan's extensive career in film, television, and the Screen Actors Guild is cited as a more traditional path to fame than Trump's reality TV success. Bloomberg is described as lacking the necessary "celebrity" charisma to succeed in the current media landscape.
