Stop it.
Ford was an excellent athlete. He was on the University of Michigan championship football team in 1932 & 1933. In 1934 he was MVP of the team. He was offered an NFL contract with both the Lions and the Packers after graduating. He declined and attended Yale Law school instead where also was a boxing coach.
He joined the Navy during WWII and became a Naval Aviator. He was so good at it they made him a flight instructor. he eventually served in the Pacific theater.
He continued to downhill ski even through his presidency.
However, an old football injury to his knee would occasionally give out making him fall. Chevy Chase on SNL made a career out of his impersonation of Ford being a bumbling fool. FU Chevy

Audiobook I’m listening to is autobio of SNL’s Dick Ebersol. It said Chase became a star doing those Ford bits and one week Ron Nessen, press secretary, was the host and they had a good natured Ford pre record some one line bits. Later I think Chase met up with Ford, etc.

Chase has had many jerk moments and there was a legendary conflict he had with Bill Murray during one SNL show. It’s mentioned at tbe start of the book Wild And Crazy Guys (about comedians of that era)

Thank you!

Like you, I’m tired of the msm controlling the narrative.

… people who fall for it over and over need to develop and employ more critical thinking skills.
