In the year 1989, during a candid question and answer session with a group of students, then-President Gerald Ford made a prediction that continues to resonate with us today. His words, spoken in a time when the world was different, hold particular significance in the context of the discussions surrounding our current president's mental health.

The question that sparked this remarkable moment was posed by a young girl: "Do you think there will ever be a woman president?" President Ford's response was both insightful and hopeful. He firmly believed that the United States would indeed see a woman ascend to the highest office in the land.
Fast forward to today, and we find ourselves in a world where discussions about presidential mental health are
