Ronnie, Jr. needs to stop beating up on his old man. Doing so posthumously is despicable.
LLS
Even if Reagan had Alzheimers he was 10 times the President Obama is.
I think he hates him to the extent that he knows he will never come close to being the man his father was ~ and that galls him.
This guy was always a loser probably a disappointment to his dad.
He actually only had one, Maureen, with Jane...Michael was adopteds by them......but there was no third child.
OMG!! Separated at BIRTH!! Maddow and Reagan are TWINS!
I suppose Alzheimer’s can develop over time, and that it is possible that Reagan had early stages of it during his Presidency, maybe the latter part. Or maybe forgetting the names of familiar canyons was caused by normal age-related forgetfulness. Neither factor seemed to have much effect on his abilities as President. His results, which are the best of any recent President, speak for themselves.
It is disrespectful for Ron Jr to bring this up now. It is already a matter of record that Reagan suffered from Alzheimers after his Presidency. People can make up their own minds as to what the impact was before or after he left office.
But the only impact this “disclosure” has is to get some cheap buzz for Ron Jr’s book and give anti-Reagan people a chance to criticize. Either way, it is pretty crummy of the son.
President Reagan’s accomplishments speak for themselves.
Reagan with alzheimers is still smarter than our favorite marxist
“That little tw*t. I want to hear from Micheal.”
Crybaby Michael?
I will say it......And still the greatest president ever. Put your tutu back on Jr.
There is nothing worse that trying to present proof that backs up your opinion to a loved relative, only to have them come back with a response like Ronnie does, which is to BELITTLE you instead of disputing the facts point by point. It is quite relevant, that he ascribes President Reagans "points" to practice, and others research. Not to his own memory of what he has learned. Since we all know the kinds of "points" Ronnie would advocate for, we can easily assume it was pro-abortion, pro-gay rights(including gay marriage), anti-war, and for massive govt intervention at all levels. The communist left is the one with the talking points, and it is a common tactic to assign their PRACTICED SPIEL to their enemies. Ronnie Reagan, you sully the name boy.
It’s obvious that there is a Ron Reagan with premature Alzheimer’s symptoms. That is, Ron JR.
This should get you started.

John Kerry’s mini me
“There were no reports of Reagan with a shaved head or skull stitches later that month when he served as a guest TV announcer at the July 11 baseball All-Star Game in Anaheim, Calif.,”
That’s the proof he’s lying. Reagan would have had half of his head shaved at the least if a window was cut into the skull to relieve pressure. And how would the Drs been able to tell he had Alzheimer’s just by looking at the brain? It might show widening sulci but that’s common for any older person. The only way to document proof through observation of brain tissue is to take a biopsy and see neurofibrillary tangles under the microscope.
“He remembered the canyons, but could not verbalize the names. That is a sign of Alzheimers. Loss of the ability to read, and speak coherently. We KNOW that Reagan had alzheimers...”
He wasn’t suffering from Alzheimer’s disease in 1983. He was suffering from having some lousy children. I occasionally have long-term memory lapses, and my short-term memory is sharp. It happens to almost everyone.
Here is Reagan in December 1992, 20 months before being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. He was still functioning quite well, as you can see for yourself:

To have a thankless child!”

I won’t argue with that!
