1. It's August in DC

These people can’t plan for s***

2. Something is getting to Trump? STRESS???

Kamala Harris is on to him. As is Karma.

All the shit going on at the same time is affecting his central nervous system and Blood Pressure. One can only hope.

3. I believe the lean is another tell that he's delivering a whopper.

[tinrobot]

4. I just posted something about it. He looks drunk when he does that.

Kind of like a drunk uncle leaning into you so he can tell you about the conspiracies.

5. been doing it for awhile now

I suspect it is a physical issue

[LuckyLib]

6. Yes. He struggles to stand up straight.

7. He's been leaning a lot more as well.

Noticed that in the clip shown from the Naturalization ceremony. Either he has Osteoporosis, or his shoe lifts are not fitting him right.

9. He's just so out of shape, he can't handle standing for any length of time.

He leans on the podium because he's exhausted. I wouldn't be surprised if some side effects of a stroke are also involved, too.

8. Yes, I've noticed it for some time as well

It looks like it is difficult for him to stand there for a long time.

10. Trump's idea of exercise is driving the cart onto the Putting Green.

Getting out, put the ball in the cup. Enough to exhaust a man of his immense stature.

[PatSeg]

12. With his diet, disposition, age, and life style

I'm surprised he isn't in worse shape. I think his hate and meanness fuels him.

13. How has he not died yet?

I wake up every morning hoping to hear that he has, and I don't even feel guilty about it.

The only trouble with him dying is office is he drooling fans would probably venerate him as a martyr.

[Thekaspervote]

17. Or at least has had a stroke and left him without speech

[PatSeg]

18. Oh yes, his adoring followers would canonize him for sure

If Trump were to die or have a stroke and go into a coma, it would be no loss as far as I'm concerned. However, I do want him to stay alive and conscious until election day, so the Democrats can win openly, decisively, and ideally in a landslide. They need a big mandate to fix all the problems created by Trump and the republicans in congress. As bad as things look from the outside, I'm quite sure it is much worse on the inside.

11. Is it so he won't Fall Over?

[maxrandb]

14. Hitler, Mussolini and even Fidel used to do this

[UTUSN]

15. HITLER did the draping thing, plus had sexual gratification winding himself up.

[keithbvadu2]

16. Drug test time?

[leftyladyfrommo]

19. There is something wrong with his right side. nt
