Let me make sure I understand what you’re saying.

The photos clearly show she did NOT stand on a small platform of any kind, rather it was a wide, clear and stable surface. The photo CLEARLY shows she needed support. There is NO indication she was either stepping up or down, in fact she could not have been since she was on that same wide open area. There is in fact NOTHING to suggest anything other than she was still speaking, as her legs are not bent and she was still holding the microphone.

Yet I’m supposed to interpret the situation per your scenario, of which there is no evidence at all? Is that what you’re saying?

What I am saying is, your attempts to argue that a 70 year old woman in a still photo, with no context having someone holding her arm while she is on a podium is not evidence of anything. What I am saying is, your attempt to claim that said still photo is proof of anything is woefully inadequate and that you are not going to convince anyone that your supposition that she’s having a medical crisis at that moment is simply of confirmation bias on your part. You believe she has an issue, so you view this as confirmation of your bias that she does.

I personally think she has medical issues as well, but I do not think for one second that this still photo is going to convince anyone, other than folks, like yourself who are predisposing themselves to a confirmation of their bias to conclude that this is evidence of any underlying issues.

The video of her being handled that has surfaced, that’s evidence that she’s certainly dealing with some issues, there is no way to conclude anything else from that video.. .this... this is not going to sway anyone other than those who already believe there is a problem.
