In reply to the discussion: Trump tries to explain his slow and unsteady walk down a ramp at West Point [View all]CountAllVotes
(20,875 posts)28. When I graduated from college
I had to walk up on stage to receive my Master's degree. All I could think of was, "Am I going to fall? Will I embarrass myself to death and take another fall?".
Who thinks like this when going up on a stage with a couple of steps to master?
It was not a few months later that I figured out "who". "Who" was me and I had MS and all of the falls and the grabbing on to things to prevent falling are all part of it.
It seems to me he has a serious medical problem. He can only conceal it for so long before it becomes a huge problem. He is a fool to ignore it and make petty excuses for it. I know because I did the same stupid thing.
Denial will get him nowhere.
Idiot.

Thanks for the information. I've healed (knee replacements) but that doesn't let them off the hook.

Maybe it was his bone spurs flaring up. Or that he was escorted by a "multicultural" type,

It's interesting since he had to help his right hand to drink from the glass of water earlier.

I didn't think the walk was so slow, just odd, and the "circus music" made it even goofier.

I too would be cautious on a ramp. Also 65, I don't heal as quickly as I once did . . .

No one would be making fun or criticizing him if he weren't such a turd to begin with.
