Trump is in India and is seriously not looking well.

Last edited Mon Feb 24, 2020, 04:47 AM - Edit history (2)

His gait is very shaky, and he needed to sit on a bench, trying to look overly-interested in an exhibit. He seems to be trying to steady or balance himself on the bench. They're up and walking again...now he's relying on Malaria to hold his hand as he steps down the step. This could get interesting.

3:45 Update: He's speaking now and appears to have his strength back.

home after midnight, like Cheney used to sneak dead bodies from his Iraq war, so that it doesn’t upset the daytime soap opera TV schedule. I hope they catch his death on videotape so that if it’s a fall down a staircase I can replay it in slow motion for shits and giggles.

There is always concern that toilets are rigged to divert and catch their body fluids which can be tested for disease. I remember reading that W had a toilet to catch his body fluids.

in that weird gait... one I've seen from morbidly obese people. swinging the leg in a sort of semi-circle waddle, leaning on Melania.

No, he does not look good at all.

Too bad that "step" video isn't showing up. I'll bet this won't be the only video of it though.

In the others, you can see how he's barely using his left arm other than to hold on to the bench.

They are playing all his US rally music to the crowd of 100,000 who genuinely like the fellow Nationalist.

They also played "Rocket Man". I thought that was N Korea's song.

Guests are treated with honor, offered the best food available in house.
Indian customs are funny that way. On top of that Indians love ALL American presidents.
Trump is just another American president for them.

in my more pessimistic moments. At those times I feel that God has brought Donnie on us not as a savior but a scourge for our sins (Howbeit one we—might—deliver ourselves from if enough voters in the right places turn out to vote for Team Donkey).

Still, it might be interesting to see the numbers as to how Democratic candidates (even Bernie) would fare against Father Pence.
