Presidential advance teams know almost everything

Anonymous
Has any Presidential historian ever bothered to interview members of advance teams? I just learned that, long before the shooting, Reagan's advance team actually measured the number of steps he had to take to get from his car to the front door of an embassy, for example. His every move, word, outside of the White House was carefully scripted. To his credit, he took direction very well. His loyal family members' protestations notwithstanding, his advance team suspected dementia long before his diagnosis. According to my sources, this degree of "direction" has never been seen before or since. I actually don't have a political agenda in posting this. Just kind of appalled that we could have a President who needed this degree of management to hide his real limitations. Advance teams - wow. They are vaults, until no one cares anymore, I guess.

What about Woodrow Wilson?

Wasn't he half dead in office?

JFK was on a cocktail of drugs, he had very real difficulties moving.

All of them facilitated the movement of mistresses.

Advance teams and USSS truly are the vault. But they sorta operate like a closed cult.

Pretty much! Edith Wilson did a lot of propping up. Kind of like Nancy Reagan did. Maybe we owe them a debt of gratitude for perpetuating the myth of the great man steering the ship of state when the great man was actually incapacitated. There's a book there for a feminist historian. ("Untold tales of wives who saved their husbands from destroying the US government"?) Would that the 45th wife had that influence.

FDR doesn’t serve four terms if his polio was acknowledged. So much was done to deceive the American people by him and his team.
