Trump has trouble lifting glass of water and walking down ramp at West Point graduation
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS ^ | 06/14/202 | Me

He’s trembling again.

President Trump struggled to lift a glass of water Saturday during his speech to U.S. Military Academy graduates at West Point.

Trump started to lift the glass with his right hand but seemed unable to guide it all the way up to his lips.

The president used his left hand to steady the glass and tilt it into his mouth.

After his speech, Trump also looked unsteady as he walked down a set of stairs after a lethargic speech to the graduates of the Army college.

Apparently rattled by the coverage, Trump defensively took to Twitter late Saturday to explain his actions.

“The ramp...was very long & steep, had no handrail and, most importantly, was very slippery,” he wrote on Twitter. “The last thing I was going to do is “fall” for the Fake News to have fun with.”

He also had difficulty pronouncing the name of iconic World War II Gen. Douglas MacArthur and Gen. Ulysses S. Grant.

The incidents took barely a couple of moments to play out but drew an instant reaction on social media.

NYT also running similar story.

This crap again.
Remember when Hillary was falling down with seizures and nobody said anything? Now Biden is barely coherent and four years older than POTUS yet we get stories on Trump's health concerns.
The media is a cult.

Bro give a little background in your post when you put up a thread like this.

This is the first time I’ve read or heard he had any issue with holding anything or walking.

I hate when people post a thread but are too lazy to comment on it.

I’m on a roll tonight :)

I think it’s time to retire to bed

ciao all

PS I HATE HATE HATE The Daily News and can’t wait until Trump wins again and some of those on the left have strokes and heart attacks.

To be fair I am sure these media outlets are also reporting on Joe Biden’s daily slip-ups. :-)

Give the guy a break.......not you snarkytart.....he’s got the weight of the world on his shoulders, liars, thieves and subversives, even some cabinet member and generals have put a target on his back. I despise these people but I have faith our President will still win in this everyday battle with forces that hate him.

I watched the graduation on Fox yesterday, and I did not see or hear any of this. Maybe this happened when FOX cut to Senator Scott. But I didn’t see it and no-one on FOX pointed this out at the time.

This story is everywhere, including biased coverage in NYT and W Post.

I watched the videos. IMHO the glass was a completely normal motion, he picked it up with one hand and reached underneath with the other to make sure it didn’t spill.

He was being very careful coming down the stairs, but he bounded off at the end. Why was he being so careful? He says the steps were narrow and wet, they’re going on that it was a sunny day.

When you read the articles they practically admit they are exaggerating this because Trump supporters questioned Hillary’s health. And because of Biden being a mess. Duh.

Salute 500 times standing in the sun while 1000 gradutes pass in front of you and see if your arm and hand doesn’t feel the results of that....

If he gave out fake news saying he has aids, the Dems would just cancel their part in the election and give him a win.

Let me guess — the New York Daily News has yet to report on Joe Biden’s repeated gaffes and evidence that he is in the early stages of dementia.

You are absolutely right! Let’s keep praying for our President, his protection, his decisions and his stamina in the Precious Name of Jesus.

At worst, he’s having rotator cuff problems or arthritis in the shoulder and can’t schedule surgery because so much in going on.

Or perhaps he’s having similar issues, but with his elbow.

Or it is some sort of signal. He’s done other strange things while drinking water, but from bottles, like move the bottles on and off the table.

Now wonder the MSM doesn't want a Trump rally.

If he can stand in front of 20,000 people in an arena and give a 2 hour speech, that will stop the Trump health-scare stories for good.
