Ronald Reagan

"The Reagan Administration would call upon the top nuclear physicists to act as technical advisors."

- Martin Stein on Reagan's President Administration

Ronald Reagan was the President of the United States in 1987. On December 8th, 1987, Ronald Reagan and Soviet Union's Mikhail Gorbachev signed the INF Treaty, reducing both countries' nuclear arsenals and paving the way for the end of the Cold War. He was among the targets in a historical aberration plot overseen by Damien Darhk and Eobard Thawne.

History
In 1987, Ronald Reagan oversaw the signing of the INF Treaty with the Soviet Union's General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev. During preliminary negotiations on December 7th, the Reagan Administration was infiltrated by Damien Darhk, who, in alliance with Eobard Thanwe, conspired with the opportunist KGB agents to get a certain artifact from the Soviet Union in exchange for a CD-Rom that contained the nuclear codes of the United States, as well as a bomb that would blow up the White House. While Reagan was meeting Gorbachev on December 7th, Darhk's plan transpired, but was ultimately prevented by the Legends, with Ray Palmer and Mick Rory evacuating the guests from the building, before stopping the bomb left by Darhk.

Personality
While Reagan was a person of power and an accomplished diplomat (seeing how he managed to convince Mikhail Gorbachev to sign the INF Treaty, despite the opportunistic KGB's thoughts), he was not without some quirks of his own, keeping a jar of jelly beans right under his own presidential portrait.

Behind the scenes

 * Ronald Reagan was a real historical figure, being the 40th President of the United States, from 1981 to 1989. Publicly describing the Soviet Union as an "evil empire", he transitioned Cold War policy from détente to rollback, by escalating an arms race with the USSR while engaging in talks with Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev, which culminated in the INF Treaty, shrinking both countries' nuclear arsenals. During his famous speech at the Brandenburg Gate, President Reagan challenged Gorbachev to "tear down this wall!". Five months after the end of his term, the Berlin Wall fell, and on December 26, 1991, nearly three years after he left office, the Soviet Union collapsed.
