Remember when right-wingnut media was desperately screaming that Hillary was "ill"? Looks like Donny really is suffering from some sort of neurological problem. Good excuse to resign, Donny!

I watched that water sip and I'm familiar with limited strength and range of motion from injury. The most strenuous activity he does is probably reaching for another Big Mac, that leaves a neurological problem. The way that left hand came up to assist says it's happened before. This is an older pic.


I'd like to ask what brain but we'll know how bad it is by how hard McEnany dodges the question

Posted for the sake of the poor, humorless Trumpkins, who are too uneducated to read The New Yorker - all those big words!

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In his latest attack on the nation’s sixteenth President, Donald Trump boasted on Saturday that his television ratings were “much higher” than Abraham Lincoln’s.

“If you put my TV ratings side by side with Lincoln’s, there’s no comparison,” Trump told Fox News. “Honest Abe would want me to be honest about it, and, honestly, his ratings were terrible.”

Trump argued that Lincoln’s television ratings were especially poor “when you consider that he didn’t have to compete with Netflix and Amazon, like I have to.”

“Abraham Lincoln had zero competition and he still couldn’t get a decent number,” Trump said. “He might have been O.K. at some other things, but he was a total loser on TV.”
Theorizing about Lincoln’s poor ratings performance, Trump mused that “it might have been the beard.”

“People don’t like to look at people with beards on TV,” he said. “Tom Selleck has a mustache, but that’s different. If I was advising Lincoln, I would say, ‘Abe, lose the beard. It’s making you look like a joker.’ I wish I had been alive back then. I could have given Lincoln all kinds of good advice. It’s sad how bad he was.”

it's obviously not "very steep" as Trump claimed

Since everyone seems to be discussing the ramp to the speaker’s platform at West Point, here’s Vice President Biden ascending it in 2016.

George Conway @gtconway3d

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. #TrumpIsNotWell

The ramp that I descended after my West Point Commencement speech was very long & steep, had no handrail and, most importantly, was very slippery. The last thing I was going to do is “fall” for the Fake News to have fun with. Final ten feet I ran down to level ground. Momentum!

Obama Prepared for a Potential Pandemic. Trump Gutted His Work.

Obama: “There may and likely will come a time in which we have both an airborne disease that is deadly,” Obama said. “And in order for us to deal with that effectively, we have to put in place an infrastructure—not just here at home, but globally—that allows us to see it quickly, isolate it quickly, respond to it quickly,"

Trumo: "“Nobody knew there would be a pandemic or epidemic of this proportion. Nobody has ever seen anything like this before,”

These are merely words. What actions did Obama take to establish the needed infrastructure? The article doesn't appear to mention any.

Obama warned of pandemic threat in 2014, but Republicans blocked funding

Not for lack of trying. Repubes refused to spend money to prepare, so have now been forced to waste $Trillions. Because Repubes are idiots.
