#EntertainmentNews: Reagon’s Son Suggests His Father Already Had Alzheimer's While Still the President

Ronald Regan

Son of Ronald Reagan has now put up a new implication of his father’s death as in his new book he states that Reagan, when still being in the White House, was already in the initial stage of Alzheimer's disease. His new book is titled as "My Father at 100," which was published by Viking, an imprint of Penguin Group (USA).

Reagan's son has implied his view of his father’s death in the book claiming that his father would have definitely left his presidential office before the end of his second term in 1989 if he had know or been diagnosed for the disease then. U.S. News & World Report was the first to break the publishing embargo.

Ronald Reagan actually diagnosed with his Alzheimer's disease later in 1994 after having spent five years after leaving the office. It was in 2004 that the Republican President gave up to his disease and passed away at age 93. Though Reagan made it very clear that issues regarding the death of father might be raised, but they shall definitely not discolor his legacy, as he is after all the 40th president of the United States of America.

Reagan has written in his books regarding the same issue putting forward a point that "Does this delegitimize his presidency? Only to the extent that President Kennedy's Addison's disease or Lincoln's clinical depression undermines theirs.” He than also added that "Better, it seems to me, to judge our presidents by what they actually accomplish than what hidden factors may be weighing on them."
