President Donald Trump is mentally fit for office, and the Democrats who suggest otherwise are playing partisan politics, Michael Reagan told Newsmax TV.
Addressing charges Trump is not healthy enough mentally to serve as president, Reagan turned the argument around during an appearance on "Newsmax Now."
"Isn't it interesting that they only question Republicans' mental capacity to be president of the United States – did they ever bring up any Democrats' mental capacity?" Reagan said. "They talked about [1964 GOP candidate Barry] Goldwater when he was for running for president, they talked about my dad, they talked about Bush. Now they're talking about Trump, but they never seem to talk about any Democrats who have run this country that their mental capacity is at all something to question."
According to the new tell-all book, "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," many in the Trump administration wonder if Trump is mentally fit for the office of president. Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy and others have dismissed the claims as fiction.

Reagan pointed to the economic gains under Trump as proof he is capable of being president.
"Ronald Reagan, accused of having Alzheimer's disease, brings the Soviet Union to their knees, brings the wall down, lowers taxes, and you can't go anywhere in this world today where he's not, in fact, loved," Reagan said. "Donald Trump doesn't have the mental capacity to be president of the United States. The market is at 25,000, unemployment is at 4 percent, jobs, jobs, jobs are being created.
"These are the kind of mentally impaired people we want to have as president of the United States."
