We have covered this type of thing before, though none as obvious as today’s, and none that got the response on the net like today’s spasm. Trump seems to have a spastic right arm that he has trouble controlling He is often seen holding his right arm down.

There have been rumors – only that – that Trump suffers from some sort of neurological condition, whether it could be frontotemporal dementia or post-stroke, all have been the subject of speculation. Today, during his West Point address, Trump demonstrated with stark clarity that something is very wrong.

As per usual, Trump slurred some words, (he cannot pronounce “Ulysses S. Grant”) and one could hear him breathe heavily while using that sickening sing-song voice which comes out every time he has to read something.

But it was when Trump went to take a drink of water that brought out the real concerns. Watch Trump grab his right hand with his left, to keep the glass from falling, and watch the panicked look in his eyes as he does it. Follow us below for the net’s reaction.

Something wrong with that right arm. https://t.co/k1aF7jDmgi

What happened there? That is not how normal people take a drink of water. He clearly was about to spill that glass due to a shaking right hand, it looked like he was about to drop it. He cupped the glass with his left hand to both keep it from falling and to get it up to his lips – which he had to lower his head to do!

That is not normal! Even if someone was very nervous in giving a speech, that would not be normal, and he doesn’t appear “nervous” during speeches.

The net had a strong reaction:

Yes! Something is neurologically wrong with him. His gait is off too.

He had a problem with it on Memorial Day. Involuntary twitching.

We reported on this very fact, it was particularly noticeable that day when Trump had to forcibly keep his right arm down.

His face looks like death with burnt umber spray paint, too. He looks like hell up there. Can't blame people for growing old and losing their health, but damn.

In covering him for over a year, it was the most ominous and obvious sign that something is very wrong. Drinking from a cup of water doesn’t take two hands, nor a bent head.
