Did Donald Trump "forget" that Ronald Reagan had Alzheimer's?

Yup, good old Dr Ronnie...


When did he get his license to practice medicine again?

Health
Early in his presidency, Reagan started wearing a custom-made, technologically advanced hearing aid, first in his right ear[279] and later in his left ear as well.[280] His decision to go public in 1983 regarding his wearing the small, audio-amplifying device boosted their sales.[281]

On July 13, 1985, Reagan underwent surgery at Bethesda Naval Hospital to remove cancerous polyps from his colon. He relinquished presidential power to the Vice President for eight hours in a similar procedure as outlined in the 25th Amendment, which he specifically avoided invoking.[282] The surgery lasted just under three hours and was successful.[283] Reagan resumed the powers of the presidency later that day.[284] In August of that year, he underwent an operation to remove skin cancer cells from his nose.[285] In October, more skin cancer cells were detected on his nose and removed.[286]

In January 1987, Reagan underwent surgery for an enlarged prostate that caused further worries about his health. No cancerous growths were found and he was not sedated during the operation.[287] In July of that year, aged 76, he underwent a third skin cancer operation on his nose.[288]

On January 7, 1989, Reagan underwent surgery at Walter Reed Army Medical Center to repair a Dupuytren's contracture of the ring finger of his left hand. The surgery lasted for more than three hours and was performed under regional anesthesia.[289] This procedure was done just thirteen days before he left office. For this reason, he had a hand and finger bandage the day of his farewell speech and the day of the inauguration of George H. W. Bush.

Actually, many thought Reagan was symptomatic the last two years he was in office. Who would ever admit that?

Thinking something and knowing it are two very different things it's possible he could have had Alzheimer's while he was President it's just as possible if he did he might not have started showing signs or symptoms until years later. The reality is no one really knows and never will this is all just opinion and speculation.
