Trump mocks Biden and Obama for how they walk -- and it reveals more than he realizes

In his first rally since the United States and Israel launched a war against Iran, President Donald Trump touted his economic record and the U.S. military mission, but also took the time to rail against his political enemies’ physical abilities.

At a rally in Kentucky, Trump mentioned how he tried to avoid slipping down the soaking-wet stairs: “I do it very slowly...because nobody cares if you set a speed record.” He then said he “admired” former President Barack Obama’s ability to walk down stairs — but then disparaged him, claiming that Obama’s “bob down the stairs” was “unpresidential.”

Then he turned his attention to Joe Biden, recounting how the former president has fallen, “and the world watches that and they don’t like seeing it.”

Trump’s preoccupation with how his opponents stay on their feet is nothing new. He has fixatedupon it in past speeches, seemingly equating strength with the ability to go up and down stairs, and it reveals a lot about his views on leadership and who matters, according to a variety of experts on ableism.

He killed job growth, and in a basket of 23 other stock markets in developed nations for last year, America comes 21st. He has destroyed relationships and trading partnerships through lies, insults, constant changes of policy, and illegal tariffs. He's used tariffs as a weapon against his grudges (example Switzerland), and by cutting taxes by trillions for the very richest and underestimating tariff revenue, he has created a huge debt mountain for future years.

That sack of shit wouldn't survive a tumble down the stairs. I can't think of a more fitting end for him, in light of these comments.

"A circular, red bruise was spotted at the top of the president's left eyebrow on Wednesday."

Also on Wednesday: Trump out of the blue starts talking about how Obama walked too easily, which is "unpresidential," and Biden fell down.

Everything about that corrupt, criminal, grifting, conning, scamming, lowlife thug is "unpresidential." EVERYTHING.

He's becoming his own worst nightmare, an aging old man with physical issues. The way he walks, the way he moves and the way he speaks are all topics he's ridiculed in others.

in order to cover up and explain away his own need for very careful and slow steps to avoid slipping or falling in front of cameras.
