I just want to say that

[KentuckyWoman]

down hills and ramps are even worse on sore knees than down steps. It is hard enough to get up but down is brutal on old sore knees. Grass and gravel aren't much fun either.

The liar just needs to admit he ain't 20 anymore and the reason he had trouble with the ramp is the same reason he can't kneel. Old, wore out knees.

Instead? Lies lies more lies and even more lies.

1. When hiking going down is harder on the knees than when going up

2. I remember an interview with GWB when he quit running

He was not at all shy about saying his knees could not take the pounding anymore so he went to bike riding instead for a good workout. He joked if he lives enough he end up back on a tricycle.

There was almost nothing to respect about GWB but he used the mic to let people know it's OK to get old and make the needed adjustments to keep enjoying life - being active. I respected that and most presidents have shown the same. Heck GHWB even jumped out of a plane at 80 going tandem instead so he could still jump.

18. He attended the White House Correspondents Dinner

where he got raked over the coals by Stephen Colbert.

That took a measure of guts that Trump absolutely doesn't have.

And I will acknowledge that, despite my absolute loathing for him.

3. This is why I gave up mountain "hiking"

going down was killing my knee that I injured decades ago snow skiing.

Climb up, no problem. head back down... not so much

13. Walking sticks help

7. I remember the first time I hiked down the Bright Angel Trail

into the Grand Canyon. I was in my early 20's and in good shape. The front of my thighs were so sore
I couldn't believe it, from walking downhill. Thank goodness we camped for 3 or 4 days on the Bright Angel
Creek on the north side of the Colorado River. Hiking out to the rim seemed easier. I beat all my friends and
was on my third cold beer by the time they got to the Lodge.

14. I think a good number of folks under estimate the strain going down hill puts on the knees, and end

up going too fast down hill

[cwydro]

20. Dayum! I had that exact same experience!

I was 19 or 20 and in very good shape.

We only camped for one night, and that was one long hike out lol! But you're right, it was easier than going down.

4. yep

though I disagree about ramps, easier than stairs for my knees

no handrail is rough, too

[panader0]

8. How's your knee these days?

[Kali]

12. my left one is pretty good - got it replaced last summer

but the other one is a weather predictor LOL

the worst part is the "new" side is about a half inch longer that the one with no cartilage...so that doesn't help the back. getting old is not for the weak.

just had a nice long roll of thunder and the clouds are building...we have about a 30% chance tomorrow. I will take it even though my superstition says it shouldn't before San Juan's day...

5. First thing I thought

when I saw the video. Have had knee replacements and walked just like that right before and right after surgery. All that golf.....but could he just let it go......NO!

6. Knees wear out even sooner if you're overweight.

But His Lardship will not admit to a defect or weakness of any kind because he's in perfect health, the most perfect health of anyone ever.

[2naSalit]

11. And he goes to great lengths

to fake anything that is wrong so he can't see it in a mirror. But then, the only mirrors he seems to use are for his face and hair.

9. I am hitting 60 and I am addressing my stairs in the house much more cautiously than I did two

decades ago.

[MustLoveBeagles]

10. I have mild arthritis in my knees and I'm in my late 40's

His lying about it and drawing attention to it with his whining is stupid.

[LeftInTX]

15. He should have a sense of humor about it

Ramps are a pain and there should have been steps.

He could have just been self-deprecsting and say. "I survived the great ramp of 2020" or something like that.

I don't remember how Obama responded to comments about his tan suit, but i'm sure he took it in stride.

Trump has no sense of humor and presidents face criticism 24/7.

Lol..an article on politico said it made him look like Shady Rest Home for the Weary.

The article points out that Trump attacked Hillary over her cough and use of back pillow.

[murielm99]

16. My knees can't take a great deal of stress these days, either.

I am seventy-one.

I don't like escalators any more, either. They give me vertigo.

I take stairs cautiously.

This is payback for him for criticizing Hillary.

[DENVERPOPS]

17. How did he wear out his knees/?????????????

The only ones with worn out knees are the ones he surrounds himself with...! LOL

They spend a lot of time on their knees whenever they are around him, licking his........... ring?........

[LiberalFighter]

19. They need to replace the steps in the White House with ramps for now.
