Trump wants you to see this video of him "running" down a ramp.pic.twitter.com/ZhzUVZ2xnX https://t.co/om7j89WhFk

He does have a little bit of trouble speaking and maybe needs help drinking water. (Perhaps he should consider using straws.) But thanks to "Momentum!" he can easily get down a steep ramp, thankyewverrymuch. Not that he precisely "ran" the last ten feet so much as ambled faster the last three.
Look, I'm in my mid-forties and my knees are already not great. I look like a damn penguin walking. Everyone misspeaks from time to time. I don't know what the water-holding thing is about, but it's possible that his right wrist has a repetitive stress injury from golfing--nothing major to get hyped about. Physical infirmities aren't a deal-breaker, and FDR and JFK both hid their health issues whilst being pretty competent in office.
It's only Trump isn't competent in office, and it's hard to pretend that he "projects strength" when his careless approach to things like, say, foreign policy and national security, are basically supine. He likes using people in uniform as a backdrop, only to say Chamberlin-esque things about "wars in foreign lands".
You know I'm no neocon, but he certainly didn't finish off ISIS, which he claimed he'd easily do, and if anything, North Korea and Iran are a bit more dangerous for having Trump and friends stumble around trying to figure out what to do with them. He also left us much more vulnerable to things like a pandemic or election fuckery. His State Department is hollowed out and he's gone through SecDefs and NSA's like pretzels, while showing an actual contempt for intelligence or expertise. He really hasn't hired "the best people" and his better people are gone and have developed unkind feelings about him. Basically, he's useless for anything but whittling or kindling. Also the economy bottomed out worse here in terms of unemployment than in many other places because he didn't build that.
He should be out of the job because he can't do the job, regardless of his physical fitness. But seeing his response and knowing that the folks around him desperately defend and cover up for his shortcoming in morality and veracity, I can easily understand why some assume the very worst about his health. After all, when something looks bad, is it not possible that it is bad?

What's funny about this is the ramp video looks terrible too. By posting it they guarantee that we will be talking about it for a few more days at least.
The man has a knack for taking any situation and making it worse.
