trump offers explanation about his trouble walking down a ramp at West Point: 'That was a booby trap

[634-5789]

During a speech at a rally in Greenville, North Carolina, Donald Trump harkened back to viral video that showed him apparently having trouble walking down a ramp after giving a speech at a West Point graduation ceremony.

“Did you ever notice when [Biden] had a hard time going up the stairs on the plane, nobody talks about that,” Trump said, referring to footage of Biden stumbling while climbing the stairs to board Air Force One. “The news didn’t cover it, not one network covered it. Now, when I made the best speech I’ve ever made, they said it was at West Point, and it was pouring and I had a ramp that was an ice skating rink.”

The video, which went viral in June of last year, shows Trump appearing to have trouble stabling himself while walking down the ramp. The video sparked a wave of conspiracy theories about his health.

“So I walked gingerly down — that was on every newscast in the world and I never went down. I never went down, either, I never went on my ass,” Trump said. “I wasn’t gonna fall. I think that was a booby trap.”

19. He's a godamn narcissist

He can't admit he is feeble.
A sadistic malignant narcissist.

Should be kept far,far away from any sort of power.

Weak minded authoritarians can't fucking live without someone narcissistic telling them how to think and what to do.

Between trump and republicans/magats it's a co dependant toxic relationship.

It's the toxic
co dependancy

4. And the person he was walking down the ramp with had zero problems

Shut up Donnie, you are a disgrace

[Midnight Writer]

5. Hey, Donald, everyone would have forgotten about the ramp if you didn't keep bringing it up.

[PortTack]

6. It was June...a bright sunny day, but it was pouring and it was an ice skating rink??

The guy never knows when to shut up!

[tinrobot]

7. Thanks for bringing it up again, doofus. Most people had forgotten about it.

He really is clueless, isn't he?

[Walleye]

8. Gravity is a left-wing conspiracy, of course.

[Blue Owl]

9. Sayeth the hulking boob

[struggle4progress]

10. "I know more about ramps than anybody. Nobody know more about ramps

than me. People are saying. Many many people. Big strong men with tears in their eyes come up to me and say Thank you sir for tellinging us about the booby-trapped icy ramps at West Point in mid-June. Because they didn't know! Incredible!"

[marble falls]

11. If it were a booby trap, it certainly worked.

[Initech]

12. No it wasn't.

[Grokenstein]

13. Coming up next...

"Biden's people sprayed urine onto my crotch to make me look bad! Enemy of the people!"

[Retrograde]

14. Lots of older people have problems with ramps

I'm not quite as old as he is, but I have severe arthritis in one knee and downward slopes can be a problem. So I avail myself of railings and occasionally use a cane if I need to.

If he'd just stop pretending that he's the Best Evah! in everything he does and accept that age does bring problems I think most people wouldn't even notice, much less comment on his weaknesses.

[ProfessorGAC]

15. So, The Military Set A Booby Trap For Him?

He expected to overthrow the government, but the military tried to hurt him?
I don't think he knows how coups work.
If the military already hates you, there's no coup.
Such an idiot!!

[gratuitous]

16. Obsess much, Needy Amin?

Like a dino rock band that only has one or two original members left, Needy Amin keeps playing the old familiar tunes, tossing in a long-forgotten B side from time to time. I care only to the extent that reciting this episode so incorrectly just shows how his mental state has deteriorated.

17. Here you go

[keithbvadu2]

18. sheet of ice. Much earlier, he claimed that he ran down the last 10 feet of the ramp.

sheet of ice.

Much earlier, he claimed that he ran down the last 10 feet of the ramp.

Donald just makes up his lies as he needs them, even if it contradicts his earlier lies.
