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.
How many times did he salute? One for each two cadets, so that would be 500+ times. It’s a miracle he could hold a glass after that.
Very obvious what is going on here. The media has received its marching orders from the DNC; they want to cover up Biden’s Alzheimers so they throw shade for some nonexistent physical disability at Trump. It is an old Stalinist trick - whatever you are concerned about in your background accuse your opponents of doing. These “news” papers are nothing other than The Volkische Beobacter of today’s left.

It’s very much a deflection. They tried it with Hillary too. They hid the fact she was falling down.
I’m five years younger end active and I fell of the tractor once and tripped over some pipe while dragging a big fan just in the last week. I’m not as limber as I once was but I’m still able. I also try to be more careful now. Doing anything else is just stupid.
” I posted an article and the entire body of the article for discussion.”
Video?
The President mentioned in a tweet that there was a long ramp with no handrail that he had to walk down. He said he ended up running at the end. WP was remiss in not providing a handrail for the ramp. Most people over 50 need rails in such circumstances.
The President is an avid golfer. Perhaps that is the issue.
what are you talking about? Are you in here as the thread police or to discuss the article and media which is the TOPIC of this thread?
The main stream media is a criminal cult. It executes continuous information warfare against the people of the United States.

yes they are, and most are dumb. very dumb. It was always fun with someone way more intellectual would get on and demolish them. When Gingrich was on his game, nobody on the left could touch him when they’d have him on to debate him on something.
“what are you talking about? Are you in here as the thread police or to discuss the article and media which is the TOPIC of this thread?”
I didn’t post to you till after you posted to me.
My post which you replied was a reply to another, not a reply to you and made no reference to you or your post.
And you misspelled “frist psot”.

Then again, it could be quinine/tonic water and he has to force himself with two hands to drink it.
I caught the clips on Youtube.
1) water drinking: he lifted the glass with one hand and then used the other hand to push it up to drink. He didn’t look at the glass of water. I imagine he used the other hand as not to spill by accident.
2) Ramp: the ramp was 45 deg. There was no rail. He wanted to be careful. After he got off the ramp, he walked normally.
3) Speech: he wasn’t too enthusiastic. He hasn’t been lately since the coronaf**k.
With everything he’s going through, he’s doing much better than I can imagine.
So the President drank wanter and didn’t fall down.
What am I missing?
I’m calling it gout.
Been there. Got the T-shirt.
The lame stream media just WISH they cOuld find something to complain about President Trump’s health over.
A hangnail would be grounds for amputation most likely

Where’s the barf alert??
thanks I don’t have a twitter account.
I don’t give them my money and information.
He has always been overly cautious when walking up steps, down ramps, etc. He doesn’t want to fall on camera for the media to play over and over. #FakeNews
