(11,885 posts)That's why the Biden health attacks, because trump's tells is project his issues onto others. Cause, high blood pressure, neurological conditions, pre-dementia?

Trump surely has heart blockages by now.

(4,574 posts)There is no shame in having a physical disability. But trump's callous and juvenile mocking of the disabled should make him the object of scorn for actions like this to hide his feebleness.

The admin. does trump's bidding such as this cover for the ramp to protect his lying 'image'. He's a perfect specimen, you see.
Mb tho the cover was provided so his honkin' bald spot didn't get burnt by the still strong NC sun.
He should have compunction for when he mocked that disabled reporter, but he won't. The enemy of our souls has got ahold of tЯump bigly.

FDR used a ramp. Some Senators have used a cane. It goes with age.

(740 posts)with any health issues he has it would be a different story. But like everything else in Trump world he lies about it. There in is the problem the American people deserve to know the truth at all times about the president health.

(43,111 posts)But it can still blowback on us if our own candidate has a minor misstep and the MSM fails to connect the hypocrisy because it's twice removed from the event - 2 missteps and a hypocrisy. Connecting 3 things is too complex for their 30 second minds. That's why I say let it go, it won't convert a lot of votes, there are bigger issues.
But you are correct.

(146,281 posts)FDR was in a wheelchair, and rarely were any photos of him ever taken using it. Hiding evidence of physical infirmities is part of presidential history, it seems.

I'm also speculating that when he was briefed about the preparations for this event is what precipitated the TIA tweets from the First Twit.
It's obviously not just about the Sun and heat. Because, the sides are covered as well.

(21,417 posts)handled his physical disability and how Trump is dealing with what surely is also a disability of some kind.
The nation knew that FDR had limited use of his legs and they knew that the reason was polio. They also knew that his mind still functioned clearly and sharlply, despite his physical disability. On occasion, FDR walked, using braces and canes rather than be wheeled in a chair. He knew that people perceived walking as strength compared to being in a wheelchair. People admired and respected the determination and courage that it took for him to walk. And he did not ridicule the disabilities of others, even before he became disabled himself.
Trump, however, has publicly ridiculed people for real and imagined disabilities. He tries to hide the very fact that something is wrong.with him now. No transparency whatever about it. No information on what the nature of the problem is. He appears to have a neurological problem, which might affect his thought processes and decisions. The nation has a right to know whether the guy with access to nuclear codes is firing on all cylinders mentally. If he isn't, then who is making decisions and policies and using him as a front man?
