Reagan did have government experience. He was the governor of California.
This. What I find interesting is the zealous intensity in their support of Trump. No matter what horrible things the guy has said and done (and there have been MANY,) it's all minimized, rationalized, or explained away, because his supporters are blindly convinced he is the best man who ever existed. I have never seen anything like it, and it scares me a little. I've voted for both parties in many elections in the past, and this is truly bizarre. And no one can possibly argue this man is experienced in this task. He is not.
No matter how much a person hates Obama, he had a LOT of political and government experience and was very educated, as has most every president in the past, if not all. The same cannot be said of Trump, who had zero political experience, zero experience in government, and less education than many presidents in the past. People on the work and employment threads would never consider hiring an office manager of their small business without experience. Yet they hired a guy to run the greatest country on earth and see no contradiction in their logic whatsoever.
Obama proved that anybody can be president, crack Jo, pizza delivery anybody, he had never held a job and was president, maybe we just need someone that not a politician

The better questions is looking back in history, what type of background did some of the best presidents have?
George Washington had no experience in government either
I think "having no government experience" is actually a GOOD thing nowadays - means the person isn't corrupt or versed in "the game"
Better an unknown outsider like Trump than a KNOWN corrupt/establishment type like Hillary.... that's just common sense/logic
Only liberal "logic" would ignore Hillary's many obvious problems and vote for her SOLELY "because she's a woman" or because she has a vagina.... and for no other reason
In order to lead our Country and make us believe you are capable, competent and the leader of all of us, a President doesn't need a lot of prior political experience, but must have, good judgment, empathy, a judicious temperament, and high moral character and he has none of these important traits.
So on that basis, he is clearly not qualified to be our President and his campaign and transition phase has shown me all I need to know.
Obama ... had a LOT of political and government experience and was very educated.
Perhaps, perhaps not.
Being a community organizer and abstaining senator (legislator) and smooth talker does not equate to "government experience" as an executive (decision maker), nor does the pretense of credentials make him educated.
Frankly, he is quite ignorant of American values, IMHO. To illustrate, his penchant for bowing to foreign nobility - an unAmerican behavior. Perhaps he did not study Chisholm v. Georgia in his "Constitutional" studies.
". . . at the Revolution, the sovereignty devolved on the people, and they are truly the sovereigns of the country, but they are sovereigns without subjects, and have none to govern but themselves. . ."
- - - Justice John Jay, Chisholm v. Georgia, 2 U.S. 2 Dall. 419 419 (1793)
This is why Americans do not bow nor kneel in submission to foreign monarchs. Americans are their legal and social equals. This is also why Americans can marry foreign nobility without violating their local laws prohibiting marriage to 'commoners.' It is also why Americans are unique in the world, where every one else is a subject of their sovereign government.
In America, the government is a servant to the sovereign people. That few Americans know this is tragic, but that the president - the highest ranking public servant - bows to foreign monarchs is a slap in the face of the Founders.
