They tented the ramp to the for his visit today so we couldn’t see him lose to yet another ramp. It’s never had a tent in the 35 years I’ve lived here.

1. If Biden had done that, it would be At the top of Fox News for weeks

[Johnny2X2X]

10. I was going to post the same thing

If Biden had done this, FOX would break into their shows and they'd be talking about this for weeks. What is he hiding?

[AllaN01Bear]

17. and endless hearings to bood , oh i forgot, the courts stripped congress of their

subpoena powers a while back. however a full repugblican congress could figure a work around .

[Iliyah]

2. Wheel chair use! . . .

[LiberalBrooke]

4. I think you are right.

It is a rather steep ramp and I do not think he can navigate it on his own.

[Buckeyeblue]

6. If it's wide enough they'll use a golf cart.

If a picture of him in a wheelchair got out, it would blow his whole scheme of lies.

[duforsure]

3. Hiding the stroke damage

That's why the Biden health attacks, because trump's tells is project his issues onto others. Cause, high blood pressure, neurological conditions, pre-dementia?

[Lucky Luciano]

24. Pre? LOL

[KY_EnviroGuy]

5. My bet would be on a golf cart.

Also would bet they fly one with him everywhere he goes, along with The Beast.

Trump surely has heart blockages by now.


KY..........

[Yeehah]

7. It's obvious they did this for the doddering dotard

There is no shame in having a physical disability. But trump's callous and juvenile mocking of the disabled should make him the object of scorn for actions like this to hide his feebleness.

8. +1

[sprinkleeninow]

25. No, there's no shame. I have two canes that I try to use after dislocating my shoulder in 2018.

Not steady on my feet and don't want to fall any.

The admin. does trump's bidding such as this cover for the ramp to protect his lying 'image'. He's a perfect specimen, you see.

Mb tho the cover was provided so his honkin' bald spot didn't get burnt by the still strong NC sun.

He should have compunction for when he mocked that disabled reporter, but he won't. The enemy of our souls has got ahold of tЯump bigly.

12. You win!

And you owe me a keyboard!

[IronLionZion]

19. A big steaming load of it will pass through

[MontanaMama]

21. This!

[aggiesal]

29. I swear DU Members have the best sense of humor. I love reading this site just for that purpose ...

[bringthePaine]

13. pathetic! bet his tax returns are in there too...

[bucolic_frolic]

14. It's only an issue if it indicates his mind is truly going, going ...

If it's just the physical disabilities of age, we'd best let it go.

FDR used a ramp. Some Senators have used a cane. It goes with age.

[Kaiserguy]

16. If Trump dealt honestly

with any health issues he has it would be a different story. But like everything else in Trump world he lies about it. There in is the problem the American people deserve to know the truth at all times about the president health.

[IronLionZion]

20. With Trump it's the hypocrisy

since he has mocked disabled people and challenged Biden's cognitive abilities and Hillary's fitness

[bucolic_frolic]

23. Ah, there you have a point

But it can still blowback on us if our own candidate has a minor misstep and the MSM fails to connect the hypocrisy because it's twice removed from the event - 2 missteps and a hypocrisy. Connecting 3 things is too complex for their 30 second minds. That's why I say let it go, it won't convert a lot of votes, there are bigger issues.

But you are correct.

[MineralMan]

15. He probably was taken up and down that ramp in a wheelchair

FDR was in a wheelchair, and rarely were any photos of him ever taken using it. Hiding evidence of physical infirmities is part of presidential history, it seems.

[Hugin]

18. That's my guess, too.

They may even have had to use a golden gurney for Old Yeller.

I'm also speculating that when he was briefed about the preparations for this event is what precipitated the TIA tweets from the First Twit.

It's obviously not just about the Sun and heat. Because, the sides are covered as well.

[wnylib]

31. I see differences, though, in how FDR

handled his physical disability and how Trump is dealing with what surely is also a disability of some kind.

The nation knew that FDR had limited use of his legs and they knew that the reason was polio. They also knew that his mind still functioned clearly and sharlply, despite his physical disability. On occasion, FDR walked, using braces and canes rather than be wheeled in a chair. He knew that people perceived walking as strength compared to being in a wheelchair. People admired and respected the determination and courage that it took for him to walk. And he did not ridicule the disabilities of others, even before he became disabled himself.

Trump, however, has publicly ridiculed people for real and imagined disabilities. He tries to hide the very fact that something is wrong.with him now. No transparency whatever about it. No information on what the nature of the problem is. He appears to have a neurological problem, which might affect his thought processes and decisions. The nation has a right to know whether the guy with access to nuclear codes is firing on all cylinders mentally. If he isn't, then who is making decisions and policies and using him as a front man?

22. Give him a break....

The hurricane was already in Alabama and heading West before predicted to reverse course 180 degrees and head right for......

[CaptYossarian]

26. You don't see the silver lining here.

We just avoided having America's Funniest Videos airing on C-SPAN.

But we'll always have the toilet paper footage.

[Gothmog]

27. trump is not well

[StarryNite]

28. More likely to prevent him from being sniped while he shuffles along.
