Oh I don't think he's on death's door, I think however he's got a condition that makes him unable to be president.
Wilson and Reagan would suggest otherwise
Wilson and Reagan left office before the dementia really took hold at 60 and 78 respectively, Trump on the other hand is 79, one year older than when Reagan left office and has four years left to go, when he'll be 83, and dementia doesn't stop for anyone.
Wilson threw in the towel when he realized he was getting too long in the tooth admitting that he was not up to the job. Reagan left office because he legally had to (two terms) which is something Trump is openly saying he will not do.
So one admissions of poor health, one case of being legally required to. Not exactly good arguments against a man who openly is saying he will flout the constitution for a third term.
Wilson had intended to seek a third term in 1920, but was fully incapacitated and bedridden by October of 1919
Multiple Reagan staffers confirm he was fully in the thrall of dementia by his final year.
OH WOODROW WILSON.
I thought you meant Harold.
