It’s Jodie Foster c.1981.
John Hinckley Jr.’s motivation for the attempted assassination was to impress Jodie Foster:

Wow
Someone shot the elderly Republican former actor with dementia? If I had a nickel!
You'd have 10 cents.
Yeah, but it's still kind of odd that it happened twice.
Noice.
Thanks for the update Internet Explorer.
That fresh fresh IE6 drop
It was a mass shooting. Nothing we Americans care about
Multiple peasants die in mass shooting
Media: I sleep
One rich white politician gets shot at
Media: Real shit
I've got a bad case...
Thats some high quality meme right there.
Yeah, but I disagreed with that one. He was legitimate. Awful, but legitimate.
Ah. Meeeemoriieeeeees
He got policy advice from an astrologer, commited numerous war crimes, and is literally the source of most of America's problems from the last thirty years.
True. But he actually believed that shit, and was at least not a demented sociopathic rapist. An asshole, a bigot, a racist, stupid, and an authoritarian. But not corrupt (Edit: not ludicrously corrupt, as trump is), not a colluder, would never attempt a coup, actually could read, cared about people sometimes.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ll hold forth all day on how Reagan sucked. You downvoters don’t even know. BUT. I disagree with him being shot.
And Hinckley wasn’t even political. Just very incel, in a time before interwebs, trying to impress Jodie Foster.
