RT: ‘Parkinson’s? Dementia? Stroke?’ Trump’s ‘weird’ West Point appearance turns Twitter sleuths into medical experts
Donald Trump’s address at the West Point Military Academy has been dissected and analyzed by hundreds of wannabe online neurologists concerned by the supposedly ‘deteriorating health’ of the US commander-in-chief.
At one point during his speech to US military academy graduates on Saturday, Trump used both of his hands to lift a glass of water, while at the end of it he descended the ramp extremely carefully – too carefully for some.
These two “distressing” incidents were enough for the vast crowd of Trump detractors to declare the US leader unfit for service, propelling the #TrumpIsNotWell hashtag into top trends and diverting attention from what he had to say.

WNU Editor: I have seen him drink water like that from a glass/wine glass/etc. a couple of times over the years. That is nothing new. Just check out the video below from two years ago ridiculing him on how he drinks water.
But he was definitely careful walking down that ramp until the last few steps where he accelerated. I would not make much from this video. But if it happens a few times again, I would be asking questions. But for the moment it is just a distraction being used by his critics to not report on his speech, which is unfortunate because his remarks on racism in America were significant and newsworthy.
Update: President Trump has since responded to those who noticed he was careful walking down that ramp (see below).
The ramp that I descended after my West Point Commencement speech was very long & steep, had no handrail and, most importantly, was very slippery. The last thing I was going to do is “fall” for the Fake News to have fun with. Final ten feet I ran down to level ground. Momentum!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 14, 2020
