Remember the weight listed and all the hyperbole of how perfectly let fit he is? After seeing the other waking down a ramp incident I do think it relevant. And of course we didn’t see enough to confirm, it appeared to me to be a loss of balance as opposed to tripping.

Normally I’m with you on calling out someone tripping (and I to have tripped) but this asshole deserves no limit to my scorn. 🙂

Also, you think the Secret Service is in the habit of leaving random shit on the stairs that Trump is walking up to give an address for him to trip over? I'm sure the steps themselves are very low in height.

C'mon man.

Ford, who may have been physically clumsy, did not exhibit the obvious mental deficiencies of Trump.

Just compare speeches between the two. Ford, while not entirely eloquent, at least made sense throughout.

Doturd cannot pronounce elemental words while attempting to read a teleprompter. Even when he ad-libs, he gets confused and erratic, often changing the subject in mid sentence.

Doturd is a man of OBVIOUS declining mental and physical capacity. His actual intelligence, however, was never very advanced. This is obvious as well.

He went up the stairs holding the rail, then he paused and stood still letting go of the rail, then he almost lost his balance but recovered by flailing his arms.

He didn’t trip, unless you can trip when standing still.

Meniere's? Fortuantely mine was structural (but not the easy rocks in the ears structural. We finally figured out the right combination of exercises to return my range of motion to my neck for more than a few seconds. Can't fix my deafness, and multiple muscle injuries to the same side of my head/neck . . . but at least we fixed enough to get rid of the constant vertigo.

But we are supposed to ignore it while they will use it against Biden if he were to trip up .

from a recording being done by some Trump humper group. The woman doing the commentary (she was barely able to string a sentence together in the first place) was going on and on about how amazing it was that Trump didn't get in the car to drive the 50 yards it was from the plane to the stage. Anyway, when that happened he actually. "It actually is really hard to walk up those stairs with the music playing and waving to everyone."

Why would people on a Democratic Underground website defend one of the vilest crooks to ever

act as president of our country?

I just don't get it. Sure it's petty, but answer question one.
