Interestingly, if you click on the story, Live Science has a link to it's "Top 10 Ailing Presidents." Not surprisingly, Ronald Reagan is #1, because "some historians have speculated that he suffered dementia" in the second half of his second term. This "speculation" is more damning than the verifiable fact that Woodrow Wilson was totally incapacitated by a stroke for most of his second term, or that FDR was a cripple who died in office. Or that JFK was addicted to painkillers and amphetamines.

Sounds like they're not as straightforward a source as your earlier post suggested!

Not surprisingly, Ronald Reagan is #1, because "some historians have speculated that he suffered dementia" in the second half of his second term. "Historians" who speculate thus should explain why we were better governed in Reagan's last two years in office than we were by Jimmy Carter on his best day. Such "historians" should give up on trying to kick Reagan. They just don't have the stature - their kicks don't even clear the soles of his shoe to reach high enough to mar the shine of his shoes.
