Watching it again, I do see now, his foot slipping and kind of dragging which leads to him having trouble with the handle and looking at it again, it does actually look like he's struggling more than I realized at the first glance and I only really watched it probably once or twice the first time.

Donald Trump sparks health fears by 'dragging' leg and 'gripping stair rail'

Imy Brighty-Potts 3-4 minutes   3/20/2024


Donald Trump's health and ability to lead has been brought into question once again as he was spotted appearing to be 'dragging' his right leg as he held on tightly to a handrail

Critics of the controversial ex-president   Donald Trump   are questioning the mobility of his right leg after a video went viral online of him allegedly "dragging" it as he walked, seeming to struggle.

The presumed 2024 GOP presidential nominee has decided to run for president again following his 2020 defeat but critics have been quick to speculate about his physical condition and health at   77 years old . Social media users have zeroed in on the mobility of his right leg, even though Trump has never reported anything to be wrong with the limb.

In a video posted to X, formerly   Twitter , by Ron Filipkowski, a vocal Trump critic and editor-in-chief of the independent news network MeidasTouch, Trump can be seen dancing on stage and moving his clenched fists back and forth while audience members cheer him on. But once the dance is over Trump can be seen making his way off stage, gripping the handrails of the stairs as he walks down them, appearing to steady himself.

"Something is definitely going on with his right leg. He's been dragging it for months. This weekend..." Filipowski captioned the video. The post has already been viewed more than a million times and viewers have started chiming in with their own speculation about the controversial mogul's health.

"He gripped that stair rail for life didn't he?" one person commented on the post. This comes after Trump has launched ranting diatribes of criticism about the health of President   Joe Biden . He has questioned Biden's mental state and physical health, and just this week President Biden was spotted wearing a sportier alternative to his normally smart shoes amid fears his stability has begun to deteriorate.

"Imagine the right wing's reaction if [President] Joe Biden were dragging his leg around like that. It would be lead story on Fox News every night and every pundit would be talking about it. Since it's   Trump , of course, they all ignore it," said one commenter. Someone else added: "Also, now needing to hold onto not just one handrail, but both. Was his walker waiting at the bottom of the stairs?"

While previously avoiding questions about his health, Trump has begun to be more open. "You always have to talk about health," Trump said in an interview with The Washington Post recently.

"You look like you're in good health, but tomorrow, you get a letter from a doctor saying come see me again. That's not good when they use the word again."

Trump's team published a report in November that he claims was from his physician, which stated his cognitive health was "exceptional" and that he had "reduced his weight through an improved diet and continued daily physical activity."

There was a recent rally he was at in New Mexico I think and a person in the crowd needed medical attention, again.  While they were waiting he said to play one song, God bless the USA.

What's the deal with all these people needing medical attention at these things?

Eght years ago today, Hillary tweeted that "computer scientists" had uncovered a Trump- Russia link. What she did not mention was that those "computer scientists" were her own campaign operatives and that she had orchestrated the entire hoax . No one has ever been held to account.

Sullivan, of "the Middle East has never been so peaceful" fame was rewarded for his participation in the hoax by being named Biden's National Security Advisor. 

The secret server lie went unpunished, so they expanded to the 51 intelligence officials letter the next time around and the creator of that lie was named Biden's Secretary of State.  

Creating hoaxes is really the path to success in a Democratic administration.

They've better look out for those 'nasty' micro and nano - plastics their little insider joke is causing them. Once again, following Crooked Donald's lead may get some of his followers in deeper health troubles:


Tiny shards of plastic are increasingly infiltrating our brains, study says
By  Sandee LaMotte , CNN

August 25, 20 24

[Excerpt.]

Nanoplastics ‘hijack’ their way into the brain

For the study, researchers examined brain, kidney and liver tissues from 92 people who underwent a forensic autopsy to verify cause of death in both 2016 and 2024. Brain tissue samples were gathered from the frontal cortex, the area of the brain associated with thinking and reasoning, and which is most affected by  frontotemporal dementia (FTD)  and  later stages  of Alzheimer’s disease.

“Based on our observations, we think the brain is pulling in the very smallest nanostructures, like 100 to 200 nanometers in length, whereas some of the larger particles that are a micrometer to five micrometers go into the liver and kidneys,” Campen said.

Related article Nanoplastics linked to heart attack, stroke and early death, study finds

Microplastics  are fragments that can range from less than 0.2 inch (5 millimeters) or about the size of a pencil eraser, to 1 nanometer. A strand of human hair is about 80,000 nanometers wide, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency. Anything smaller is a nanoplastic that must be measured in billionths of a meter.

Nanoplastics  are the most worrisome plastics for human health, experts say, because the minuscule pieces can take up residence inside individual cells.

“Somehow these nanoplastics hijack their way through the body and get to the brain, crossing the blood-brain barrier,” Campen said. “Plastics love fats, or lipids, so one theory is that plastics are hijacking their way with the fats we eat which are then delivered to the organs that really like lipids — the brain is top among those.”

The human brain is about  60% fat  by weight, far more than any other organ.  Essential fatty acids, such as omega 3s, are key to the strength and performance of the brain’s cells. Since the human body can’t produce essential fatty acids on its own, they must come from food or supplements.

Diet is the main route of exposure for micro- and nanoplastics, said Landrigan, who is the lead author of a  March 2023 report  from the  Minderoo – Monaco Commission on Plastics and Human Health,  a global consortium of scientists, health-care workers and policy analysts charged with following plastics from creation to final product.

In that report, the consortium determined plastics are associated with harms to human health at every single stage of the plastic lifecycle.

“Some microplastics are also airborne,” Landrigan said. “For example, when people are driving down the highway and their tires are abrading on the surface of the highway, a certain amount of microplastic particles are thrown into the air.

“If you live near the coast, some of the microplastic particles that are in the ocean get kicked into the air through wave action,” he said. “So ingestion is probably the dominant route, but inhalation is also an important route .

A Woman Died After Being Told It Would Be a “Crime” to Intervene in Her Miscarriage at a Texas Hospital

Josseli Barnica is one of at least two pregnant Texas women who died after doctors delayed emergency care. She’d told her husband that the medical team said it couldn’t act until the fetal heartbeat stopped.

Crooked Donald won't say it or the name of the other pregnant Texas women (a "home-girl" to Texans). It is as if they did not exist for trumpists. . . and not exist for fraudulent prolifers. 

And these people want FOUR MORE YEARS of dead girls and women in red states to come!

The death of Amber Thurman , a 28-year-old mother,  has been linked directly to Georgia’s draconian abortion ban , a ban that exists because Donald Trump proudly oversaw the end of Roe. v. Wade during his presidency.

At a Fox News town hall focused on women’s issues  – taped Tuesday in Atlanta and broadcast Wednesday – Trump, the network host and the town hall attendees  treated Thurman’s death and her family’s grief like a laugh line .


Crooked Donald is a LIAR he will not protect girls or women. He is a LIAR!

Commentary: Why no Christian should vote for Donald Trump

Commentary: Why no Christian should vote for Donald Trump

Commentary: Why no Christian should vote for Donald Trump


When I shared on social media outlets that I was intending to present a case to Christians against voting for former President Donald Trump, one person commented, “It’s crazy that you even have to write it.” I wholeheartedly agree. However, it is very necessary that I do so.

In the Gospels, Jesus is shown to be loving, humble, selfless, forgiving and to have compassion for the “least of these” in society. Trump, on the other hand, is the antithesis of a Christ-like person. Yet, since his first presidential campaign, Trump has received overwhelming support from white Christians, regardless of faith tradition.

I contend there are four reasons that Christians should not vote for Trump:
He’s a racist. I do not have the space to elucidate the numerous examples of Trump’s racism and white supremacy over the decades. I need only highlight one recent example: Trump propagated the racist lie that Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, were eating their neighbors’ pets. It was a lie he repeated even after it was debunked. Trump has always sought to vilify the “others.” In this case, the others are dark-skinned immigrants of the African diaspora.

Genesis 1:26 says, “ Then God said, ‘Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us.’” Inherent in this declaration is that all persons regardless of race or ethnicity are created in God’s image and should be treated with equity. Clearly Trump does not believe or practice this truth.

He’s a misogynist. Jesus affirmed women as valuable, equal partners in the creation and redemption stories. In the context of a highly patriarchal society where women were treated as property, Jesus addressed them directly in public as he did men.
Trump’s history indicates he believes women only exist to please men. He infamously boasted about grabbing women by the genitals. He has been accused by 27 women of sexual misconduct, and found liable by a jury in a civil case last year of sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll.

He’s a narcissist. Ultimately, narcissists are only concerned with their own interests. There are mounds of evidence that Trump is a narcissist. In fact, many of my fellow mental health clinicians have broken with the Goldwater rule — the convention against diagnosing someone in the public eye who they have not personally evaluated — and asserted that Trump has “malignant narcissism.”
I firmly believe that someone with malignant narcissism is unfit to be a role model for my children, let alone the president of the United States. Further, narcissistic behavior is contrary to what the Scriptures indicate is commendable. So, there is no justifiable reason for a Christian to vote for a narcissist like Trump.

He’s a fascist. Fascism is an authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, often associated with the far right and characterized by a dictatorial leader who uses military forces to help suppress political and civil opposition. Christians who honestly examine Trump’s rhetoric will hear echoes of fascist leaders such as Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.
For instance, Trump has recently doubled down on referring to his political opponents as “the enemy within,” and has said he would deploy military forces against them. Trump’s former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, retired Gen. Mark Milley, has called Trump “dangerous” and a “fascist to the core.”

In sum, Trump embodies racism, misogyny, narcissism and fascism — all of which are antithetical to the Way of Jesus and the principles found in Scripture. Even at that, some Christians have erroneously claimed that Trump has been uniquely “chosen by God” to lead our nation. In my estimation, such a claim is not only wrong, it is heretical.
American Christians are faced with a day of decision on Nov. 5. Either we will choose Kamala Harris, who is committed to democracy and the rule of law, or we will choose Donald Trump, who has an unquenchable thirst for power.
Let those who have ears to hear make the only sensible choice.

Right now I would say it is because of their false idol with the orange skin

Trumps face is starting to look more gold than orange.  Which would make sense since gold is his favorite color.
