I've read a substantial amount of history regarding this fraud as President. His S.S. agents hated his P.R. nonsense. He, like the clintons, treated them like dirt...that's one indicator of him not what he'd like the American public to think him. He was an utter fraud.
He projected humility while possessing none.
He was a giant turd in the American Presidential punch bowl.
Dementia?
This monster isn't Ronald Reagan, who sadly actually had a form of dementia.
His elderly status doesn't confer anything positive about him.
Being an old leftist is just that........
I have read otherwise - both now and when he was in office. During his time in the WH, he was certainly no leftist. A Dem, yes. By today's Dem party standards, he would be on the right of the Dem party (not that he was conservative, but rather relative to the other Dem's today).
Elderly status in and of itself does not confer anything. But when someone changes that much and they are also getting old, dementia (or similar) can be the cause. And that is not positive.
