What’s up with Trump?

Yeah, the ramp video is consistent with it being slippery (though yesterday was gorgeous with no rain - West Point is not far from me).
But the glass?
I'll bet his doctors will run some tests.
Only non-witches get due process.

I figured the whaddabout would be Biden.
But the thread hasn't died yet.
What do you make of the glass though? For real?

I found the glass most disturbing. Using one hand to perform a task, and bringing in the other hand to complete it is certainly not normal.
To my ("I was almost a neurologist") eye, it speaks to either a lack of co-ordination or, more likely, weakness.

Heh. Wait until September.
But that's speculative, of course. Hillary's fainting was not speculation , it happened. The fact that she didn't go to a hospital is also fact. I found it very troubling (not only in terms of symptoms, but also in terms of how it was handled).
I don't buy Trump's ramp story - he was clearly unstable at the time. But the glass story is also disturbing.

Good grief... talk about TDS...
That's how the man drinks from a bottle. So what? My grandmother used to drink coffee by first looking at the cup, then puckering her lips like she had the cup to her mouth, then picking the cup up and bringing it up to her already puckered lips. My uncle did the same thing. But I do t remember anyone thinking they had some sort of problem..
What would we find that you do a little strange if we followed you around with cameras 24/7?

I'd say stress.
A pandemic, an unprecedented economic crash and riots in the streets are sorta stressful.
Besides the Civil War and WW2, I don't see anything to equal it.

Well if he’s sick we will see more evidence of it soon enough. These kind of stories are filler and forgotten soon enough. Whaddabout what he actually said. Lol.

I occasionally get a pain/weakness in my left shoulder. I notice it most when sitting in my easy chair lifting the whisky glass. It is probably some kind of swelling in the rotator cuff. I assume it is some tendonitis, it comes and goes. I could imagine it causing a reaction like with the water glass. The funny thing is I have never noticed any pain/weakness while playing golf.

Especially since we'll soon be fighting the civil war all over again.

Good point, and it's worth taking off the "neurologic problem" blinders to look at function.
About 10 years ago, I was awakened by a sudden pain in my right shoulder. Yes, the pain woke me up. The next day, I couldn't extend my right arm at the shoulder (like one would do playing the piano) and I had to sit, right hip in, to play. I did a "locker-room" consult with one of my orthopedic friends and he thought I tore my rotator cuff. He said to just watch and see what happens, for rotator cuff tears, even spontaneous, are not unheard-of in our age group.
Yeah, it got better.
Yes, there are many reasons one can have weakness in the arm, and it's worth looking at all possibilities before pulling the "diagnosis trigger," especially when you can't examine in person
like all the asshats who diagnosed Trump's mental status not too long ago. -
After consulting with doctor Google, that's about what I figured with my left rotator cuff.
My prescription is rest it, when possible, and hope it gets better eventually. Every now and then, if I move it just right, I get a jolt. But after a couple weeks it seems to be improving.
One of the many joys of reaching Medicare age is becoming familiar with this sort of thing.

~.Coincidentally, a lot of Donald Trump's friends and family are reportedly frequently woken by an incredible pain in the ass.

Have any of you torn a muscle, like in the bicep?
Curious if that means surgery, or if it just takes a long time to repair itself.
I think I tore it over a year ago, pushing a bed across the carpet. I'm surprised it still hurts all the time, but not all that bad.As for Trump, jeez, you get that age, the body turns on you, you're lucky if you can keep all your marbles for many more years (sorry, Joe).
