Trump seems unable to stand up without bracing himself

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

He's always leaning when speaking at the podium.

1. While tonight in Biden's town halll he stood the entire time without a podium.

What a contrast!

2. He stays up all night tweeting. His body is giving out.

The asshole gets no pity from me.

3. Hey look the morbidly obese man-toddler is lying again

4. Gouty McGoutface

Or a stroke of a stroke?

5. I think the podium leaning thing is about swagger, like a drunk at the bar..look at me

[Binkie The Clown]

6. Hope he's not seriously ill.

If he drops dead of natural causes Fox News will find a way to blame the Democrats, or the "deep state", and will crank the conspiracy engine up to full.

7. Trump will require a podium for support in the debates

It doesn’t appear he can stand for any length of time without some type of support to hold on to. His health is obviously failing.

8. It would be hilarious if the use of a podium was allowed, with

tRump jumping at the chance to use it. Meanwhile, Joe should have the option of refusing one to show how fit and stable he is, especially by comparison.

tRuump will come off as the sloppy old man.

14. Trump would pitch a fit & the debate hosts would comply with his wishes

Trump usually gets his way.

[Totally Tunsie]

21. But that's my point! They'd BOTH get their wish.

Just the announcement during the reciting of the debate rules would be jocular. "President tRump has elected to use a podium for this debate, while V.P. Biden has chosen to not use one."

l'il donnie could lean against his podium to hold himself up, and Joe could stand and roam free with no podium. It would make tRump look weak and impaired, and be done so by his own wishes!

[dlk]

23. That's true

[machoneman]

24. Yes, I agree! Trumpy will lean heavily and President-elect Biden will dance arounfd him! Hah!

Take that, fatorangeboy!

9. Just please stroke out.

Sorry, karma, I’m at my wits end.

[Demovictory9]

10. He leans hard on that podium

[Luz]

11. To be fair, as a woman I know how hard it is to stand that

long in high heels

[Buckeyeblue]

12. I bet he is on statins for cholesterol which cause leg weakness

If you couple that with obesity and the possibility of some minor strokes, he probably does have a hard time standing without leaning on something. It wouldn't surprise me if he had a walker in the private residence. Either than or he walks close to furniture so he can get extra support as he moves about.

19. Do you really think he's on any medications other than mild-altering pharmaceuticals?

Because to accept a prescription for treatment (of hyperlipidemia for example), to say nothing of filling it and taking it as directed, would be an admission that he's a human being with weaknesses and frailties like the rest of us.

I mean, those weaknesses are as plain as day to the rest of us, but to this narcissist? Probably not...

[Buckeyeblue]

20. He's an old man on medication because deep down he's afraid to die

[Aristus]

22. Well put.

[LiberalBrooke]

13. I honestly could empathize with physical disabilities if he had anything else going for him.

I am younger than don the con and myself have quite a few limitations. However, he outright mocks those who are limited and does not care about anyone. I want to mock him for his lack of caring, for his cruel on purpose policies and for his many lies. I would support a good leader who happened to have physical issues.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

17. Well said

Franklin Roosevelt as we know was disabled and was one of the most compassionate and inspiring leaders ever.

As you say it's Trump's tendency to mock others with disabilties that is disturbing.

One might hope the physical limitations he seems to be facing would at least give him a sense of empathy but I think he might consider that a sign of weakness.

15. Podiums and chairs at the debate...

Joe should announce right at the beginning of the debate that he isn't going to use his.

[RobinA]

16. I Really Can't

fault him for anything that minor. Plus, I'm a leaner myself. And I have nothing at all wrong with me. I just lean if at all possible.

[Aristus]

18. Believe me, when Trump is up and about, we all brace ourselves...
