The dementia test, the arm and leg weakness, the mystery trip to the hospital

It all fits. Trump has clear left sided body weakness. He talked about, out of nowhere that he took a dementia test recently, and the mystery trip to the hospital for "unscheduled annual physical" at midnight. And it explains why Trump is so obsessed with Bidens mental condition. The guy had a stroke.

Dragging right leg, walking down the ramp (step forward with left, drag right foot to catch up), inability to raise a water glass to his mouth with his right hand. That's just what I observed.

When her cancer reached the right side of her brain she slowly lost motor skills on her left side. She had to use a cane and by the end she was using a walker.

we dodged a big one. And as the Cardiologist said a couple hours later,BIL suffered left brain damage that would cause Right Side issues. Now since that night,he has been experiencing issues with stability and has fallen three times in the last month. BTW,he has had two stents implanted in the last ten days. Hopefully this gives him extra months.

He would have to pivot on his right foot to swing through the ball. I don't see that happening.

He hacks at the ball, very little follow through. No way is he breaking 110 on a good course.
