It would probably help if you read the title of the source tumblr.The truth is, Ronald Reagan didn’t actually like jellybeans. That whole jelly bean obsession was concocted by his press secretary during the 1980 campaign in order to cultivate a warm, grandfatherly persona for the voters. The truth was, more than one White House staffer has described the late president as “a cranky old dick.”
For the first few years of his administration, Reagan had his interns pick all of the red jellybeans out of the bag before being placed onto the jar on his desk. He didn’t want the presence of red jellybeans to give people the idea that he had communist sympathies.
ROFLMAO. Hate to break it to you, but none of this is true at all.
