1. Maybe Secret Service required it? nt

[SharonAnn]

21. Absolutely. Security stuff is serious, and should be.

They’re not going to let him walk out in the open, for 1,000 feet, especially when they haven’t been able to “secure the area”.

[rurallib]

2. Was t raining?

I've heard he doesn't like to go out in the rain.

[Cha]

3. No energy.. a wasted spectacle

of a man?

[UniteFightBack]

4. Because he doesn't walk....that is for little people. nt

5. Bone spur must be acting up

[Kingofalldems]

8. That's what a CNN guy tweeted.

6. I don't think he can walk very far.

I’m beginning to wonder if he is having mobility problems.

[Grasswire2]

10. Actually, I noticed in the video of the California fire tour that something is amiss with his gait.

He swings his right foot as if there's some kind of a problem. I was attuned to it because my former husband was a polio survivor and he had the same kind of anomaly. He couldn't bring his front foot UP, and so he had to slightly swing it to take a step without the toe dragging.

There was just something amiss in Trump that I saw, and it was when he was walking toward the camera.

16. He is physically incapable

Cheeseburgers, lack of exercise, and non-stop fear of being exposed is bound to take a physical toll eventually

[2naSalit]

30. You mean, like gout?

[rgbecker]

7. Possible rain and the Helicopter was grounded.

[Grasswire2]

11. I don't think there's a place to land a helicopter at Blair House.

It's just a very tall Federal style house.

[FakeNoose]

9. Just to clarify the location of Blair House

I walk my dog a longer distance than this!

[Grasswire2]

13. the walk is farther to the church where presidents usually attend and walk to..

...than to Blair House. He couldn't walk two blocks?

[smirkymonkey]

14. What a lazy ass slob!

Next time they should lure him there with a piece of KFC on a stick and make him chase it. That's about the only thing that would get his fat ass moving.

[912gdm]

12. He was pouting.

He didn't want to go, but staff told him to because, presidential. So his little tantrum was "Nyah! Then im riding in the limo!"

[Grasswire2]

15. that photo in the car........ugh! nt

[Ohiogal]

17. Why didn't he ride the Presidential Rascal?

[Totally Tunsie]

18. @@#$%&*()!!!

[Mendocino]

19. He did walk,

across a stage the other day proclaiming "get me out of here".

[Hekate]

20. Coward fears public retribution. Also, low energy. Bad health. Walks like an old old man. nt

[MFM008]

26. 72

Last time i checked that IS an old man.
Hell, im old at 60.

[llmart]

36. I'm 70...

and walk four miles every freakin' day, rain, snow, heat, etc.

He's not physically fit at all. That's evident by his big ass and gut.

[Hekate]

38. I've known men of 80-90 who walk erectly. DTs is all hunched over at the shoulders, wobbles a bit...

He's only 72 and looks bad.

Hubs and I are 71 and not athletes by any means, but Trump looks and acts old and sick.

[Raine]

22. Security reasons

most likely.

23. As if we won't notice,

tRump looks positively miserable lately. He is either scowling or looking like he could bite the head off of a bat. It isn’t much fun to be POTUS these days and he is finding that he is unable to opt out of everything he is required to do. Some things ya just gotta do. Like make condolence calls. Not that he has the first clue of what to say or even how to fake it.

On top of that, it appears his health has taken a nose dive. He just looks old and kinda sick. He rocks slightly when he should be standing steadily. He looks unsure of himself like he doesn’t quite know what to do. At the the visitation to pay his respects (or what he thought passed for it) he clearly was looking for guidance from Melania who gave him the signal....not yet.

The ordeal of actually being president and the stress from the Mueller investigation is taking its toll. It should not be a surprise to anyone if he has a major health crisis soon. If Mueller reveals what many of us suspect he will, tRump may not survive it. I personally want to see the bastard live to face trial and punishment. Death would be the easy way out for him.

[rampartc]

27. he is over 70, over weight, does no exercise and eats

high fat/high cholesterol. what kind of shape can he be in?

i don't think he takes his responsibilities seriously enough for stress to be a factor.

[2naSalit]

31. He's only worried about his show being cancelled...nt

[Grammy23]

37. I don't think the stress worrying him is about his responsibilities as POTUS.

The stress that is eating his lunch and pushing him over the edge is that Mueller is probing into his deepest secrets. Like his finances and how he has kept his empire afloat all these years. He has had close calls in the past with bankruptcies and other financial disasters but he always managed to avert true disaster. Most people were unaware of the behind the scenes maneuvering it took and just how devious he was to pull it off. He took the credit by claiming to be some kind of financial genius with knowledge no one else possessed.

Now he has an investigation that he can’t completely control. There will be complications if he does what his gut tells him to do. He has enough lackeys and advisers at his elbow telling him to show restraint — but that is not what he is used to doing. He is used to playing by tRump rules not the law of the land. If it were up to him, he’d have squashed the investigation from the beginning.

That is what I mean by stress building and worrying him, maybe literally to death. You are right that he doesn’t take his responsibilities as POTUS seriously. He thought (and said) he could do both jobs — run tRumpco and the US — at the same time. His narcissism led him to where he is now. The next year will be like no other we’ve ever seen. We’ve had politicians and leaders who were unscrupulous and who did unethical things but tRump has taken that to another level. The world may well be shocked and stunned at what Mueller uncovers and THAT is at heart of tRump’s angst and heart burn.

24. Maybe somebody told him that the Obamas used to walk to Blair House, so ...

[Buckeyeblue]

25. His walking has declined significantly in the last 2 years

The video of him on the red carpet last week was very telling. He seems to struggle as he walked alone. He probably is physically incapable of walking that far without stopping along the way for breaks.

He is in his 70's, is overweight, and have never really exercised in his life. In another two years, it wouldn't surprise me if he has to use a walker.

I wonder if he has had any falls?

[rampartc]

28. diabetes might be a factor as well.

at that weight and low exercise his feet may be rotting off.

[HipChick]

34. Having his toes/foot removed..

side effect of unmanaged diabetes..

[2naSalit]

32. Gout maybe?

[ok_cpu]

29. Any chance it wasn't just laziness / inability to walk that far?

But also an opportunity to big time the Bushes and remind them that he's the pResident now?

[nolabear]

33. Come to think of it, he hasn't been golfing lately.

Hmmmmmmmmmm...🤔

[Kingofalldems]

35. I think he played Thanksgiving weekend.
