moving about, which she does... otherwise, she holds it with the other hand. She insists it's not Parkinson's.

Trump is all about APPEARANCE of strength. Any sign of weakness is abhorrent to him. Any sign of physical illness terrifies Trump.

If indeed he has an underlying illness, it will eventually come up when he least expects it and it will be devestating to his fragile ego. There is something going on. My BIL has Parkinsons attributed to his exposure to Agent Orange after 2 -13 month tours with the US Marines in Vietnam. I have seen him shake, hold a glass with 2 hands, have trouble speaking, have trouble with his posture and balance. Even memory can be affected.

Thee is something going on with Trump that Doctors are not talking about, and he thinks he has the stanza to run again? "surely you jest" Trump.
