Maybe 4 inches. I guess it's hard to walk in high heels.

knee replacement surgery because of all that weight he carries around or maybe hip replacement. Maybe his bone spurs have resurfaced.

Isn't he going after medical research that keeps his ass alive?

There was one period in particular, I think in the period right before the GOP Convention in 2020, when he was almost never seen in public without Melania, and he would hold her hand almost like he was steadying himself. There was a clip from that period of him walking that went viral. It's been a while so I cannot recall more details. There was a lot of speculation but some physicians commented on it, and that was taken more seriously.

Waddling.

He looked terrible on TV yesterday. Red-faced, puffy eyes with bags. Lots of conditions and medications can cause similar.

Waddling? Didn't see it. Water retention?

Remember when he was stuffed into tux the first term.

That affects the gait. He eventually won’t be able to walk at all.

On inauguration Day he was definitely high. He kept going like the Energizer bunny.

One neurologist suggested this as far back as May 2020 after analyzing his balance issue, posture, and involuntary right arm movement while attending ceremony at Arlington Cemetery.

I believe Alternet reported on it in 2020. His decline has not really been reported upon by mainstream media

It seems like a strong possibility. He was having balance and gait issues walking across tarmac in Los Angeles.

It is a neurodegenerative disease with symptoms such as occasional involuntary arm movements on one side. Patients often try to control this when it occurs by grabbing the affected arm with opposite hand. Trump’s right arm is affected.

Trump does have many of the symptoms. His lifts may be.an attempt to keep from falling backward which is a common symptom. Bowel control also is a problem.

An interesting symptom is eye movement or lack thereof. Looking up and down becomes a problem and patients develop a stare. He seems to have the staring gaze and blinking deficit. Voice can change,becoming softer.

There are also behavioral symptoms such as impulsivity and poor decision making and emotional dysregulation.

It is a caused by tau buildup in brain. No cure but Trump of course will have been receiving whatever new potential treatments are available.

I think his symptoms have worsened recently and Melania’s appearance at the Carter ceremony made me think she had had recently gotten bad news.

If he has this diagnosis he has likely had the condition for many years and the symptoms are increasing in number and intensity.. he could b reaching the end of the road.

There will undoubtedly be a imajor battle among the Trump cabinet loyalists and the Vance Male Supremacists Project 2025ers. over invoking the amendment regarding succession.
