Other times the public didn't know what was going on behind the scenes.
JFK presented to the public as a healthy, athletic man. Except that he wasnt. He had Addisons disease And
IIRC, wore a back brace. And as for he and Jackie having a fairy tale marriage, they didnt.
Not to mention FDRs Physical condition. Not that he wasnt a terrific president. But the general public didnt know how bad his disability was.
Wilson had a stroke during his time as POTUS. His wife was basically running the country. The public didnt know.

And of course Reagan had Alzheimers in his second term.
And I know its another country, but the media certainly presented the courtship and marriage of prince Charles and lady Diana like it was a fairytale event. Later on of course we found out differently.
So....maybe someday down the road well know what was really going on with the Dotard.
Oh, and remember the Dotards quick visit to the hospital?
