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.

Remember: The Left accuses their opponent of what they themselves are doing.

Looks like they are trying to give cover for Biden.

Classic use of one of Alinski’s rules for radicals — ridicule. Focus on this and not the unifying speech that he gave.

After standing for how long saluting over a thousand graduates?

Whatever drug cycle he is on leaves him crashing every few months.

If it was only a matter of the “sippy cup” it may be explainable, but his overall balance and gait is awful and he struggled to get through a speech he would have crushed in a 1/3 of the time four years ago.

His medical team needs to cut out his stimulants and hope their UV treatment works.

But as usual the media FAILS to report the facts, rather devises a story to create doubt and uncertainty regarding our President.

These attacks at every single level, 24/7 are to wear Trump and his famiy down in the eyes of the public.

Could be a rotator cuff issue.

The Trump campaign is raising questions about Biden’s health so it’s only to be expected that the Democrats will try the same. Every careful step, every slurred word, will be front and center in one of their commercials.

Could be. Trump just resumed golfing after a long layoff. Maybe he injured himself on a swing?

“he picked it up with one hand and reached underneath with the other to make sure it didn’t spill.”

most likely because some moron over-filled the glass, maybe even on purpose ...

POTUS Trump has commented in the past about being careful using Stairs.

To paraphrase, he said could you imagine what the Fake News reaction would be if I tripped and fell?
