1. He does not have toilet paper on is shoe this time

[blugbox]

2. He's not stepping forward with his right leg

He's only bringing it up to his body line then stepping with his left foot. His left foot seems to be able to kick out in front of him better.

It's like he's sorta dragging his right foot along for the ride.

[GoCubsGo]

7. Yep. I couldn't quite pin it down until you mentioned it.

But, that's what it looks like to me. That, and it looks like he is expecting a flood. Who is his tailor?

[blm]

13. He wears lifts.

Probably put on pants fitted to wear without lifts.

[leftieNanner]

27. When your thighs get bigger

(not from exercise) then your pants get shorter.

[Lochloosa]

3. He wouldn't pass a field sobriety test. Follow the line.

[CurtEastPoint]

4. Yeah, I noticed the dragging and also his pants are too short.

[tblue37]

5. He lists to the left. nt

[blugbox]

8. Yes this also.

There is a wonderful seam in the concrete acting as a straight line coming out right under the Marine on trumps left heading out towards camera. They clearly start far from that line, and end up drifting all the way over it. You can tell trump is the one unconsciously veering that direction.

[LuvLoogie]

10. Maybe he's walking to the motorcade off camera.

[Ms. Toad]

15. Agreed. Just because there is a line

Doesn't mean the line is going where he was headed. I'm pretty sure we could find examples of Obama not walking the line as he exited AF1.

[blugbox]

20. Absolutely. He very well could be.

I'm not changing my argument about his right leg though!

[Ms. Toad]

24. We're not seeing the same thing on that, either.

I watched it several times after you made the initial comment.

He does have an awkward gait - but I saw one step (at most) in which he didn't move his right leg forward. What I am seeing is that he consistently places his heel first with his left leg, but with his right leg about 50% of the time he places his right foot flat (heel & toe at approximately the same time - so the last part of the step is more like a shuffel), with the other 50% like his left foot.

28. It's the bone spurs

[Ms. Toad]

34. Must be. That certainly isn't a standard military march. n/t

[Buckeyeblue]

6. Right hip or knee issue.

Which is not uncommon for someone his age. I've noticed since 2015 how bad of a walker he is. But he's never really exercised.

[phylny]

9. Is it foot drop or drop foot?

Not sure exactly what it's called.

[TheBlackAdder]

42. That's what I was thinking, a neuropathy issue causing drop foot.

[greatauntoftriplets]

11. He's also waddling.

[blm]

12. That's what it looks like to me.

[TheBlackAdder]

43. That's just fecal buildup, because he has body function fears. There's no bidet on Air Force One.

[demtenjeep]

45. he clomps

no one has told him how to walk like a person


he just clomps clomps and doesn't care if he stays in a line. Everyone else has to move around him

[Johnny2X2X]

14. How long was his White Supremacy rally last night?

He looks rough, his White Power rally last night was not covered as much as usual, maybe because only a couple thousand White Supremacists showed up, but how long did the lunatic ramble on for?

[DFW]

16. He needs:

Possibilities:

1. A hip replacement
2. Knee replacement(s)
3. Arthritis medication

4. Any combination of 1., 2. and 3.

And he could stand to lose 50 pounds.

Well, he also needs to leave office ASAP, but that, at least, is not related to his gait.

[Kid Berwyn]

17. Barron walks like that, too.

Chipped off the old blockhead, poor kid.

[Hekate]

35. Have not seen Barron walking, but it could be unconscious imitation on his part

[Kid Berwyn]

36. Side-to-side gait seems to echo Demented Dad

[GemDigger]

18. For a tall man he has a very short stride.

I am only 5' tall and I have a longer stride than that.

[NCLefty]

39. It's related to Trump's short fingers.

[GemDigger]

41. Ouch!

[Habibi]

19. Doesn't seem comfortable at all. Pulls his coat closed but

then doesn't button it; puts his hand in his pocket and takes it out again. Like he doesn't know what to do with his hands.

[Ex Lurker]

21. I watched him walk across a tarmac and negotiate two sets of stairs

Without difficulty. From what people have been posting here lately, I expected him to look frail. I don't see it. There may be something going on in his mind but it isn't affecting him physically in a significant way. No more than might be expected of someone his age. All this stuff about health issues looks like wishful thinking to me.

[NCLefty]

40. Except: "God Blesh the United Statesh of America", but that was prob just denture slip.

[RobinA]

22. That He Seems

to be able to walk and talk at the same time, which I find somewhat surprising.

[itcfish]

23. He is just Obese

and his fat thighs are rubbing together and have given him a terrible rash.

[BigDemVoter]

26. Gruesome!

But I so hope it's true!

[BigDemVoter]

25. He's wearing "high water" pants. . . .

I guess in some parts of the country, some might call them "clam diggers" also. . .

In any case, he is one repelling, fetid, juicy and giant shit stain on our country that will NEVER come out.

[Bayard]

29. He's off on his right leg/foot

Old bone spurs kicking up, maybe?

[11 Bravo]

30. He appears to have filled his diaper.

[pwb]

31. I was thinking that too. When he farts in the oval office

do you think he makes everybody stay in his stink? Yuck!! Sure he does.

[Green Line]

32. Knock knees

[smirkymonkey]

33. Other than being very badly dressed, his gait is off.

He seems to be wobbling a bit and veering off to his left into his companion.

If the man is a billionaire, why on earth can't he get a decent tailor? He is such a slob.

[Captain Zero]

37. Drag on his right foot.

He is not getting full lift on it. Reminds me of someone I know who had a stroke.

[bdamomma]

44. We still don't why he

whisked to Walter Reed on that Saturday, he's suffering from a lot of issues.

[scarytomcat]

38. bone spurs

[KentuckyWoman]

46. I still think his "routine - pre-physical tests" were possible stroke.

And I don't think it's his first one if so either.

[enid602]

47. stain

Shitstain’s on the wrong side.

[Claritie Pixie]

48. He has a circumduction gait.

A walking pattern where the leg remains straight and swings to the side in a semicircle to move forward. He's doing that with his right leg. Due to a neurological issue.
