Why does Trump always have to hold onto a handrail when going up or down stairs? Is he that uncoordinated?

Just saw him getting off the plane, clinging to the handrail and coming down the steps like a 2 year old.

His being 70+, there could be lots of reasons. It takes more energy to go up and down stairs. Circulation problems in his legs could account for his need to steady himself on stairs. Also foot issues like gout or bursitis, where stairs may put more pressure on the front of the feet. There's also possible vision issues. Deterioration of peripheral vision can cause someone to misjudge a step's location and a serious injury. So hold on to the rail just in case.

@Heartlander Or maybe his bone spurs are acting up again

@independentone Bone spurs can be very serious. They are usually caused by osteoarthritis and can be very painful and debilitating. They are often associated with other conditions such as gout. The best description of what gout feels like is like having glass slivers in your joints. Most of these arthritic diseases have no cure.

I'm always amazed at how leftist work so hard to manufacture nastiness out of nothingness :) ... reverting even to calling national guard members "draft dodgers".
