www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/ny-trump-glass-water-west-point-20200613-dkioabuiirhz7pelj465p2j6he-story.htmlI forgot, there are videos at the link...shows both. He went down those stairs like I go down when my right hip is killing me with pain....arthritis in mine. And something to remember as you age & start having problems with knees or hips or legs...and need to step up or down....Bad one always goes down...like going to hell, good one always goes up like going to heaven. A Dr. explained that to me years ago when I'd had toe surgery & when I switched from crutches to a cane.

Every time he says something about Biden’s age or health that video should be played

Possibly essential tremor like I'm getting. I seem to be dropping a lot of stuff. Last 3 days a pitcher, salsa, and something else. I try to make an effort to think about what I'm holding, I've broken so many dishes the last month. I am going back to a neurologist soon for a check. I don't know if this is related to that or something else. Even hubs noted that I sure am dropping a lot of stuff.
So he may have held the glass that way to keep from dropping it.
But yes he is 75, doesn't eat right and who knows what else, so his health is likely declining.

Trump tweeted about how the ramp was very steep and slippery and had no handrail but claimed, oddly, that he ran the last 10 feet (there is video- he did not).
Absolutely need to keep the video handy for when trump takes digs at slow joe.

trump drinks water from a bottle and glass like a toddler in its crib clutching a milk bottle during nappy time.

The water thing - weird.
But the way both men exited the ramp did make it seem like a steeper than normal ramp. The other guy didn't have as much trouble navigating it, for sure.

trump claims he ran the last ten feet off the ramp. That is the shortest ten feet I have ever seen.

He's an elderly, overweight man; lots of people would go down that ramp slowly.

Maybe a stair lift would be a good idea.

He's an elderly, overweight man; lots of people would go down that ramp slowly. And a lot of us would own it. My hand strength isn't what it once was. I recently bought a self-locking belay device because I can not trust that I could guarantee i could keep people safe without one. I took a major ego hit doing so but I had to accept it. That second hand on a cup is something I have had to do a few times. It is Trump's defensiveness against any hint that he is not human perfection personified that always concerns me.

Look again at how he went down that ramp....like I do when my right hip is hurting...right foot first always...not right, left, right, left. Something is way off....way, way off!
PS...will he hold onto the podium at the rally next Sat? Someone needs to watch carefully to see how he does.

Kind of using it as support with his left hand

Absolutely need to keep the video handy for when trump takes digs at slow joe. trump will claim it's a fake video and that he was never at West Point. What and give up the claim that he gave the bigliest, bestest, most rousing commencement speech of all times? Heck even Washington, U.S. Grant, and Eisenhower gave him a standing ovation. He is the bigliest leader of all time. He should have joined the military instead. Wait...never mind, I got carried away in my display of pure adoration for cadet bonespurs -and day drinking.

Clearly this was a robot planted by the democratic party to make Trump look bad.

Stairs. I thought it was fear of baths. That would not surprise me. He must feel dirty.

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

But yes he is 75, doesn't eat right and who knows what else, so his health is likely declining. This can be treated. I've had it for years as it runs in my family on my father's side. Inderal (propranolol), a beta blocker, very often helps essential tremor. If you're having problems because of the tremor, ask your doctor if it would be suitable for you to try. It sure helps me!
