In his first rally since the United States and Israel launched a war against Iran, President Donald Trump touted his economic record and the U.S. military mission, but also took the time to rail against his political enemies physical abilities.
At a rally in Kentucky, Trump mentioned how he tried to avoid slipping down the soaking-wet stairs: I do it very slowly...because nobody cares if you set a speed record. He then said he admired former President Barack Obamas ability to walk down stairs but then disparaged him, claiming that Obamas bob down the stairs was unpresidential.
Then he turned his attention to Joe Biden, recounting how the former president has fallen, and the world watches that and they dont like seeing it.
Trumps preoccupation with how his opponents stay on their feet is nothing new. He has fixatedupon it in past speeches, seemingly equating strength with the ability to go up and down stairs, and it reveals a lot about his views on leadership and who matters, according to a variety of experts on ableism.

(11,868 posts)He killed job growth, and in a basket of 23 other stock markets in developed nations for last year, America comes 21st. He has destroyed relationships and trading partnerships through lies, insults, constant changes of policy, and illegal tariffs. He's used tariffs as a weapon against his grudges (example Switzerland), and by cutting taxes by trillions for the very richest and underestimating tariff revenue, he has created a huge debt mountain for future years.

Also on Wednesday: Trump out of the blue starts talking about how Obama walked too easily, which is "unpresidential," and Biden fell down.
