The Gipper was a weird dude. He didn't take his assassination attempt committed by John Hinckley Jr, who watched Taxi Driver too much and became obsessed with impressing its young star Jodie Foster at all seriously, despite it nearly killing him. I hope youre a Republican, he told the surgeon that operated on him. But on the other hand, he took ridiculous things way too seriously. Like astrology. He allegedly consulted an astrologer before scheduling all press conferences, speeches, presidential debates, State Of The Union addresses, etc. Yes, all of those were decided upon by the position of the stars and planets.
