Yes, we all know by now that the perfect storm of President Trump’s “nuke button” tweet, Michael Wolff’s fact-challenged book, and a disappearing Yale psychiatry professor’s lobbying trip fed into a week-long “national discussion” of Trump’s mental fitness. Looks like it was a slow week for news out of Robert Mueller’s Russia probe.

Exactly. You’d almost think that …
The Democrats are doing the same thing to Donald Trump that they did to Ronald Reagan–questioning his sanity, claiming he is senile and unstable, denying his fitness for office… https://t.co/Spw5GQY4m1

Here’s where actor John Ross Bowie, who played Barry Kripke on “The Big Bang Theory,” decided to weigh in with his concerns.
This would be quite the mic drop if Reagan … didn’t actually have Alzheimer’s. But he did, so … https://t.co/kRY7KXQfXx

I don’t necessarily think we should be armchair diagnosing anyone, but the leader of the free world has trouble stringing a sentence together. That’s cause for concern.

So we shouldn’t be armchair diagnosing anyone? Um, when did Reagan’s struggle with Alzheimer’s begin?

Oh, he’s not a journalist, but he could probably play one.
#MicDrop …..Reagan was diagnosed with Alzheimer's long after he left the Presidency, #Dems attacked him relentlessly~so yes, it does apply…..Einstein…..

Reagan's Alzheimer's was extremely unlikely to have caused impairment while he was still in office. It was many years before that happened. This is just a medical fact.

Well, he thought he’d dropped the mic. Now could we please drop the subject?

He might have trouble stringing a sentence together in terms of being eloquent, but not in terms of having dementia. This is such nonsense. https://t.co/vsBSmNCIAq

Hard to string a sentence together when you're being dragged into a van like of #SideOfBeef j/s.
She was later asked by an ABC reporter if she should undergo a neuro exam, she said no, and there was no follow up question.
So suck it. https://t.co/Nws5EYVAdz

John apparently missed that 16-month campaign where Trump would speak for an hour at every rally without notes. John misses a lot. https://t.co/mNeING88na

Have you ever seen Obama when he didnt have a teleprompter?
And since when is it cool to make fun of a persons language skills? Not everyone has the gift of speech. Famous people throughout history have had speech problems. Some people give great speeches. Some do great deeds. https://t.co/yx0wDE4yT2— Liberty ? Bella (@DreamWeaver61) January 8, 2018
Remember when the previous leader of the free world had to use a teleprompter in a small business meeting and in addressing a group of schoolchildren?

Maybe Democrats don’t want to go down this road.
