Called it!

[Jon Miller]

In 83 he said that Reagan was suffering from the disease?

[DaShi]

When it was first announced that Reagan had Alzheimer's.

[Wezil]

I recall talk of his mental condition at the time.

[germanos]

Since Reagan made peace with the Evil Empire, probably we should make Alzheimer a prerequisite for the presidency. I suggest we throw in the generals as well.

[Grandpa Troll]

Hm... whom to trust, medical experts or an emotional son trying to promote/sell a book while recalling past events in his view?

It wouldnt be the first time someone tried to drum up sales ahead of a release

[Grandpa Troll]

But more to the point, this is the son recalling events that took place decades prior. His memory is not going to be reliable. Now that we know Reagan had Alzheimer's, the son is going to look back and go, yeah, you know what, I totally remember him showing signs. And if he thinks this enough, he might even start to think he remembers having noticed and talked about it then.

I agree Lori
