President Trump is defending his slow, careful descent from a stage ramp following his commencement address at West Point earlier Saturday.Cameras had filmed Trump gingerly walking down the lengthy ramp after his speech, sparking wild speculation online from detractors that he has health issues.
A #Trumpisnotwell tag trended online.“The ramp that I descended after my West Point Commencement speech was very long & steep, had no handrail and, most importantly, was very slippery,” Trump tweeted late Saturday.“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!”

So Trump has to defend himself for being careful... Remember when they stuffed Hillary inside that van like some kind of Polish sausage... That was awesome!

It's sad that they have no compunction about revealing that they hope something is wrong with him, while at the same time they ignore that something is very very very wrong with Biden. These people have no sham. We have to stand firmly against them and not give up resisting them, or we'll become just like them. Who wants that?
Poster #2, thanks for the reminder. I don't think many of US will ever get that picture out of our minds. It was an enjoyable occurrence.

Or her slip 'n slide on the steps, think it was Italy, don't remember. It's awful that I've descended to the point where something like that entertains me, but there it is. I'm about numb to most anything anymore.

I saw Trump on that Ramp and the first thing that entered my mind was the Press would try to make something of his careful walk down it. Most people of his age would do the same thing! I didn't see anything that looked like he was struggling with it, he was just cautious! Leave it to the Press to think otherwise!

He certainly walked fine on that lengthy walk across to the church last week. Quite a determined stride in fact.

In the spirit of the new discourse, things like this remind me of my private vision of every major media center burning to the ground. Those pillars of black smoke seem like the only end possible, other than a Ministry of Truth as described by Orwell. We have had exactly that for decades. All of this makes old age and the approaching door much more tolerable than it would have been 40 years ago.

They must have thought his speech was really good so they had to look for something else to criticize. Hillary often fell probably due to her drinking problem. She had "pneumonia" in New York and was thrown into a van because she couldn't walk. She got over "pneumonia" in two hours and went back out just fine. I have yet to hear how she did that. No one questioned that miraculous recovery of a deadly serious lung condition. She fell down the steps in India and often broke bones in other falls. She needs to be more careful because at her age, a broken bone can lead to serious medical problems. The MSM is so obvious!

If he was having problems there would have been stairs, not a ramp...these liberal tittie sucking wankers need to get over it...

Libs want to make this election about health? It’s over now because Biden’s brain is on a steep slippery ramp.

Why wasn't there a railing or some kind of non-slip surface on this ramp. Was this thing constructed so rapidly that slipping and possibly falling wasn't considered to be an issue? I've been to West Point several times over the years, and it's rained every time. Seems that location on the Hudson for some reason has the weather of a rain forest. The day traveling there is always sunny, but the minute one gets within 10 miles of the academy, the air becomes damp and misty.

An issue with walking down a slippery ramp? And Joe Biden won't even go for a walk to get some sunshine.

Looked fine to me. No media - none - can be trusted. The video shows that President Trump might need better shoes for outdoor events (shoes with rubber soles and some grip, not $2.5K indoor shoes).

I'd be fine in rubber soled hiking shoes, but a bit careful with Johnston & Murphys with slick leather soles, too.

Trump needs to STOP defending foolish accusations. The Left eggs him on just so he will respond; then they attack the responses.

Who was the genius that agreed to have the CIC have to descend a treacherous, elevated, railless ramp in the first place?

I was rather disappointed to see all of the cadets marching into the ceremony wearing face diapers, but they took them off as soon as they sat down. Best thing - after throwing their caps into the air, they all hugged each other. So much for social distancing. Take that, Fauci.
