Trump is fixated on his health, how do we know this, because he tells us, over and over. His biggest fear seems to be Alzheimer. And, for good reason, his father, Fred, suffered from it the last six-years of his life.
From the Washington Post; Trump increasingly preoccupied with defending his physical and mental health:
The early June meeting in the Cabinet Room was intended as a general update on President Trump’s reelection campaign, but the president had other topics on his mind.
Trump had taken a cognitive screening test as part of his 2018 physical, and now, more than two years later, he brought up the 10-minute exam. He waxed on about how he’d dazzled the proctors with his stellar performance, according to two people familiar with his comments. He walked the room of about two dozen White House and reelection officials through some of the questions he said he’d aced, such as being able to repeat five words in order.
While Trump is obsessed with Joe Biden’s fitness to hold office, he is even more fearful of his own health. His attempts of painting Biden as feeble and out of it, have come back to haunt Trump as they have put spotlight on his own wellness and competency.
Another sign of Trump’s unease came Saturday night in Tulsa, when the president devoted more than 14 minutes to regaling a campaign rally crowd with the tale of “the ramp and the water.” Eager to dismiss questions about his fitness after he struggled with a glass of water and walked unsteadily down a ramp following his June 13 commencement address at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, Trump offered a revisionist history.
The ramp on that sunny day, Trump asserted, was as slippery as “an ice-skating rink.” But he “ran down” it nonetheless, he claimed, despite video evidence showing him shuffling down the incline haltingly. As for the water, Trump said, he used two hands to drink because he didn’t want to spill on his expensive silk tie.
The Lincoln Project has a new ad on Trump’s health. “Something’s wrong with Donald Trump.”
“He’s shaky, weak, trouble speaking, trouble walking,” “The most powerful office in the world needs more than a weak, unfit, shaky president.”
Reaching under his lectern in Tulsa during his reenactment episode Saturday, the president pulled out a glass of water and brought it to his lips with one hand, raising it to the crowd between sips as if toasting an achievement. Then he tossed it away to his side as his supporters roared with delight.
I, personally saw his hand shake as he lifted the glass to his mouth. He also never drank.
What I see Trump doing is projecting his insecurities, weakness, and his biggest fears onto others.
Trump believes that when he debates Biden, he will show up Biden’s physical and mental weaknesses.
Just like the Tulsa rally, Trump’s strategy may very well be his downfall.
Be careful what you wish for, Donald...
