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.

Agreed. Probably rotator cuff issues. The man’s brain is as sharp as ever. The media is just being ridiculous at this point.

It’s because his biceps are SO LARGE! All that raising his hands to point at fake news reporters is bulking up his arms.

No worries. The President is fine. Just media creating a bunch of drama. Don’t believe it.

As you get older, your balance gets worse, so that would make sense.

He slid through impeachment and was rolling on a perfect economy. Then a pandemic quarantine, economic collapse, and race war. Things were looking up again with spring, better weather, more openings, recovering DJIA, and rallies. Dems can’t let that happen. Now he is going to be unhealthier than Biden... They need dueling natural disasters, like a hurricane in Florida and an earthquake through the Midwest to blame on him and seal their deal.

Or maybe another nuke from South Korea...

I watched the entire thing. Nothing to see here. If you go back several years you will see President Trump being cautious when walking up or down stairs.
The media is making a big deal about this but, they never ever comment on clueless Dementia Joe or, Hellery when she had to be handled on both sides to keep her on her feet just to get into a vehicle.
Or, when Hellery on numerous occasions, nearly fell on her face but for the fact she was surrounded by HANDLERS.
But, President Trump cautiously making his way up a wet steep ramp is a major deal to the MSM?

Thank you for the exercise, I blocked everyone on the second thread you linked to, a bunch of venomous self-impressed unprofessional losers. They will not darken my timeline again!

It takes neither money nor your information to have a twitter account. You can use a free hot mail account so you don’t even have to part with your usual email.

they collect your info from what you click on etc.
I had an account several years ago when it was taking off as the hot new thing. I chose not to add to that cesspool.

You do have to police your twitter interests & delete the bizarre interests that twitter generates, weekly. I follow POTUS & some patriots & push back on misinformation.

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....

YES. Thank you!

I use great ad blockers, I never see an ad. I don’t have a cell phone. They can track away.
They are dumb out of luck.

Thanks for those links. The President looked FINE drinking the glass of water. What the hell is the fuss about??

The ramp - without handrails - was ridiculous. I would be nervous and going down slowly, too. Why didn't they have stairs with a handrail?

The general (?) who walked beside President Trump down the ramp also went down pretty slow. Trump bounded very confidently to the ground when he reached the end of the ramp.

These so-called "concerns" by the Fake Media are totally ridiculous!

agree-he was being careful on the ramp and took small steps probably in dress shoes with slick soles-lots of us forget how damn slippery those can be on level ground

Yup. The Donald must be exhausted and should take a week off and go to Mar a Lago. Let the morons running cities and states figure out how to prevent their destruction.
