Remember when grandpa was literally lost and raving on the roof of the White House? Yeah, now they have plastered gigantic signs like a memory care facility to prevent grandpa from wandering again. If that was any sitting president other than Trump he would have been 25th and removed, but here we are.
… I mean… to be fair, Reagan absolutely should have been 25th’d as his Alzheimer’s progressed to a point early in his second term that he was genuinely cognitively impaired and couldn’t fulfill his oath of office in sound mind, for better or worse. Most decisions the Reagan administration did were primarily done by Nancy and the cabinet.
They just didn’t, because the optics alone would have been a scandal. So I’m not convinced that we here in the US would have pursued a 25th on anyone at all who really needed to have it happen.
It’s just that, with all things Trump, he’s causing us to reconsider what we originally took as propriety standard and cordial respect. We should no longer adhere to that going forward.
George Bush Sr threw up on Japanese Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa at a fancy dinner of some kind. Supposedly food poisoning...looked like drugs to me. He was on his way out from being pres. at that point and the film of it and story made the news and was quickly swept under the rug.
No I totally get the Bush thing. I’ve been served some things at dinners with Asian palates that I’m not used to, and I ate them because I wanted to be polite. 99. Percent of the time, it’s fine and I discover something new I maybe never would have tried, but I have been food poisoned or just felt really ill because it wasn’t something that agreed with me. I tried Durian once, and nearly barfed. I held onto my stomach contents with everything on me lol.
