RT: ‘Parkinson’s? Dementia? Stroke?’ Trump’s ‘weird’ West Point appearance turns Twitter sleuths into medical experts
Donald Trump’s address at the West Point Military Academy has been dissected and analyzed by hundreds of wannabe online neurologists concerned by the supposedly ‘deteriorating health’ of the US commander-in-chief.
At one point during his speech to US military academy graduates on Saturday, Trump used both of his hands to lift a glass of water, while at the end of it he descended the ramp extremely carefully – too carefully for some.
These two “distressing” incidents were enough for the vast crowd of Trump detractors to declare the US leader unfit for service, propelling the #TrumpIsNotWell hashtag into top trends and diverting attention from what he had to say.

WNU Editor: I have seen him drink water like that from a glass/wine glass/etc. a couple of times over the years. That is nothing new. Just check out the video below from two years ago ridiculing him on how he drinks water.
But he was definitely careful walking down that ramp until the last few steps where he accelerated. I would not make much from this video. But if it happens a few times again, I would be asking questions. But for the moment it is just a distraction being used by his critics to not report on his speech, which is unfortunate because his remarks on racism in America were significant and newsworthy.
Update: President Trump has since responded to those who noticed he was careful walking down that ramp (see below).
The ramp that I descended after my West Point Commencement speech was very long & steep, had no handrail and, most importantly, was very slippery. The last thing I was going to do is “fall” for the Fake News to have fun with. Final ten feet I ran down to level ground. Momentum!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 14, 2020

NUCULAR,
R,
Business shoes are extremely slippery when they're new and of luxury brand as the new soles are like mirrors. Had several above >300GBP, which is regular upper middle class (not even luxury) buys in London. Any businessman knows how easy it is to slip in any business shoes-not even saying news ones, but those especially. Slipped several times and am less than a third Trump's age.
Did the secret service check his diapers?
No, but a social worker did check your diapers. You know your toys do cause rectal bleeding. If you want to stay continent, you may consider stopping that lifestyle.
Nice. Sounds like you have some repressed psycho-sexual conflicts you need to deal with.
You'll make a good little fascist boot-licker. Heck, half the brownshirts were repressed homosexual sadists. You'd fit right in.
You continually bring up diapers. Maybe I should contact authorities. Who knows what you do with you free time, when you are not trolling? Funny thing about the brownshirts is that they were brown on the outside but red on the inside (Beefsteak Nazi). It is a small step from National Socialism to International Socialism.
You are a Beefsteak fascist, 9:05.
In some cities, the numeral strength of party-switching beefsteak Nazis was estimated to be large. Rudolf Diels (the head of the Gestapo from 1933 to 1934) reported that "70 percent" of the new SA recruits had been Communists in the city of Berlin.
So on the Eastern front we had German communists killing Russian communists. One big happy family.
9:05 got a SA uniform done up all in leather for his visits to San Francisco.

BRIDGEWATER, N.J. — President Trump late Saturday tried to explain his slow and unsteady walk down a ramp at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, which had generated concern and mockery on social media, by claiming the walkway was “very slippery” and that he was worried about falling.
The walk in question came at the conclusion of Saturday’s commencement exercises at West Point, where Trump was the guest speaker. As he exited the raised platform by descending a ramp alongside Lt. Gen. Darryl A. Williams, the academy’s superintendent, Trump was visibly tentative and took short, careful steps.
Video of the moment was widely shared on social media, with critics of the president — including Republican operatives working on the Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump group whose ads have provoked the president’s ire — using the hashtag #TrumpIsNotWell in their tweets.
AD
The chatter seemed to get the attention of Trump, who is spending the weekend at his golf club in Bedminster, N.J. At 10:57 p.m. Saturday, the president wrote on Twitter: “The ramp that I descended after my West Point Commencement speech was very long & steep, had no handrail and, most importantly, was very slippery. The last thing I was going to do is ‘fall’ for the Fake News to have fun with. Final ten feet I ran down to level ground. Momentum!”
Elements of Trump’s explanation strained credulity. Trump’s claim that the ramp had been “very slippery” was inconsistent with the weather, which on Saturday in West Point, N.Y., was sunny and clear-skied. The grass plain on which the commencement took place was dry.
In addition, Trump wrote that he “ran down” the final stretch of the ramp. Video footage of the episode shows the president picking up his pace slightly for the final two steps, but that would hardly be considered a run or a jog by any standard definition.
Once on flat ground, Trump appeared to walk normally as he surveyed the field and mingled with officers on his walk to board Marine One, which was parked roughly 100 yards or so from the platform stage.
This is a media attempt to equalize Trump and Biden, who really does have neurological problems.
and your evidence?
sad to say but the "rejoinders" here are childish, chudish, and moronic
