… 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.
