It was during the Nixonian era that the Alzheimer's that finally took my Dad (a lifelong Democrat) reached the point that we had him professionally evaluated. I was there with him, and the tester did start with name and date -- and then he asked for the name of the current President.
My Dad's response was, "Ummmmm... Harry Truman?"

Your post caused me to ask myself how I (at 75) would answer that same question...
TXnMA:
"Well -- it sure as heck is NOT that ineligible, illegal alien, phony 1/6th Black, Kenyan muslim Marxist usurper who is squatting in the White Hut, spending MY money, running up debt, taking expensive vacations and golfing while doing his da*ndest to destroy our Constitution and everything that makes this Nation great!!"So...
Ummmmm... Ronald Reagan?"

<LOL!!!>
(Praise the Lord that I'm now able to jest about that horrible time in my family's life!)
LOLOL!
LOL!
Who is the president? The last REAL president was Ronald Reagan.
I can see that going through my mind, so I can see your elderly Pops answering in just that way regarding Harry Truman. His was a cantankerous generation with plenty of sand, as they say, so just such an answer would be right in character.
