Donny walked like he was drunk weeks before his visit to Walter Reed

This video is from November 10, 2018 and has been enhanced with labels and arrows for your delight and edification. Ataxia ($5.00 word for walking drunkenly) has been a longstanding problem, it's why ha needs a golf cart when other world leaders are taking a walk. His walking problems are not new. Neither is his state of denial.

Ataxoa can have many causes. In his case, it's not new at all. I'd feel sorry for him but he's done too much to piss me off.

and old age really sucks, even without kidney failure. With it, it's even worse.

Good thing I stopped driving, no way could I pass a sobriety test. I don't drink, but that wouldn't make a difference.

It's also longer standing than anyone seems ready or able to admit.

My best guess says he got hauled into Walter Reed after he kissed the floor. It could have been due to his already obvious ataxia, or there could have been another cause, like a TIA. That's why they tested his cognitive status. I imagine there were some raised eyebrows, but it appears he's largely intact.

As for his mental condition, he was born with loose screws. His daddy refused to let anyone tighten them.

not exactly on a straight line, but who does walk exactly on a straight line all the time. If anything, that walk of his down the ramp at Westpoint is much better evidence of ataxia.

He's got trouble. I won't hazard a guess to the cause but I do know the symptoms.
