Trump struggles to clasp the Medal of Honor to Major Nicholas Dockery -- and then ties it?

I’m absolutely not going to give an 80 year old with evident neuropathy a hard time for not being able to work that fucking clasp. His entire team of handlers are assholes for letting him try it, let alone on camera, but then, he certainly hasn’t surrounded himself with caring individuals.

In what way is neuropathy evident?

The difficulty he evinces every time he picks something up or tries manipulating small objects. His notoriously weak grip. The fact that he keeps bumping his hands into things because he can’t feel them. I see it frequently with older colleagues and relatives who are dealing with neuropathy.

Or any number of geriatric agility issues. Arthritis, tremors, etc. The only shame is in his hubris that insists he can still do everything.

And in all the people who seem to think that only someone completely able-bodied should be allowed to be POTUS. Which FDR & JFK might disagree with…
