Mad King Donald hates stairs. And as much as he loves the camera when the red light is on, he hates having to be photographed coming down the stairs. Athough coming down might be easier than going up. Who knows? What you will see is Trump stiff-legged and deliberate, as he puts one foot in front of the other with great concentration. He’s definitely got something going on other than the swollen ankles and venous insufficiency. I speak from experience because I have a “trick knee” translating as an old horseback riding injury which tore a bit of cartilege back in the day and now chooses to buckle under me from time to time. Trump’s movements remind me of that.
Ever since Trump’s recent strokes he has to be really careful taking the stairs. It takes every ounce of concentration he can muster to navigate them.

He’s also arriving alone it would appear. Wheeeeere’s Melania? Who knows but I’m going to bet it’s New York or someplace where she can have a good time. These people are embarrassing. Most couples in their circumstances would at least decide that they were going to put on a good front, for the sake of the bigger picture, the administration, the Republican party, what would look good for the country. They don’t even bother.
Queen Elizabeth opined that the Trumps “had an arrangement” when she met with them during his first term and Melania was dressed like she fell off the stage of a roadshow of Beauty & The Beast with that killer bee colored costume and purple shoes. The woman’s idea of “fashion” is whatever is gaudy and eye catching. She has no chic whatsoever.
Look at this tape again and see Trump pause around the :20 mark. It’s a slight pause but it’s made necessary by the fact that the railing changes slightly. I believe that the stairs are a two-part component and that the railing might be an inch or two higher in the lower half of the unit.
Point being, if Trump is that unsteady to where he has to literally stop for a brief moment and regrab the railing, he doesn’t have the surest grip on the entire situation.
And have you noticed that Trump hasn’t been talking about the ballroom lately? And here’s an interesting clip. What Donald says and what he does are two different things, fancy that?

Fleecing the American public is taxing work. The old con needs his naps.

As Joseph Goebbels opined, “Accuse the other side of doing that which you yourself are doing.” Trump is sleeping and goofing off all the time. Biden was actually doing the job, which is probably what wore the man out before he finished his first term. Trump will soon be older than Biden was but naturally, because it’s Trump, there’s a different rule book.
You can see in the video that he gives himself a little encouragement by tapping himself in the thigh just before attempting the descent. It’s like, “OK, here we go!” His motor disabilities could be from mini-strokes, but my money is on peripheral nerve damage, which is also showing up periodically in his face as a Bell’s palsy face droop. This is typically caused by inflammation of a cranial nerve.
If he has end-stage syphilis, in addition to the cardiovascular and neurological symptoms now in evidence, we can expect to see signs of widespread organ failure, particularly jaundice and wasting. That could turn him into a wrinkled incoherent shell, confined to a wheelchair, and a specter not even Karoline can explain away.
Whatever the diagnosis, he’s declining rapidly and may not make it to the midterms.
