1. Yes please do!

McConnell reached behind him, obviously expecting Trump to take his arm (much like if he was reaching back for a small child), and Mitch isn't the most sturdy-looking guy out there himself.

Someone on Twitter said that Trump is afraid of stairs/steps, I don't know how true that is, but it all looked so strange!

2. Trump is afraid of stairs

Many clips of him going down the stairs of AF1 squeezing Melania's hand. And Theresa May mentioned it as well.

He ain't well.

3. I have trouble with downstairs and I'm his age

For me, it's a knee issue. I don't have problems with upstairs.

7. Yes, it has been mentioned often throughout the past 9 months

and watching him going down stairs verifies it for me.
