I too often have to hold a glass with two hands (because I have..,)

"Vascular parkinsonism is usually caused by clotting in the brain from multiple small strokes. People with vascular parkinsonism tend to have more problems with gait than tremor and have more problems in the lower body. The disorder progresses very slowly in comparison to other types of parkinsonism. People might report an abrupt onset of symptoms or step-wise deterioration (symptoms get worse then plateau for a while). Symptoms in vascular parkinsonism may or may not respond to levodopa."

I also have to be careful walking down stairs, but then again I weight more that TRUMP LOL
I admit I have a Health problem and currently seeking treatment (that's the first step)

1. What struck me in the video is that Trump's problems seem to be on his right side.

Walking down the ramp the left foot goes forward and the right foot only comes up to meet it, over and over, until he gets to the bottom. He naturally grabs the glass of water with his right hand, but he needs additional support from the left.

2. My stroke effected my left side

So I have trouble with the left foot/leg and left arm and hand.

So maybe following that logic maybe he had a stroke on his right side?

What I learned in my old age is to own my disability and acknowledge that it was foolish and cruel to mock others like I did in my youth.

Imagine if his Wife or Chief of Staff pointed out to him that his mocking a Handicap person is just as, if not more so, as hurtful as he is feeling now (since he felt the need to respond to those tweets).

3. Yep. If the only thing wrong with him was a physical impairment,

that doesn’t necessarily make him unfit to be President. But his constant self-aggrandizement, cruelty, and denial of reality are evidence of a mind that is unfit to lead anything.

4. Underlying all that mocking is the

Knowledge that we are in the hands of not only a Malignant Nacissist who is deliberately destroying this country, but one who most likely has mental impairments which in and of themselves are a detriment to our country, its institutions and the 60+ % of people who don’t support him. He has dragged people’s reputations through the mud, assaulted and probably raped many women, thrown children into cages, refused to help Puerto Rico recover and many other sadistic things. Mocking him is too kind.

5. Big Difference Between You & PINO

You didn't brag about your incredible health at a press conference and have Mac A Ninny horn blast the "great results".
He did both.
You're admitting to a health problem that causes it.
He says he's in perfect health.
The mocking is more about the lie than the water glass in 2 hands.

6. I don't see mocking trump as ableist...

Because isn't the issue that twitler doesn't have any avowed limitations? And he has constantly mocked those who do (esp. the NY Times reporter).

He keeps saying he's completely and physically 100%. He won't admit to any weaknesses or illnesses. And by not acknowledging his own issues, he continues to belittle and ignore the realities of his own as well as the millions of Americans with theirs.

So, if he truly is 100%, as he claims, then mocking him should be fair game.


Altho, it really shouldn't be a focus of ours. There's much more to really go after him for (violations of the constitution, of US laws, of common human decency!)
