Now that’s winning one for “The Gipper” — the late actor and President Ronald Reagan.

The film “Reagan” has surged to the top of the home sales charts following President-elect Donald Trump’s victory on Nov. 5.

“Reagan” was listed as #2 on Amazon’s Best Sellers list overall Monday forDVD, Blu-ray and digital downloadsales.

It was listed No. 1 over the weekend, the movie’s publicist said.

The team that created “Reagan” cited similarities between the two Republicangiants and the synergies between Trump’s successfulcampaign and the movie that retells the lifestory of Reagan,a popular two-term president and previously a Hollywood actor.

Reagan earned the nickname the Gipper for his first big role as an actor portraying gravely ill football player George Gipp in the 1940 film classic Knute Rockne, All American. Gipp was in his hospital bed, when he asked coach Knute Rockne to have the team Win just one for the Gipper.

“First and foremost, Reagan believed in America and Americans. I believe Trump feels the same. Reagan was, and Trump is, willing to fight for what they believed was right,” “Reagan” screenwriter Howard Klausner told The Post.

Asked if the Reagan film will do well with home sales, he said, “I do. I believe people are just consuming the overwhelming majority of their filmed entertainment in the home now.”

Actor Robert Davi, who played Soviet Premier Leonid Brezhnev in the film and is a staunch Trump backer, said, “The film showed how Reagan was demonized just as Trump was.”

He said he was “elated” by Trump’s victory and was in Palm Beach with the president-elect for the victory celebration. Start your day with all you need to know

“They were both red, white and blue. The difference is in literary style. Trump is like Hemingway and James Joyce, direct and stream of consciousness, Reagan had a more restrained, poetic style,” Davi said.

The film stars Dennis Quaid as Reagan, Penelope Ann Miller as first lady Nancy Reagan, Jon Voight as a KGB agent and Mena Suvari as Jane Wyman, Reagans first wife. It first hit theaters just before Labor Day.

But there were complaints of liberal bias after only a few theaters in blue New York City and much of the metro region didnt screen the film.

“Reagan” also faced censorship from Meta, Facebooks parent company, which later admitted to the error of blocking promos for the film.

“Reagan” still reached $30 million in box office receipts, surpassing presidential biopics LBJ, Nixon and Oliver Stones “W” about former two-term GOP PresidentGeorge W. Bush., the publicist said.

Davi said the voters saw through efforts to censor Reagan and cancel Trump.

“New York and California are 98% propaganda wings for the Democratic party and they don’t want anything that hurts their agenda. As we saw with the election and with Elon Music taking over X, [Americans] realize the absolute vacant and subversiveness of the media industrial complex,” the conservative actor said.

“Many people that have seen the film have come up to me and said it was the best film they’ve ever seen. Random people at the supermarket.”

CNN top brass is considering naming primetime anchor Kaitlan Collins to the role of chief White House correspondent as the left-leaning network grapples with how to cover the incoming Trump administration, according to a report.

Collins, who hosts “The Source with Kaitlan Collins” weekdays at 9 pm, would relocate with her New York-based show to Washington, D.C., at least part of the time, Semafor reported Sunday.

The move, which has not yet been finalized, is currently being discussed by CNN CEO Mark Thompson and his lieutenants in the hope that it would allow Collins to fully tap into her network of sourcing within Trump’s White House.

However, another veteran TV source who has worked at rival networks speculated that said CNN — which is cutting its own budget — will move Collins into the White House role and drop her as a primetime anchor. 

“Her viewership numbers are bad,” the source said, noting that Collins is paid a a reported $3 million a year. “They probably want to move her back to D.C. and get her out of the anchor chair.”

Collins’ show, which launched on July 10, 2023, averaged 629,00 total viewers its first year. But since the election earlier this month, the program’s ratings have hovered between 565,000 to 430,000 range, according to Nielsen data.

CNN has been looking for ways to keep costs down while Thompson looks to amp up the network’s digital presence and increase its ratings. In recent months, Chris Wallace, who was making a reported $7 million a year, was informed that his poorly-rated shows would be canceled.

Wallace opted to leave after his agent was told he could stay on as an analyst if he took a massive pay cut. 

The network also recently denied raises to Jake Tapper, who makes a reported $7 million, and to Wolf Blitzer, who is believed to make roughly $3 million

CNN did not return requests for comment.

The reporter covered Trump’s first administration for CNN, as well as for her previous employer, conservative news site the Daily Caller.

In recent weeks, Collins has been reporting from West Palm Beach, Fla., near the president-elect’s Mar-a-Lago compound, hosting her show from a set up nearby and breaking news about the president’s transition efforts.

The 32-year-old star has climbed the ranks at the struggling news network, moving from the role of White House reporter to co-host of “CNN This Morning,” the ill-fated morning show co-hosted by Don Lemon and Poppy Harlow, both of whom were axed.

Collins managed to sidestep that disaster and find a plum gig, anchoring the network’s important 9 pm-hour, and cementing herself as CNN’s “It girl.”

Even with her Trump connections, Collins could find it hard to walk a tightrope at CNN, which has grappled with how to cover the incoming president.

Thompson said in an internal meeting with staffers earlier this month that he did not want the network to default to leaning into too much anti-Trump coverage ahead of another four years of Trump in power, the Status newsletter first reported.

He also stressed that there would be a plethora of important stories outside of the D.C. bubble that should not be pushed aside and that the network should strike a balance.

Elon Musk’s Neuralink received approval to launch a new feasibility trial using its brain implant and an investigational assistive robotic arm, the brain-chip startup said in a post on X on Monday.

Neuralink is conducting its PRIME study, aimed at evaluating the safety of its wireless brain-computer interface and surgical robot. It is assessing the initial effect of the implant in patients with quadriplegia, a form of paralysis, to control external devices with their thoughts.

The company plans to cross-enroll participants in the feasibility study from the ongoing PRIME trial, it said in a post on social media platform X.

The Food and Drug Administration and Neuralink did not immediately respond to requests for details on the feasibility study.

Last week, the company received approval from regulator Health Canada to launch a trial of its device in Canada. Canadian neurosurgeons in partnership with the startup have regulatory approval to recruit six patients with paralysis in the study.

In the United States, Neuralink has already implanted the device in two patients. It has allowed the first patient to play video games, browse the internet, post on social media and move a cursor on his laptop.

The company has said its device is working well in the second trial patient, who has been using it to play video games and learn how to design 3D objects.
