I didn't realize it was that bad. Ronald Reagan proved that America doesn't need a president to function as long as it appoints a decent staff and delegates. That's pretty much what many monarchs did.
Behind the Ronald Reagan myth: “No one had ever entered the White House so grossly ill informed”

And that's the basic message behind the sitcom "Yes Prime Minister".
True, but Jim Hacker wasn't a borderline idiot. Reagan was.
How much video footage is there of someone standing behind him, feeding him the answers? When he wasn't being advised by astrologers, he was muttering about the End Times.
Reagan didn't know anything. This may have been the dementia that we later knew about. More likely he was a weird simpleton, your typical Republican politician. Even when he was diagnosed with dementia, no one was any the wiser. He seemed the same as he was during his presidency, a mentally deficient crackpot.
