He’s trembling again.

President Trump struggled to lift a glass of water Saturday during his speech to U.S. Military Academy graduates at West Point.

Trump started to lift the glass with his right hand but seemed unable to guide it all the way up to his lips.

The president used his left hand to steady the glass and tilt it into his mouth.

After his speech, Trump also looked unsteady as he walked down a ramp after a lethargic speech to the graduates of the Army college.

He also had difficulty pronouncing the name of iconic World War II Gen. Douglas MacArthur.

Apparently rattled by the coverage, Trump took to Twitter late Saturday to blame a sleep and slippery ramp for his unsteady gait.

“The ramp...was very long & steep, had no handrail and, most importantly, was very slippery.,” he wrote on Twitter. “The last thing I was going to do is “fall” for the Fake News to have fun with.”

Wow.

What could cause this? (his need to use both hands to drink)

That's actually rather disconcerting, health wise I mean. (I don't care about him personally. Sorry).

I’ve read reports that say it could be an indicator of a neurological disorder and that he should be having scans to look into it.

I’m wondering whether he will dodge the debates so he doesn’t look like a dodderIng fool.

Video of him walking down the ramp.

There's a person walking next to him. Note how that man walks down alternating which foot leads. Trump always leads with his left foot. Almost seems that the right foot is just a little bit weaker than the left.

Interesting thought, but he's been off the drug (or so I thought) for a couple of weeks.

He's also had problems with drinking water, and his speech, in the past.

We may never know what drugs he is taking.
A stroke could cause one side to be impaired and affect his speech.

Based on my vast medical expertise (Which basically consists of being involved in my parents care when they were in their 90s),
This looks like someone who has had a mild stroke sometime within the last year.

It does look a bit like how my mother was after she had a couple TIAs.

Even the South China Morning Post had an article about it.

I had forgotten about that unscheduled visit to Walter Reed late last year.

Or he could just have arthritis in his knees and is feeling unstable because of that. I'm hesitant to give much of a diagnosis about his health because I'm not a doctor and this is less than 1 minute of tape.

What I am comfortable saying, however, is that he doesn't look at all comfortable or healthy in that video. Leaning over, grasping the podium, etc.

It would appear that he was, at least on that day, an unstable genius.
