Follers, Michael Reagan is adopted Ronald and Nanacy. Ron and Patti are not his biological siblings.
I know of all the Reagan family very well. Legally, they’re half-siblings (Michael is the adopted son of Ronald and Jane Wyman). So I left it at that.
I think that’s more than a bit misleading, but whatever.
