It is funny.  Reagan was a former actor but was not that entertaining as a
President.  I was not alive when JFK was elected, so maybe it was like that
then, but the first "celebrity" I remember us electing was Clinton.
He is the first one I remember making the talk-show circuit and trying to
be entertaining.  Also the first one I remember Hollywood really falling
for.

Bush, like his father, was not much like that.  The second one was Obama.
Again, talk shows and Hollywood love.

Trump is the third in my lifetime, but he does not really do talk shows or
have any Hollywood love, so it is different.  He is not the first one I
feel that has abused Twitter... Obama rendered personal opinions about
local matters that were not his business... but he is the first to do it
unfiltered.

As for promises, I am pretty sure that Obama never got around to giving
away all the freebies he promised, either... although he did cover many of
them... but he still got re-elected with the same promises of free stuff.
