The Gipper

"The Gipper" is a nickname for Ronald Reagan, the 40th President of the United States. The nickname originated from his role as actor George Gipp in the 1940 film *Knute Rockne, All American*, where he famously invoked the phrase "Win just one for the Gipper" to inspire his team. Reagan later adopted the nickname himself, symbolizing his optimistic leadership and American spirit. It became a sign of his persona as a charismatic, hopeful leader who believed in restoring strength and confidence to the nation.
