Reagan had widespread recognition because of movies and TV besides being President of the Screen Actor’s Guild and twice governor of California. I’d say regarding the times of each man that they probably had about the same “leg up” when it comes to name recognition. IMHO
I would tend to think the folks who regularly consume pro-wrestling and reality TV in the last 20 years are probably less politically savvy than the folks who where aware of the acting career of Reagan. Reagan’s acting career ended in 1965. Trump was on WWE in 2013. But you could be right, I just would tend to think he has a huge advantage among a certain set, considering the increase of mass media in the last 20 years or so.
