Donald Trump understandably became alarmed that #TrumpIsNotWell is the number one trending hashtag on his favorite social media platform right now. So he gave his side of the story.
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!

…might be one of the steepest ramps in the history of our country. Many people are saying that not even Evel Knievel would have attempted it as quickly as I did. Sleep Joe Biden would have skidded down the ramp. My strong heels managed it like a champ. I had Bone spurs ya know.

…you know, it was long and steep, the ramp, and had no handrail, and the floor was half gone. You could see through the ground a bottomless pit. Went on forever. And there were vipers and weasels gnawing at my pants legs. And tarantulas.

…DEATH RAMP!

I’m sure the Secret Service, excuse me, the SS, would let him walk on a dangerous and slippery surface. Righto.
No, he’s not well.
And this is not an original comment, but it is a true one: This is the guy with the nuclear codes.
You’re assuming he knows what they are. For all we know, he might think it’s the phone numbers to every KFC in the DC area.
You can copy the above to the internet address field in a new tab to see the goofy walk.
The goofy walk as you put it, is unnerving. It’s like his knees don’t work. So now his arms and his legs don’t work? And we know his brain doesn’t. This is an incredible sight. FDR was in a wheelchair but he was on top of it from the neck up, thank God.
FDR hid the wheelchair use from the public – but he could stand with canes.

Thanks Blueman. Clearly, Trump’s not Jackie Gleason (if you’re ‘mature’ enough to remember The Great One).
Gleason was incredibly graceful for an overweight man. I remember his pratfalls well. He would do one and then get up and do another. I guess that comes from being a hoofer in your youth, you don’t totally lose the grace.
The Belushi brothers, John and James, had that same kind of athletic grace. My brain never ceases to tie itself in knots seeing either of those heavy guys do light gymnastics.
Death Ramp. That’s gonna become a new addition to our personal lexicon at Chez Max. “Careful on the steps, honey.” “You mean the Death Ramp?”
I tweeted at Jeremy Newberger that he deserves an Oscar for that thread. Sweet Jesus, what a laughing stock this is.
The ramp of death.☠trump survived it. T-shirt slogan alert.
That ramp wasn’t as steep as stairs, and I’d bet it’s got a non-skid surface on it. Himself hobbled down it like a 90-year-old man with poor coordination.
We have two different, portable ramps at our house because husband had a very difficult hip replacement and uses a walker; plus had a nasty bout of rhabdomyolysis, which caused muscle weakness that is only slowly resolving. He navigates both of them on his walker, no handrails, and no tumbles so far. Betting that ramp at West Point was far more expensive than ours were from Amazon.
No spinning your way out of this one, old man (apologies to all others in that age bracket but we both know how he hates being considered such). You’re weak and you look it.
A POTUS who should be in jail
For wrecking the country to hell
Came out of his bunker,
But walked like a drunkard
It is clear Donald Trump is not well.
Nice
Nice bit of verse, Wolf! Here’s one from Robert E Howard that I think fits for where this is going: “And so down the road that leads to Hell,/We strode a merry band,/Sargon, Balthazar, Jezebel,/Cain with his bloody hand.”
I found it in the comments from an article in Raw Story.
Google says it was quoted in Politico last year, credited to Robert E Howard.
Robert Frost, move over. Here is the poet of the age.
1) he had to hold onto the rail while walking on the flat part. 2) His right leg doesn’t seem to bend as much as the left. Watch him walking into rallies – you’ll notice a right leg issue. This guy is having brain issues. Duh
I think he’s having right arm issue, too. Didn’t he pick up the glass in question yesterday with his right hand and steady it with his left? If he’s got an issue on his right side, he may very well have had a stroke. The American people need to know that.
Hilarious.
I know this is probably going to sound pretty awful, but then it is what I think. I do not wish ill health, and certainly not death on anyone; not anyone. But as I have nothing to do with this, as is the case for the 300+ million of us who have been and continue to be harmed by this guy’s policies, ill health followed to its natural conclusion would be a blessing for us. Pence ain’t great, but at least he wouldn’t stay up all night tweeting horrific BS and doing harm to people with policies like the latest one with the ACA and the repeal of LGBTQ protections in it. At least I hope he would not do the latter.
No apologies necessary…my mother has never ceased wishing either calamity on Trump. Although as to what Pence would do, yeah, he absolutely would do those last two things. He’d just be quieter about it.
He should sue whoever built that ramp.
Hi Jim, Haven’t seen you in a while.
SORRY TRUMP: Happy Last Birthday at least as President. ES, I can diagnose him. I am a Physician.. TRUMP has #PicksDisease SEE WEB MD https://tinyurl.com/yd383h8c Pick’s disease is a kind of dementia similar to Alzheimer’s but far less common. It affects parts of the brain that control emotions, behavior, personality, and language. It’s also a type of disorder known as frontotemporal dementia (FTD) or frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD).
Your brain uses a transport system to help move around the nutrients it needs. This system is made of proteins that like railroad tracks guiding trains guide nutrients where they need to go. The proteins that keep the tracks straight are called tau proteins.
When you have Pick’s disease, the tau proteins don’t work the way they should. You may also have more of them in your brain than other people.
These abnormal clumps of tau proteins are called Pick bodies. Pick bodies “derail” your transport system. The track is no longer straight, and nutrients in the brain can’t get where they need to go. This causes brain damage that can’t be reversed.
SOUND LIKE HIM: Pick bodies typically form in the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. These sections control your behavior, personality, and speech. Symptoms usually show up in those areas.
Occasionally, people with Pick’s disease might also have:
* Memory loss
* Problems moving
* Stiff or weak muscles
* Trouble peeing
* Trouble with coordination
You may:
* Act aggressively toward others
* Be uninterested in everyday activities
* Be very aware of everything you do all the time
* Feel irritable or agitated
* Have drastic and quick mood swings
* Have trouble feeling warmth, sympathy, or concern for others
* Have trouble with unplanned activities
* Make rash decisions
* Repeat actions over and over
* Say and do inappropriate things
THE SEVERE AGGRESSION was Manifest on #Inauguration Day #Melania knows all the symptoms.
NOTE: Particularly, There’s no cure for Pick’s disease, and medications can’t slow it down. It can progress slowly, but usually it steadily gets worse over time. Some people live as long as 10 years with the disease.
Your doctor can recommend treatment to help you deal with many of your symptoms. He may suggest behavioral therapy to help control any dangerous behavior and antidepressants to help with agitation or aggression.
