But spent 5 minutes on the build up and is still talking about the ramp, he even pantomimed the hunched over walk.

It was actually hilarious. A total of 10+ minutes on this one story...now he is on the water and why he couldn't get the cup to his lips.

Just a babbling idiot.

So I am unsure if he drank water after the salutes or before.

I think his mind is going, or the Adderall is kicking in.

times that he can drink water with one hand.

Let me repeat that. The president of the United States felt it necessary to repeatedly demonstrate that he can drink from a glass of water using only one hand! (What a man!)

This whole rally is going to be a great deal of material for Sarah Cooper and The Lincoln Project.

He is just plain crazy.

I knew he was going to go off the rails and self destruct and people would still clap and cheer.

You can't cure these people.

He ran the last ten feet but the fake news cut that part off.

The ramp was dry. It hadn't rained. There was no reason for it to have been wet. The officer walking next to him had no trouble.

He's just pathetic. If he weren't so evil I'd feel sorry for him.

Do you suppose the Army, under the control of the Deep State, did that deliberately just to mess with him?



Military dress shoes typically do not have thick rubber soles, btw.

The media cut it off before I ran down the ramp. He ran down the last 2 feet in his tiny baby steps. What an idiot. LOL

Interspersed with shouts of, 'It's TRUE!'.

He's deep into the water story now. Claims that he couldn't lift his arm after saluting 600 times, and was also trying to protect his expensive silk tie from dribbles...and now he just took a sip from a glass to prove he could do it!

And now he going off on statues and flags.

So did he drink before he saluted or after? I think his mind might be going.
