Reagan managed to say a few words for the cameras, and that's what was on television, but he was a confused old man who didn't know where the hell he was or what he was doing there, being pushed around by his handlers.

I know it's U.S. tradition for the press to ignore a President's infirmities, the most famous example being FDR's wheelchair, but dementia isn't something that should be ignored.

The current situation is reminiscent of Woodrow Wilson's stroke in 1919.

Mrs. Wilson might have been somewhat capable. Nancy relied on astrologers. Melania has her expertise as a paid escort.
