1. Hmmm.

[progressiveforever]

2. I see it

No idea, but I see what you are talking about.

[Grins]

3. His "Depends" are leaking again.

Running down his legs. I’d feel for him, but fuck that guy.

[George II]

6. Maybe that's it, he's shaking it down his leg?

[DUgosh]

4. Wow

[NightWatcher]

5. Peripheral Neuropathy?

Its when you lose feeling in your extremities due to nerve issues. It would explain his inability to walk up a slight ramp, hold a cup of water.....

I have it and it sucks sometimes.

[Mike 03]

8. We've seen this before. And another DUer knew what this looked like.

It has a medical term.

Foot drop? I think that's what the person called it. It's a symptom of something.

[Mopar151]

30. Pinched nerve?

I'm thinking his L-5 isn't all that.....

[chriscan64]

9. He does the hokey-pokey then the lies come out his mouth...

[cornball 24]

10. Perhaps the lift in his shoe that has to endure the weight of the fat f--k!

[George II]

13. Other than an actual physical / muscular problem, maybe he's missing the lift in one shoe?

[kimbutgar]

11. Looks like he had a mild stroke by the way he swings his foot to walk.

[Mike 03]

16. That is what a DUer with some medical background said.

I think he/she called it "foot drop".

Causes
Foot drop is caused by weakness or paralysis of the muscles involved in lifting the front part of the foot. Causes of foot drop might include:

Nerve injury. The most common cause of foot drop is compression of a nerve in your leg that controls the muscles involved in lifting the foot (peroneal nerve). This nerve can also be injured during hip or knee replacement surgery, which may cause foot drop.

A nerve root injury — "pinched nerve" — in the spine can also cause foot drop. People who have diabetes are more susceptible to nerve disorders, which are associated with foot drop.

Muscle or nerve disorders. Various forms of muscular dystrophy, an inherited disease that causes progressive muscle weakness, can contribute to foot drop. So can other disorders, such as polio or Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.

Brain and spinal cord disorders. Disorders that affect the spinal cord or brain — such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis or stroke — may cause foot drop.

But I don't know, and I'm definitely NOT a doctor. Just a curious person.

[kimbutgar]

25. My Grandfather had a gait like that after his stroke.

[treestar]

45. My SIL did that after a stroke

She eventually recovered further, but right after it, she walked like that.

[yardwork]

58. I'm not a clinician, but this lay person thinks he had a stroke.

I think he had a stroke the day he was rushed to Walter Reed. I think it affected the right side of his body. They're hiding it from us.

[Hoyt]

12. Quite pronounced. I've done that after hiking in crummy socks.

Or maybe — as someone above pointed out — his lift it’s fitting right.

[Grokenstein]

14. Stroke.

He has the best strokes, you wouldn't believe. Amazing!

[zipplewrath]

15. Mild Stroke

Okay, I'm guessing. It looks a bit like "drop foot" which can be temporary or permanent. Back problems can cause it, like bulging disks. But pain is often connected to such problems. A mild stroke could result in something similar. And with that quick rush to the hospital, and a cognitive test, suggests there was concern about such a thing. And that's the same side as the hand that couldn't handle the water glass.

[dixiegrrrrl]

17. That's a gait problem that can occur in dementia

just like the way he stands is telling..

Good article here:

Five studies presented at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in Vancouver this month provide striking evidence that when a person’s walk gets slower or becomes more variable or less controlled, his cognitive function is also suffering.

Thinking skills like memory, planning activities or processing information decline almost in parallel with the ability to walk fluidly, these studies show.

In other words, the more trouble people have walking, the more trouble they have thinking.

“If gait begins to deteriorate, we begin to have a conversation about how is your memory.”

18. It's attached to an asshole?

[muriel_volestrangler]

19. It'a attached to a diseased cyst of racism and neuroses (nt)

[Manifestor_of_Light]

20. Please consult TomJChicago on Twitter.

He has a lot of info on Frontotemporal lobe dementia, and examples of Trump's mental and physical deficiencies in clips. That's why he stands like an oaf leaning forward, hands limp at sides. He also thinks that last November, when there was an unannounced visit to Walter Reed, Trump probably had a mild stroke.

22. That's a great Twitter account!

Thanks for reminding us about it.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

40. Yes it is!

The other people I check out on Twitter are Molly Jong-Fast (Erica Jong's daughter for those of us of a certain age) and
Seth Abramson and Neal Katyal.

[USALiberal]

21. DU Doctors! nt

[TheCowsCameHome]

23. Dunno, but I hope the media runs with it.

[Squinch]

24. Looks like foot drop. Often caused by stroke. The twitch out to the side is a way to

get the toes to clear without having to lift the leg very high and without having to have control of the raising of the toes.

[Mike 03]

27. Thanks for the explanation.

[magicarpet]

26. His dick fell off, rolled down his pant leg, and is now in his right shoe.

He is trying not to step on it until he can get back to the White House so Ivanka can sew it back on.

[George II]

28. We have a winner!!!!!

[Docreed2003]

29. As others have said, this looks like "foot drop"

He's suffered some form of neurological damage because his gait is clearly compensating for the right foot.

[DesertRat]

32. +1

Combined with his inability to drink with only 1 hand. Possibly a stroke?

[Wounded Bear]

31. Pence has been over humping it, maybe...

[Talitha]

44. Hahahaha!!!!

[GoCubsGo]

33. Could be any one of the things mentioned here already, or...

It could also just be a case of "Look! Squirrel!!!" He could just be trying to distract everyone from the fact that he just violated the Hatch Act with this trip. Everyone is talking about his gait, rather than the fact that he's using this taxpayer-funded visit as a campaign stunt.

[2naSalit]

49. Good point.

[GoCubsGo]

54. I put nothing past that despicable sack of shit.

Including faking illness/behaving oddly in order illness to distract.

[2naSalit]

55. I wouldn't either...

But my not so deviant mind can't of every evil thing he would.

[Yavin4]

34. It's all the weight that his legs have to carry.

Take it from a fat guy like me. I have a strange walk.

[Steelrolled]

35. It's a trick! Don't fall for it!

[mnmoderatedem]

36. it can't be a stroke

he's the healthiest president of all time. it's been well established.

[pandr32]

37. A stroke

It would explain his Nov. Walter Reed sudden visit

[Frustratedlady]

38. He was coming down the steps from AF1, a few days ago, and when he got about halfway down,

it looked like his right foot slipped on the step...then, the next one, but he was able to maintain his balance so he didn't fall. Then, I thought I must have misread it because I didn't see any comments about it. It was at night, but I can't remember where he had been.

[lame54]

39. It's attached to a racist asshole

[Bucky]

50. d'Oh! Beat me to it

[sarcasmo]

41. The leg has been wonky since the last Walter Reed visit.

[doc03]

42. It's called the Curly shuffle yna yna yna. nt

[JHB]

52. Obligatory context

[Grammy23]

43. It would be helpful if someone could

Slow that video down so his gait can be seen a little easier. It it is definitely odd. And there are plenty of other videos of him walking that be used for comparison.

[JHB]

46. It temporarily became self-aware and realized who it was attached to?

[mcar]

47. That is some weird shit there, George

[Bucky]

48. It's attached to an asshole

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

53. Leg bone connected to the ass bone, ...

... ass bone connected to the head bone, ...

So he walks around with his head up his ass.

[George II]

57. I thought his ass bone was connected to his brain bone?

[rgbecker]

51. Bone spurs acting up?

[JustGene]

56. I walk like that

Due to P.A.D.
Stents need replacing or bypass.

[dalton99a]

59. Kick

[Whiskeytide]

60. Yeah. It's attached to an asshole. n/t
