Reagan son: Dementia film ‘disrespectful’

Posted by | April 28, 2016 10:05 | Filed under: Media/Show Business News Behaving Badly Politics


Michael Reagan says the Will Farrell project about Ronald Reagan having dementia during his second term is not appropriate.

In the film, titled Reagan, an intern must convince the ailing politician that he is an actor, playing the US president.

In a series of Twitter posts Michael Reagan, who at 71 is the eldest living child of Ronald and wife Nancy, criticised the concept behind the film.

“What an Outrag….Alzheimers is not joke…It kills..You should be ashamed all of you [SIC]” he wrote.

    Sadly, it’s no joke…
    Anyone who was paying attention realized the president had lost his mind with 3 years to go…it was no secret.
    It was sort of comical to hear Nancy tell Ronnie what to say and watch him parrot her like a trained chimp…

      Michael Reagan is the son of Ron and his first wife. He was adopted and Reagan had a daughter with his first wife and the adopted son.

      His younger son with Nancy, has said that he feels his dad had Alzheimer’s while in office.

      I lived in England when Reagan was in the WH. He went to Germany and welcomed home some hostages or was there to give a speech of some kind. He stood on the balcony and the mics picked up Nancy feeding him his lines from behind the curtain.

      I don’t know how much to blame him for remaining in office when he was unfit, but Nancy, the doctors, and anybody in that administration should be tried for treason as far as I am concerned. Sadly, the Constitution limits what can be called treason. I would support broadening that.

      There were so many complaints at the time about how access to Reagan was so limited and how controlling Nancy was….jokes about how many naps Reagan took everyday too.

        A special one that comes to mind is when Ronnie’s questioned while getting on Marine 1 and Nancy has to shout the cues at Ronnie over the sound of rotor wash…LOL

          living in England, I didn’t hear that one

        Agreed, it was so very obvious. Robin Williams did a masterful bit on it in his “Live at the Met” performance. Boy dontcha know he’d have a field day with Drumpf?

      On the upside, he could hide his own Easter eggs.

      Yeah, for part of his 2nd term, we had President Mommy.

    Republicans always hate the truth.

    Those of us who had, at that time, experienced a loved one with that horrible disease know that he was showing the very earliest signs of it early in his first term.

    Disrespect to a President? I’m shocked.

    “”Alzheimers is not joke…It kills..You should be ashamed all of you [SIC]” he wrote.””

    In this instance, I agree 100% with Mr. Reagan.

    He was never the same after he got shot and after that Nancy was by his side everywhere he went she would even finish his sentences. Alzheimer doesn’t just happen all of a sudden it progresses.

    Back in 1983 after all those marines died so unnecessarily in Beirut after he sent them there for no discernible reason, I heard him giving a moving speech about how he personally called all the families of those who died. Well, I knew two of those families and they never got a call from anyone. Neither did any of the others; he just made it up. Sadly he probably thought he had called them because someone told him he had.

    Until then I hated his policies but found him sort of likable. After that I hated him to his soul. He should at least have had to sense to know he wasn’t up to the job.

    Reagan was a miserable POS, and it’s really, REALLY hard for me to have any sympathy for him. Please see the post below. It’s one of the best articles written on this bag of puke.
    .
    From: https://consortiumnews.com/2012/02/20/ronald-reagan-worst-president-ever/
    .
    “With his superficially sunny disposition and a ruthless political strategy of exploiting white-male resentments Reagan convinced millions of Americans that the threats they faced were: African-American welfare queens, Central American leftists, a rapidly expanding Evil Empire based in Moscow, and the do-good federal government.

    In his First Inaugural Address in 1981, Reagan declared that “government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.”

    When it came to cutting back on America’s energy use, Reagan’s message could be boiled down to the old reggae lyric, “Don’t worry, be happy.” Rather than pressing Detroit to build smaller, fuel-efficient cars, Reagan made clear that the auto industry could manufacture gas-guzzlers without much nagging from Washington.

    The same with the environment. Reagan intentionally staffed the Environmental Protection Agency and the Interior Department with officials who were hostile toward regulation aimed at protecting the environment. George W. Bush didn’t invent Republican hostility toward scientific warnings of environmental calamities; he was just picking up where Reagan left off.

    Reagan pushed for deregulation of industries, including banking; he slashed income taxes for the wealthiest Americans in an experiment known as “supply side” economics, which held falsely that cutting rates for the rich would increase revenues and eliminate the federal deficit.”

    The truth is not an outrage. He HAD Alzheimer’s, and even Raygun spawn admits it.

    Methinks he doesn’t like Farrell.

      Ronnies adopted spawn…:)

        Point taken!

      • alpacadaddy April 28th, 2016 at 19:05

        His other son Ron, however is more ‘of this world’!
