Ronald Reagan, The Ten of Diamonds
40th President of the United States, 1981—1989

Tall blue eyed dark haired Reagan had a reassuring voice and presence. As a former lifeguard, movie star, sports announcer, and Governor of California, charismatic Ronald Reagan was well rehearsed to play the role of President. Reagan was one of the most popular presidents in history. Under President Reagan the United States economy boomed and we had a huge military expansion – paid for by doubling the national debt. Toward the end of his presidency Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev began the difficult work of dismantling the huge arsenals of the USA/USSR Cold War.
