Like predicting I'll get wet as I'm dropping into a pool!
It's a target rich environment.

You know this squat tumblers that hold 6 or 8 ounces?

Yeah, he was double-handing one of those during the West Point ceremony/COVID-19 hotspot creation.

I think it originally was on Twitter.

And something about him having trouble walking down a ramp

Weak and unstable and pointed out the way he walked down a ramp and how he needed two hands to get the glass to his mouth.

Probably would have died there but he tweeted how dangerous the steps were but nothing about the water.

Because he tweeted about going down the stairs all the major outlets, CNN, WP, NYT, showing that his excuses (it was slippery) were bananas but no one referred to the "drinking problem".

He amplifies these negative stories by tweeting about them.

Maybe early stages?

I once had the occasion to assist an elderly man eating. It was terribly difficult for him to feed himself, but he was very determined to do it. I had the time to help him try, where most people caring for him did not, as it was a very slow process.

He would finally get a small amount of food on to his fork. He then tried slowly, and with difficulty to bring it to his mouth. Many times he would get 6-10” from his mouth, but just couldn’t make his arm move those last few inches. Instead of giving up, he would move his hand back out and start the process over. Sometimes he was successful, sometimes he wasn’t. Must have been very frustrating, yet for him, it seemed preferable to having someone else feed him, with the loss of control.

That’s what that video reminds me of. It seems like Trump was unable to get his brain to command his arm to move those last few inches to reach his mouth. His solution was to use his other hand, which maybe isn’t as affected?

Or maybe all that experimental hydroxychloroquine is affecting him?

he's created such an extreme caricature to draw in attention and support from his idiotic base of deplorables that there is no coming back from it.
