Donald Trump is the second American president to come from the world of celebrity and entertainment, with Ronald Reagan being the first. In this podcast, Dr. Melissa Milewski interviews Daniel Geary, an associate professor at Trinity College Dublin, to discuss how Reagan and Trump's different celebrity backgrounds influenced their elections and their actions as presidents. Geary argues that just as Reagan's career in Hollywood films impacted his presidency, Trump's previous experiences with both tabloid journalism and reality television have had significant effects on his presidency.
