The only possible innocent explanation is that he's obese and 73 years old and no longer comfortable on his feet. As for not so innocent explanations...

(17,609 posts)And again, think back to all of the BS about Hillary when she stumbled when she was ill in NYC.
We're probably gonna' catch some s**t for picking on the "poor guy" now because of this!

I want Trump to show signs of failure in steady increments so even his ardent supporters can't deny something is very wrong.
Timing is everything.

(106,599 posts)weight out front than his gut normally does (I guess he's trying to keep his chest in front of his gut), making balance more difficult, especially when going downhill.

(9,658 posts)He looked like an old man walking down a ramp.
He was doing the old man shuffle!
Nothing more nor less.

(17,609 posts)stuff with the standing.......problem walking down the ramp.......
Yeah, I'll thinking stroke.
Perhaps all of this is a way to take a "medical leave" and declare not to run for re-election - saving "face" (GAWD, who'd want to save THAT orange thing?) and not get his a$$ kicked come November.
And, I'll take it - ANYTHING to have him GONE!

(17,609 posts)(I know - it is NOT politically correct to do something like this these days, but this guy sure made a name for himself "back in the day!"

(10,780 posts)be seen or heard from the rest of that day? I wonder what that really was about, he does seem to be out of it lately.
Frustratedlady
(16,254 posts)That may be because he needs glasses and isn't sure of what's ahead of him.
His dementia hasn't stopped him remembering who to hate and yell at.

I think it's just his high heels that made him be cautious going down the ramp.
I think he also wears some sort of girdle to keep his gut in.

(63,221 posts)Had me worried there for a bit.
They will still grift of the taxpayers as long as he is president, though. We need to cut this family off. His adult children should not be getting secret service protection or travel paid for by the American taxpayer.

(69,629 posts)he is not well, he needs to be put away for the rest of his miserable life. Bastard.

(32,265 posts)I tend to think it's lifts in his shoes and, possibly, a girdle type garment or bullet proof vest. I don't know how to explain the jerky movements or two-handed drinking, but on the golf course many of the physical anomalies we've seen don't appear to be present.
captain queeg
(11,780 posts)If hes shorter than usual that would indicate he doesnt wear his lifts on the course.
