Maybe he’s gripping the podium like a life raft because he’s got balance issues, as do so many of his fellow old folk. And using both hands to lift a glass to his lying lips because of shoulder issues, or a weakened grip. And tittuping down a gentle ramp because the vanity lifts in his shoes canter him forward like stiletto heels. The ‘prezdint’ whose mis-administration’s subtextual motto remains The Cruelty Is The Point is a failing primate, and his determination to keep playing the virile macho bully he’s been all his life only opens him to further mockery. To quote one of the GOP’s greatest speechwriters: Let. Us. Savor.

listen shit happens and life gets in the way and not everybody has the same abilities. making fun of them for that is wrong. FDR hid his disability because people are judgmental garbage. but trump’s entire gimmick is POWERFUL HEALTHY ALPHA MALE and I’m sorry it’s just funny
