His tweet is a big, metaphorical bulls-eye. And some observers are way too close to miss.

Trump is conscious of his physical difficulties and limitations. He knows that we see him having to use two hands to drink water. We know that "looking downward" is very difficult for people with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. He leans forward in a most conspicuous way. I don't know anything for sure, of course. But just watch what he does.

by producing angry, defensive, and bullshit-ridden tweets. The West Point speech bombed and is being mostly noted by his fumbling speech, his inability to hold a water glass with only one hand, and his staggering (definitely not running) down a shallow ramp that can't possibly have been slippery. And of course he draws even more attention to it by trying to deny it.

This is just pathetic. If he wasn't a complete monster, and didn't regularly mock others for their problems (real or imagined) it'd be sad.

Will need to study this ramp.

Ron Mace worked his arse off to initiate the Americans with Disability Act. If the ramp isn't in compliance with the Act, I'm sure the CiC can do something about it.
