Trump Is Dragging His Right Leg Again and People Want Answers, ‘This F*cker Ain’t Making it to November!’

There is renewed speculation over whether Donald Trump is having problems with his right leg because another video that allegedly shows him “dragging” it has gone viral. Almost as soon as Trump decided to run for president again, critics have been speculating on just how healthy he is or isn’t. People online have really been focusing on his right leg, even though there has never been any news that there is something wrong with the leg.

MeidasTouch editor-in-chief Ron Filipkowski has been paying close attention to this and he’s posted another clip to X, where Trump can be seen dancing on stage by moving his clenched fists back and forth, according to Newsweek. It might well be the dumbest dance I’ve ever seen. He looks like a moron but nevertheless, his idiot fans cheer him on. But once he’s done dancing, he makes his way off stage, grabbing the handrails with both hands as he walks down the steps.

“Something is definitely going on with his right leg. He’s been dragging it for months. This weekend…” Filipowski captioned the video. So far, the post has been viewed 1 million times.

Filipkowski’s clip spurred plenty of commentary, with folks taking time to share their thoughts.

“He gripped that stair rail for life didn’t he?” noted one person.

“Imagine the right wing’s reaction if [President] Joe Biden were dragging his leg around like that. It would be lead story on Fox News every night and every pundit would be talking about it. Since it’s Trump, of course, they all ignore it,” said another.

“Also, now needing to hold onto not just one handrail, but both. Was his walker waiting at the bottom of the stairs?” someone else asked.

Also, I’m apparently, not the only one tired of seeing him do his stupid dance.

“Whatever it is, I hope it deteriorates rapidly to the point where he can NO LONGER DO THAT ANNOYING F****** DANCE!”

Others didn’t seem to think Trump’s possibly wonky leg was such a big deal. There were a few posts along the lines of “he’s an old fart, get over it.” That’s according to me, anyway.

But whenever Filipkowski, one of the former president’s foremost critics, posts a clip featuring Trump and his dancing leg, folks have a lot to say. Just like in February, when he uploaded a video to X of people clapping when Trump walked into a room.

“Still dragging that right leg,” Filipkowski posted. So far, the post has received 958,000 views.

I’ve probably viewed these clips a dozen or so times, and I can’t really see him dragging his leg. What I do see is him swinging that leg rather widely and walking very stiffly. Trump is, after all, 77 and he’s previously mentioned his health played a key part in his decision to run for president. Again. Ugh.

“You always have to talk about health,” Trump told The Washington Post. “You look like you’re in good health, but tomorrow, you get a letter from a doctor saying come see me again. That’s not good when they use the word again.”

The former president shared a report last November that he said was from his physician. That report stated his cognitive health was “exceptional.” Then it stated Trump “reduced his weight through an improved diet and continued daily physical activity.”

Could have fooled me.

I’m looking forward to more clips from Filipkowski. The more Trump criticism, the better. Let’s criticize him so much that he isn’t able to move. Okay, I know that’s not going to happen but it’s a worthwhile thought. Maybe we can at least get him to stop doing that stupid dance, anyway.
