Trump just nearly biffed it walking up the stairs at his rally in NH...

1. Ha! I might watch over and over

[malaise]

4. What a great idea! Come on DU experts

Let's have this in repeat form

[RT Atlanta]

2. that man has a stair problem

my spouse commented on donnie walking down the WH stairs last night and how hard he was holding the railing, and - for the only time I know - actually gripping melanoma's hands (in a dont let me fall) manner.

[Thomas Hurt]

3. Its those lifts I tell ya. needs some pointers from Melania.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

17. No TH, it's not the lifts. I'd say it was a stroke. He demonstrates

difficulty performing typical tasks on one side of the body. He shows weakness and poor gross & fine motor movements. His lack of balance is also an indicator. My impressions of how he moves is from my many years in this field.

[AZ8theist]

36. I'm sure you are completely accurate in your assessment, but...

The second he falls over on his fat ass, they will be flooding the airwaves about Joe Biden's "dementia" or some stupid shit.
GUARANTEED.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

43. I agree - but it's not quite working. Bunker Boy was at the top of the stairs

when he stumbled. He would have had a long way down...... Perhaps God - you'd like to work in "strange ways" and help save this country & next time just let him go.

[sandensea]

59. But NOT until the election

We'd only end up with Dense Pence otherwise - and he's even worse.

[Rebl2]

52. Maybe one of those

quick trips that one weekend several months ago was because he had very minor/mini stroke. My father had one several years ago and by the time he got to the hospital his symptoms diminished. He got to go home the same day.

[Grammy23]

5. Oh, please. It is just a matter of time before he really does do a face plant.

Is it wrong of me to say, “Hasten the day!!” ??

[CurtEastPoint]

21. LOL on 'face plant' and I can see it!

I can picture him in any of these:

[NNadir]

51. I did this when I was holding my one year old son.

Thankfully I managed to twist in such a way that he wasn't injured, and I was only bruised.

It was over twenty years ago, but I still remember it.

[AZ8theist]

85. Thankfully, you and your son were not badly injured. It could have been worse:

[NNadir]

86. Believe me, I know.

That fall were some of the most terrifying microseconds of my life. I have never forgotten them.

[AZ8theist]

91. Same here.

I was cleaning my pool one afternoon with my 3 year old son. Looked away for a second when I heard a splash. I will never forget the look on his face. It was like, "Dad, what just happened?"
Luckily, I dove in and pulled him out. Nothing worse than wet clothes. (and DON'T TELL YOUR MOTHER!!!)

[Wounded Bear]

6. "I meant to do that!"

[Dream Girl]

9. He was just joking.

[KS Toronado]

45. Yea, just showing us the sense of humor he doesn't have

[brush]

7. I'm taking odds that he's going to plant on steps or a ramp...

before the election is over. Any takers.

[captain queeg]

35. I really hope you are right but not taking the bet.

That being said when it happens I’ll be glad to give you credit for the prediction.

Can hardly wait to hear Fox’s spin on the event.

[msongs]

8. maybe it's the crappy music nt

[Nevilledog]

10. Cool. Next hatefest will include a 15 min. diatribe on the steepest most slippery stairs EVER!

[sheshe2]

11. He sure has a coordination problem...

He sure has a coordination problem. He can't walk up the stairs or down the stairs without holding on for dear life. Ramps are another story all together as is his incoherent rambling thought process.

[Thomas Hurt]

12. I like how he stops after recovered, looked to his right, like no one saw that right?

Probably a sore subject for such a nutjob narcissist.

[Kid Berwyn]

78. Perhaps he was looking for someone to blame.

Dumbass microemoted angry eyes.

[riversedge]

13. chuckle. Trump trips going UP the stairs.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

16. That's a shitty thing to say.

[Silent3]

20. It's a play on Trump's "I like soldiers who don't get captured" about McCain...

...not the poster who you are responding to, or the Twitter poster, expressing prejudice against people who actually need walkers.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

24. Funny, it reads exactly like someone expressing prejudice against people who actually need walkers,

and without a single reference to McCain, POWs or getting shot down. Huh!

[mr_lebowski]

26. The reference is implied by the sentence structure/wording ...

It's identical to what Trump said with the subject and verb changed.

Whenever you see "I like X who don't Y" ... that's the first thing one should guess is it's a play on Trump's words. Esp when the subject is 'Presidents'.

Just sayin'

[WhiskeyGrinder]

30. Okay, it's an abelist comment based on an old Trump quote.

Still shitty!

[AnotherMother4Peace]

28. Gotta disagree. Bunker Boy's "I like people who weren't captured" is infamous. nt

[WhiskeyGrinder]

31. Okay, it's a famous comment tacked onto an ableist statement. Still shitty!

[whopis01]

44. Some people feel justified to use such statements because Trump does.

I don't like the race to the bottom attitude either.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

49. Yep. I try to call it out when I see it.

[Autumn]

33. I don't think the post needs a reference to McCain, POWs or getting shot down. We all know he

said that.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

71. I don't think we need ableist language to attack Trump. There's plenty of other shit to go after him

for.

[Autumn]

74. I think he can be attacked any way anyone wants to attack him.

I'm not going to complain about anything anyone says that points out any of the million things that is wrong with him.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

75. Sounds good; I'll continue to complain about ableist language I see people using.

[Autumn]

76. Go for it. No one is stopping you from doing so.

[treestar]

68. FFS

Context.

This is exactly what the right wingers make fun of. Don't make them right.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

73. I reject that there's a context in which it's okay to use ableist langauge to attack Trump, and that

this context and language is necessary to defeat him.

[Mossfern]

80. Please excuse my ignorance

but what is abelist language?

[WhiskeyGrinder]

81. Language that enhances social prejudice against/oppresses people with disabiliies.

[treestar]

88. Our society deserves credit for being well and long past that

There is accommodation for disabilities everywhere. And only Trump would make fun of someone for it. That's the point - he is especially deplorable, not normal.

[treestar]

87. It is making fun of TRUMP

not disabled people.

This is like finding excuses to feel like a victim. Like hardly anyone other than Trumpists would make fun of the disabled. So we have to look for it from other people when that's not the point? What is so comforting about feeling victimized?

[WhiskeyGrinder]

89. Calling Trump the n-word would also be making fun of him. That doesn't make it okay.

This is like finding excuses to feel like a victim. Like hardly anyone other than Trumpists would make fun of the disabled.

Could be. I do know plenty of people ignore the existence of or simply don't care about the layers of systemic oppression disabled people face in employment, housing, education and health care. It's all connected.

So we have to look for it from other people when that's not the point? What is so comforting about feeling victimized?

No idea what the first sentence means, but what you have wrong in the second sentence is that there is no comfort in feeling victimized -- but there is definitely comfort when someone recognizes that a system is victimizing you.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

25. We all need aids: glasses, meds, walkers, etc. Bunker Boy seems above us

all. He "prefers" people who don't need "_______". Bunker Boy obviously needs help.

This is a sarcastic version of that, especially his hateful statement about John McCain: "I like people who weren't captured" referring to his capture in Vietnam.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

32. Using ableist slurs against someone who is himself ableist is ableist.

[Tarc]

53. Too bad

We'll take whatever shot s necessary to usher this fucker out of office.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

61. Why not use racist slurs against him as well?

[Tarc]

69. You want me to say that Donald Trump is a cracker-assed white supremacist?

Sure!

[WhiskeyGrinder]

70. No, I mean the n-word.

If he's racist, why not use the atomic bomb of racist terms to insult him?

[Tarc]

83. Because Trump is not, um, black?

Didn't really think this through, did you?

[WhiskeyGrinder]

84. On the contrary, that's the entire point.

If he’s racist and dislikes BIPOC, why not use a slur leveled at black people to MaKe HiS HeAd eXpLoDe? People love to do it with homophobic, gender and fatphobic slurs — Why not broaden the weaponry?

[Tarc]

92. Neither logic nor rhetoric are your strong suits

Stop embarrassing yourself, please.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

94. .

[electric_blue68]

55. I'm not sure about that...

I think context can sometimes be a determinant.

I have had severe near-sightedness all my life, and my right one damaged from the less common retinal detachment (reattached) but complicated further by a big cataract since '08.

Less than normal hearing from birth, though I didn't even know that till the school nurse did the classroom check and I saw the letters next to my name were different! Uh, oh.

And temporary disabled through 2 major, 2 medium (same) ankle sprains.
Longer temporary crutches, wheelchair, quad cane because of tri-fractrured (the other) ankle ( w screws) over a few months.

So, yeah, had some inklings.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

60. Is using racist slurs to insult a racist person a racist act?

[electric_blue68]

62. Probably. I will think more the ableist aspect.

[GoneOffShore]

67. There was a DA in Philadelphia who had had polio.

He would walk into a bar, with his crutches, and if the place was packed and there were no seats would say, in a loud voice: "What? Nobody's going to give the cripple a seat?"

[torius]

15. He'll fight the stairona virus

Using all federal resources! He’ll build a wall to stop ramps that come in from Chy-na!

18. it's funny

but one fall and he's done.

19. I assume that's Least M'oaf I hear playing . . .

22. And his base

Claim that Biden doesn’t have the mental acuity and stamina to function as President....

[barbtries]

23. it's what i live for.

i want to see him fall. i want it so much.

[mr_lebowski]

29. Every day I hope against hope that something will befall him that I wouldn't wish on any other human

being.

Not even McConnell.

Okay, maybe McConnell also ...

down stairs without holding onto a railing. SAD

54. I hate that Lee Greenwood song. It represents the absolute worst people in America.

[Celerity]

72. It is the Horst-Wessel-Lied (Nazi anthem) of the American RW

If I heard it played over here, the argy bargy would flow like a river. Thank fuck I have never heard it played outside the US.

[Marie Marie]

56. I love the fact that the moment this happened,

he KNOWS that people will lump this with his inability to hold a glass of water or walk down a ramp. His self-pride will cause him more humiliation than any ridiculing from anyone else.

[area51]

57. Didn't Faux rerun the clip of Hillary almost fainting, multiple times in the past?

64. This makes me think about how FDR hid his disability

I am NOT comparing Dump to FDR. Hell naw. I'm just saying, a real leader would work to help build a world where people with disabilities don't have to hide anymore, where getting their needs met is no big deal and are able to rise to high positions if they have the drive and desire.

Hits harder after the loss of Chadwick Boseman, who kept his illness private for YEARS. I understand he might have wanted his privacy of course - but I have to wonder if he hid how sick he was because he thought he would be discriminated against if it was widely known. And he probably would have been right about that.


We already knew what Dump was made of during the first campaign where he mocked the disabled reporter. He's no leader at all. He's a cruel sociopath who torments others about their vulnerabilities and won't ever admit he has any of his own.

[Buns_of_Fire]

65. EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY: All staff will insure that no chewing gum

is offered to Dear Leader when he is scheduled to walk more than ten feet. This includes Tic Tacs.

If appropriate to the occasion, a single stick of Juicy Fruit may be left on the lectern as a reward.

[Buckeyeblue]

66. I wonder how much he is falling in private?

As I think about it, I wonder if the quick unannounced trips to the hospital are for falls. Maybe for a quick brain CT to make sure there are no brain bleeds. I wonder if he is on blood thinners?
