Internet Is Speculating About Trump’s Bizarre Body Movements and Posture That Was Caught on Camera
I am not usually one to jump on the “he is demented” or “had a stroke” conclusions based on the latest videos. I am not all that observant, to begin with. Though I have noted that he’s been short of breath to start each press briefing that I have seen in the last week.
That being said, something is extremely odd in Trump’s physical appearance, mobility and stance in last night’s press conference, as caught by the video below:
What is going on with Trump???
This was today!

WTF? Yes, I do notice. I notice that this is the type of movement we expect out of a character at a Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney World, the robotic, limited movement thing. I have no idea what might cause it, though elevator shoes, back braces (to keep the gut in) and a stance over his gut to keep it from protruding are some theories I have.

But it is on the net where the real speculation gets going, and some of them are pretty interesting observations.
I always wonder why Trump turns his whole body, instead of just his head.

I don’t understand that, either, but it is so noticeable that it has started to bother me. Perhaps he just has stiff neck pain, but then he golfs regularly, so it doesn’t make sense.
I had this thought, too. I am NOT saying he has any condition, but his actions look like someone who has Parkinson’s:
My Mom has Parkinson’s & it reminds me of her. She did the same thing until she was eventually immobile.

It is so obvious now that only a silhouette is needed:

If you want to see a comparison between Trump and a normal person, this gives you a good idea of what one would expect from a normal person standing in the same position for the same length of time:
And for anyone who thinks this is simply because the video is sped up, I did a second video which includes Dr. Birx. Compare her lack of movement to Trump. pic.twitter.com/EIw64g2jSj

Maybe this is all it is:
He needs to rock to maintain balance. His gross motor skills are deteriorating. He watches every member of the task force like a hawk in case they say something that contradicts him. He’s on the verge of physically threatening a reporter.

Don’t know. Any guesses? The net is full of them.
