Mr. President, thank you for now ensuring that tens of millions more Americans will see the videos of you unsteadily walking on the ramp and lifting a glass of water with two hands, and will wonder what they don’t know about your physical and mental condition.
While it is common for politicians to boast about their accomplishments, “successfully walked down ramp” is not usually the kind of achievement a president of the United States would emphasize in his messaging. But Donald Trump’s campaign is predicated on depicting his opponent, Joe Biden, as a helpless invalid, and himself as a virile and improbably healthy male who sleeps with models, or at least in the same building as them, in return for compensation commensurate with the task.
But yesterday, Trump was recorded walking gingerly down a very shallow ramp, staring intently at his feet the entire way, after his address at West Point: ...
Thus it became necessary for the president to insist that the harrowing 15-second journey was in fact more evidence of his athletic prowess: ...
Trump, quite typically, made a series of claims that are blatantly preposterous. The ramp was not steep. Nor was it long. The notion that it was “very slippery” seems hard to believe, given that the weather was dry and the general walking next to him had absolutely no difficulty. It is true there was no handrail, but this merely attests to the fact that the ramp was gentle and dry and did not require one.
It's understandable that ramps would be hard for Trump. What's not understandable is that he'd be so insecure as to have to explain that and lie by saying he ran down the last 10 feet. This insecurity is one of the things that makes him so dangerous. He's not up to the job.
The health and fitness of any Presidential candidate for the rigors of the office is a legitimate issue. Video of Trump shows he is unwell. Why did he have difficulty sipping water? why is he slurring words? why is he incoherent in speech? Why can he barely walk?
