5. Could be the less common result of a stroke

Right side neglect:

Stated too simply to provide the concept: a stroke on the left side of the brain can affect the right side of the body.

More commonly, stroke victims have left side neglect - the other side of the brain suffers the damage from a stroke.

It could explain his problem with the water drinking and walking.

Could explain some of his other dementia like symptoms.
He's probably having TIAs - little strokes - which would explain some of his speech problems.

The guy is under incredible stress. Juggling 18,000+ lies, pressure from Putin, Roger Stone or others who are blackmailing him, financial pressures on a business that has always been a house of cards, all kinds of litigation for personal suits and congress, lousy polls, unable to trust anyone in the GOP except those he's blackmailing, potential scrutiny for tax evasion, facing jail if he loses the election, etc.

He's a cardiovascular event waiting to happen - if it hasn't been happening already - as it appears it has.

Trump walking down the ramp. Observation: Trump's left leg takes the step and the right [View all] LizBeth Jun 2020 OP

Yes. He swings that leg when he walks and the arm is unsteady. nolabear Jun 2020 #1

Why not take the glass in good left hand? Laura PourMeADrink Jun 2020 #25

I have considered that also. If right is weak, grab left hand.One would think a person would adapt. LizBeth Jun 2020 #28

Habit, because he is right handed? treestar Jun 2020 #60

numbness/weakness in the extremities on one side is a pretty common result of a stroke....... Takket Jun 2020 #2

That is the event I consider too. LizBeth Jun 2020 #8

Same! Wawannabe Jun 2020 #43

Yes, he had a stroke as this is a major sign for sure. That explains too the rush trip.... machoneman Jun 2020 #76

Every odd physical quirk he exhibits... ARPad95 Jun 2020 #4

Oh tongue, remember some of that tongue movement we see. And walking down ramp, odd stuff with lips. LizBeth Jun 2020 #9

My dad died of ALS and trump's symptoms don't look like ALS. It doesn't affect one side of the body catbyte Jun 2020 #14

Everyone progresses differently with ALS. ARPad95 Jun 2020 #16

Still doesn't look like ALS. I've worked with ALS patients since my dad died in 2000. catbyte Jun 2020 #20

Yes, all anyone can do is speculate at this point until he has an official diagnosis. /nt ARPad95 Jun 2020 #21

How does this apply to either FTD (Frontal Temporal Dementia), or Untreated Neurosyphilis? Lithos Jun 2020 #23

Yes... The tilting forward. And ... How he turns his head Laura PourMeADrink Jun 2020 #27

What is left side neglect? Laura PourMeADrink Jun 2020 #29

"What is left neglect and who does it affect?" Jarqui Jun 2020 #52

Thanks. Should have looked it up myself. So looking at Laura PourMeADrink Jun 2020 #57

Yes, his left hand appears to be helping his right hand Jarqui Jun 2020 #65

DU Doctors!!! nt USALiberal Jun 2020 #12

Hardly a doctor, merely observations. Even a layman can observe. LizBeth Jun 2020 #13

Yup! It's obvious he has a health issue(s) affecting his fine and gross motor skills. /nt ARPad95 Jun 2020 #15

Actually, what has been known for some time is that he has a phobia about stairs. onenote Jun 2020 #54

I thought he claimed to be a germaphobe? The ramp at West Point was not stairs. ARPad95 Jun 2020 #59

As past articles about his phobia make clear, it applies to ramps and slopes, not just stairs. onenote Jun 2020 #73

I guess it's a question of "which came first, the chicken or the egg?" ARPad95 Jun 2020 #75

Bet we have seen him a million times more than a doctor would have. Laura PourMeADrink Jun 2020 #30

Have we seen any tremors? I have not Laura PourMeADrink Jun 2020 #32

I was wondering the same. We have seen one hand grab and hold onto his other hand. LizBeth Jun 2020 #35

Yet if I was a uber vain as trump I would not pick up my Laura PourMeADrink Jun 2020 #39

Right. I can see him forgetting here and there. Same when walking down conscious three steps and LizBeth Jun 2020 #41

Happy Birthday Mad King Trump! Aussie105 Jun 2020 #22

But he can still swing a golf club since that's mostly the left arm. nt SunSeeker Jun 2020 #24

Interesting that the power comes from left. Trump playing golf though kinda rains on all this LizBeth Jun 2020 #31

You can be pretty close to death and still play golf, judging by some old golfers I know. SunSeeker Jun 2020 #49

Very cool. Good info, I did not know. LizBeth Jun 2020 #50

It was a Saturday too, I think. No tie either. Afternoon out of the blue. LizBeth Jun 2020 #45

Why do all the DU doctors ignore the simplest explanation: his reported fear of stairs. onenote Jun 2020 #55

There is that and that was my first consideration with the ramp. Being one with ridiculously absurd LizBeth Jun 2020 #67

Simple. It's THIS (shoe lifts) Roland99 Jun 2020 #68

So the lift is inside the shoe putting his heal well up and almost out of the shoe? LizBeth Jun 2020 #71

That is how I do the stairs Marrah_Goodman Jun 2020 #69

Good health for you. Because it makes life that much lighter. LizBeth Jun 2020 #72
