Who was really talking about this and why would he bring it up?


Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
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!


The video, I should note with no running.

The Lincoln Project put out video of him going down the ramp earlier Saturday asking whether he was "physically well." 100% guaranteed it was a response to that since they're very, very good at getting under his skin.

There is much to do about him drinking water two handed while his hands trembled, which could be spun into a Hillary like had a stroke campaign. The fact is that Trump drinks water with two hands like a small child. If you Google it you’ll find lots of images and he needs to do hands Pollis glass of water ever. We’re talking kiddie cat and juice glasses.

This is a major story and furthers the seriousness of needing to understand the clandestine medical issue he had to be rushed to hospital for 6mos ago.

He looked like a 70+ year old going down a ramp and he's always used 2 hands to hold water. Doubt there is anything extreme going on here.

I am sincerely trying to decide if this is actually an Onion thing and I am just missing it:

Congressman Gaetz revealed on his podcast "Hot Takes with Matt Gaetz" today that he is drafting legislation compelling US Soccer to reverse the decision they made repealing Policy 604-1, which requires players to stand for the national anthem.

“I don’t like soccer enough, for the US to even have a soccer team, if that soccer team is going to disrespect our anthem and our flag,” Gaetz declares. “It is not like some essential thing that we have to have, if latched to the US Soccer Team is this sense of such extreme wokeness that we cannot be proud of the United States while wearing the uniform of the United States.”

Gaetz differentiates this controversy from the NFL allowing players to kneel during games. “I think this is very distinct from the NFL player kneeling thing, because as much as I oppose that and don’t like it . . . At least those are private people, working for a private company . . . who absolutely have the first amendment right, to do whatever the heck they want to do, so long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else.”

Trump is terrified of stairs, ramps, drops etc. Early in his term that weird video of him clinging to Theresa May as they walked around the White House colonnade went around.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2017/jan/27/trump-may-hold-hands-white-house-video

The two handed drinking is characteristic of age related decline in fine motor skills and spatial orientation, part of an overall decline in cognitive abilities that accelerates in one's mid-to-late 70s. This could be related to a specific health event or crisis, but doesn't have to be. He's an elderly man who appears to be obese, which is a risk factor for these kinds of difficulties.

As a country, we need to have that hard talk you have with mom and dad about getting some help in or looking at brochures for that retirement community. Trump is 74. Biden will be 78. McConnell is 78. Pelosi is 80. Schumer will be 70. Bernie will be 79.

@augustus, you are completely correct hat politics needs new blood that is not representing the octogenarian class. I get the offensive 'OK boomer"to the point that there are more of the then "us", but clearly they are the past.

“The more bad things happen in the country, it just solidifies support for Trump,” said Phillip Stephens, GOP chairman in Robeson County, N.C., one of several rural counties in that swing state that shifted from supporting Barack Obama in 2012 to Trump in 2016. “We’re calling him ‘Teflon Trump.’ Nothing’s going to stick, because if anything, it’s getting more exciting than it was in 2016.”

This year, Stephens said, “We’re thinking landslide.”

SCOTUS held that an employer who fires an individual based on orientation or gender identity violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.

Thank god Gorsuch really loves text.

The other three really mask-off saying 'congress didnt mean this kind of sex discrimination!' while pointing at the majority and saying 'theyre legislating!'. The logic is pretty unassailable...if you fire one person based on their attraction to men and not another (the man, and not the woman), that man is being discriminated against on the basis of sex. So in fact they are just applying the text of the law.

Ted Cruz wants Ron Perlman to wrestle Gym Jordan.

https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1272390385327837193

@tedcruz
Listen Hellboy. You talk good game when you’ve got Hollywood makeup & stuntmen. But I’ll bet $10k—to the nonpolitical charity of your choice—that you couldn’t last 5 min in the wrestling ring w/ @Jim_Jordan w/o getting pinned. You up for it? Or does your publicist say too risky?

@perlmutations
Teddy, Teddy, what kind of a muthafucka offers to have another guy, probably asleep at the time, kick another guy’s ass?

@perlmutations
Let’s get back to bidness ted. jim jordan’s too easy, just a little bitch. But you teddy, you talk shit about New York every chance you get. My hometown. It’s personal. Let’s go mofo!
