Trump Sparks New Health Concerns as He Wobbles and Has Difficultly Standing at Memorial Day Event
One of the most terrifying things on which we’ve had to report lately is the number of physical symptoms that Trump continues to display that indicate something may be seriously wrong.
Many people with far more experience and education than me believe they see signs of frontotemporal dementia, and PSP in Trump’s gait and stance when standing up “straight.” none of these people can “know” what may or may not be wrong without being a neurologist who has examined Trump. The problem is that it seems as though Trump has avoided neurologists who might know something is wrong. We, at least, haven’t heard of anything.
We have seen this tweet on many occasions and it is one to keep in mind when viewing the video from this morning:

You will of course note that the physical symptoms match the behavior we see on a day to day basis – today, even. So it is definitely concerning to watch a video such as this and see a man struggling to stand up straight. Again, it’s not proof of any one thing. But we can see some disturbing signs:

He is not “seeing things” all one need do is compare Trump’s weeble wobble to the men standing alongside him. (We should also note that it is totally improper for a civilian to salute during the national anthem. Uniformed military salutes, civilians – and Trump is a civilian – place their hand over their heart.)
There is yet another concerning point in the video and that is the spastic movement we see with Trump’s right arm:
What was the weird arm jerk thing he did?? pic.twitter.com/0UULITHI96

Just look at this, Trump is having trouble balancing himself:

Many people have commented that Trump often physically holds his right arm with his left, to keep it down. It could be nothing, but that did appear to be a spasm.
He never was good at standing… or anything for that matter. pic.twitter.com/1thExAUQKr

We are talking about a man who was rushed to a hospital in October of last year, and who said he would be finishing his physical this year, but never did. He says he’s too busy, though he golfed twice this weekend.

It is not right to normalize questions about whether a candidate on either side is sliding into dementia. But it isn’t right to simply ignore symptoms that are right in front of our faces. We can point it out without reaching any conclusions.
It is equally true that the campaign that specializes in projection has been viciously attacking Biden as a “dementia patient.” This is highly concerning.
