The New York Times went THERE today over President Trump’s appearance at West Point where he was caught on video walking down a ramp and drinking a glass of water in a way that wasn’t to their liking:
“Mr. Trump held the glass with his right hand and brought it to his mouth, but appeared to momentarily have trouble lifting his arm farther. He used his left hand to push the bottom of the glass so that it reached his lips.” https://t.co/n4xtL0nCfL

We’ll remember this when Joe Biden also gets caught on video doing something that might call into question his health and ability to serve:

Anyway, in what has to be a big disappointment to the Left and their PR arm, President Trump walked down the stairs from Air Force One moments ago without issue:

And reporters on hand reported no issues with his departure, which we’re sure they’d do if there was a problem:

Nor did they report any issues as he left Marine One when it landed at the White House:

Oh, and he got on Air Force One in New Jersey without incident as well:

President Trump did explain his caution over the walkway, saying the ramp was “slippery”:
Pres tweeted last night to explain why he walked so gingerly as he descended the ramp off the stage at West Point® yesterday. He said it was long, steep, slippery and had no handrail, "The last thing I was going to do is “fall” for the Fake News to have fun with. pic.twitter.com/IakhGZJhtM
