Love the Palmer Report's response to Trump's excuses about the ramp

Trump's silly tweet last night:






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!








Palmer Report:






Holy shit, where do we even start with this? The ramp was NOT steep. Trump's security detail wouldn't have allowed the ramp to remain wet. And if Trump was worried about not looking stupid on camera, why would he purposely waddle like a slow motion duck? Donald Trump is not well.

I have them, and while I can play tennis, do elliptical and other exercise, etc., that is what I would look like walking down even a dry ramp.

He is also, unfortunately, the president, and you're not. We have a right to know the status of the president's health, and he is showing signs that it isn't good - and it's probably something worse than just arthritic knees.

Security team didn’t at least provide a handrail is beyond me, unless they were secretly trying to make him look bad.

maximum speed.

'Momentum'? - he may have feared losing control on a slight ramp even.

Please post the video of him on his last ten feet of running down that ramp because I sure as hell didn't see it. Please put a sharpie mark around the run so I can clearly see it.

President Obama has more elegance in his pinky finger nail - than you have in your whole body.
