The last thing I was going to do is “fall” for the Fake News to have fun with. Final ten feet I ran down to level ground. Momentum! Yeah, the video shows Trump is lying through his veneered teeth. Other videos show the exact same ramp being negotiated with no drama by both Obama and Biden: Obama: [User Clip: Obama ramp down | C-SPAN.org](https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4886844/user-clip-obama-ramp) …and [https://www.c-span.org/video/?319610-1/us-military-academy-commencement](https://www.c-span.org/video/?319610-1/us-military-academy-commencement) Biden: [https://twitter.com/BillKristol/status/1272234840432263169](https://twitter.com/BillKristol/status/1272234840432263169) I haven’t yet seen a clip with a straight-on comparison (same side of the ramp, going down) with anyone else, but no doubt in the next couple of days some will appear. ---

> [@DesertDog](#): > > I figured with the _tears in their eyes_ and _sir_ parts I wouldn’t need a sarcasm tag. > > I see I was wrong. I keep telling people sarcasm doesn’t come across well in text and you have to be very clear about it. This is situation is yet another example. I was _hoping_ it was sarcasm but I had no way to know for sure. Because I know people in real life for whom that sort of sentiment is sincere and not sarcastic. ---

He retweeted his “THE SILENT MAJORITY IS STRONGER THAN EVER!!!” tweet and replied to it, “So true!”. I’m not sure which is stranger, when he does that, or when he thanks himself in the second person (thank you, Donald Trump!) in his tweets. Is his malignant narcissism warping into Dissociative identity disorder? ---

What, you don’t talk to yourself? well, Trump seems to be the first person who _Tweets_ to himself. we’ll know he’s really gone off the deep end when he starts Tweet-arguing with himself. ---

I have a girl friend who thinks that Trump looks like he’s walking with heels as he’s coming down the ramp. Trump is pretty vain and I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised to learn that he uses lifts to give himself a few extra inches, especially around tough military leaders. If he’s already standing at steep angle then that slope would be even more amplified for making him feel like it’s slick. The lift idea also help explain some of his weird stance when it looks like he’s bending forward. On the other hand, it doesn’t do anything to explain his drinking problem… ---

> [@CalMeacham](#): > > What, you don’t talk to yourself? Well, of course I do. Sometimes, though, it gets embarrassing. Oh, no, it’s not the talking to myself in public that’s the problem. It’s not even the arguing with myself that’s an issue. It’s the occasional knock-down drag-out fist-fight. Come to think of it, I’d dearly love to see Trump stand in front of his (unknown size, but certainly smaller than he claims it is) crowd, open his mouth, say some BS, then slap himself hard across the face while yelling, “Liar!” It’d be like a cross between _All of Me_ and _Liar Liar_.
