Raw Story - 'I don't want to go': Trump complains about walking down stairs at MAGA conference

President-elect Donald Trump complained about possibly having to walk down steps to reach the stage at a conservative conference on Sunday.

As he walked out to the podium at AmFest in Arizona, Trump began by wishing the audience a Merry Christmas.

"Nice to win the election and very nice to win," the president-elect said. "And I want to wish everybody a very Merry Christmas. They don't say that too much anymore."

"And when I had all that smoke backstage, I said, Hey, are there any steps in front of me?" he continued. "I don't want to go. I go down. That would not be good."

"We don't want to do that nice and slow, but I just want to thank you."

Trump has a history of being mocked for slowly walking down stairs at previous events.

1. Balance is a major issue for him

Physical, I mean--we already know he's not mentally balanced

[allegorical oracle]

9. He possibly can no longer see his foot placement due to his girth. His bent-forward head

position suggests he's been watching his steps for a long time.

[Maeve]

10. It's also posdible he has less feeling in his feet

Hubby has neuropathy that leads to balance issues and falls. We don't know about tsf because we NEVER GET A REAL MEDICAL REPORT!!!!

[Blue_Tires]

12. He also famously wears some really high lifts in his shoes

Because he's self conscious about his height...

[oldtime dfl_er]

3. somehow

we as a nation have learned to interpret his word salad and make meaning of it, but if anyone else spoke like this we'd have them committed.

[Think. Again.]

4. Well...

....after what someone did to what happened to Ivana....

20. Have a nice trip. See you next fall. 😈

[Irish_Dem]

6. Why is he still going to MAGA conferences?

He doesn't need their votes any longer.

[allegorical oracle]

7. He still needs them to pressure fed/state Dems, balky Repugs, and media. nt

[Irish_Dem]

8. I see, they are still useful idiots.

And the orange F-wad loves attention and adoration.

[Maeve]

11. He needs their worship to feed his ego

[Irish_Dem]

17. Yes adoration is one of his drugs of choice.

[Blue_Tires]

16. He will go anywhere as long as there's a loud cheering crowd

of hand-picked supporters

[Orrex]

13. Why doesn't he just fucking die already?

[Orrex]

14. I'm sure that our top notch media will be all over this

You know, just like how they declared Biden senile and incompetent every time he took a breath before answering a question?

[Blue_Tires]

15. I'm old enough to remember the news media

Having THREE STRAIGHT FUCKING WEEKS of non-stop debate and discussion about the SCANDAL of Biden being too old and feeble to serve as leader of the free world and how Dems had been covering it up... They forced him out of the race just because he was less than perfect at one fucking debate. 🙄

[allegorical oracle]

19. Yeppers. Had problems with that because Biden seems healthier than the orange stewpot. While

I don't give a flip about how many years TSF lives, and I like Harris very much, it still gave me sads to see so many people turn their backs on Biden. Especially given that he actually won in 2020. Biden moves slowly, but believe his mind is keener than TSF's. But what is, is what it is.
