Donald J. Trump does HAVE physical issues with his motor actions….
At West Point today it took him two hands to drink some water…
It isn’t first time people have noticed this….
Secretive Trump won’t admit or let on what the condition is…
But although people have been worried ab out Joe B Biden’s age and abilities?
It appears a younger Donald Trump actually displays more ….
There WILL be more on this….
He’s trembling again.
President Trump struggled to lift a glass of water Saturday during his speech to U.S. Military Academy graduates at West Point.
Trump started to lift the glass with his right hand but seemed unable to guide it all the way up to his lips.
The president used his left hand to steady the glass and tilt it into his mouth.
After his speech, Trump also looked unsteady as he walked down a set of stairs after a lethargic speech to the graduates of the Army college.

@atruparReplying to @atruparTrump still hasn’t totally figured out how to drink water
Lipstick Killer@lipstickkillsthen, there’s the stairs.
He also had difficulty pronouncing the name of iconic World War II Gen. Douglas McArthur.
The incidents took barely a couple of moments to play out but drew an instant reaction on social media.
One troll tweeted photos of Trump’s predecessor, President Barack Obama, grinning as he used just one hand to a hold a coconut.
Others recalled one time Trump rival Sen. Marco Rubio’s infamous speech in which he repeatedly sipped from a water bottle.
Despite the jokes, Trump’s health is a topic of intense interest and his every move is closely watched.
Trump critics and even some medical professionals believe the tics are signs of potentially serious medical problems.
“This is a persistent neurological sign that, combined with others, would be concerning enough to require a brain scan,” Dr. Bandy Lee, a Yale psychiatrist wrote on Twitter.
It’s the second time in a couple of weeks that Trump has drawn attention at a public event.
He appeared unable to stand still during a solemn ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day. Some observers noted that he had difficulties lifting a wreath with his right arm.
Trump insists he is in perfect health and the White House released an annual physical that claimed he is in good shape for his age. He turns 74 on Sunday…..
The “Joe Biden is too old” issue is going to take a hit after this performance.
Biden may stutter
But he can walk and even run and do push-ups
And has no trouble lifting a glass of water..
There REALLy no comparison ….
And Biden is older…

The ramp that I descended after my West Point Commencement speech was very long & steep, had no handrail and, most importantly, was very slippery. The last thing I was going to do is “fall” for the Fake News to have fun with. Final ten feet I ran down to level ground. Momentum!
You guys may be taking this a bit literally. This seems to be an effort of anti-Trump folks to troll DJT, Beyond the Biden aspect, there was tons of online talk in 2016 about Hillary not being well and unable to walk down stairs, etc, which was incredibly exaggerated (although she did cause a problem for herself by going out with pneumonia on 9/11/16 and having a legitimate episode) and all sorts of unfair talk about what “is wrong with Hillary.”
I have no issue at all with the trolling, but to take this literally would be to do the same thing the pro-Trump conspiracy theorists did last time.
Trump is 74, obese, eats fast food constantly, disdains exercise and admits he only sleeps 3 or 4 hours a night.
That stuff catches up with you.
