There appears to be more and more evidence, daily, of President Donald Trump’s physical deterioration, whether it’s mysterious bruises on his hands or swollen ankles.
There have been reports, going as far back as March, about Trump “dragging” his leg, especially during golf outings, and now there’s another example of the same thing, as pointed out on X by journalist Ron Filipkowski:

This happened just over a week after Trump appeared unable to walk in a straight line after getting off the plane in Alaska for his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin:
Trump couldn’t even walk in a straight line to greet Putin; stumbling like a man who just met gravity for the first time.

Back in June, California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared that Trump is clearly in both mental and physical decline.
“He’s lost it. He hasn’t lost a step. And I saw him trip on the steps today. This is serious. He is not the same person that I dealt with just four years ago. And he’s incapable now of even a train of thought. He’s making things up and he’s putting people’s lives at risk,” the California governor said.

There were quite a few amused responses on social media to the president’s obvious leg-dragging:

I just googled if dragging your leg is a part of congestive heart failure, and it turns out it is. The heart can’t pump enough blood, so the legs & feet swell creating significant gait changes

I won’t play armchair doctor.
I don’t have to: Trump turns 80 next year.
Trump is, by anyone’s definition, an old man.
And Trump is *clearly* not as sharp as he used to be.
Concerns about Biden’s age/health were fair game.
They’re equally fair game for Trump. https://t.co/pDnK7DIoQb
