People Seem To Think Trump Has Trouble Walking In A Straight Line In New Video

This is not normal

During his recent visit to the Abrahamic Family House in Abu Dhabi, Donald Trump was caught on video walking in a strange, wobbly way.

Trump, now 78 years old, was seen moving slowly with uneven steps as he toured the interfaith center. In the short clip, he looked like he lost his balance a little while walking between the mosque, church, and synagogue inside the Abrahamic Family House.

All over social media, people began talking, joking, and even worrying about the way Trump was walking. Some people said he looked like he was “staggering.” Others joked that he was “waddling” like a person wearing a diaper. One user even wrote, “Shifting diaper.”

Trump has never publicly admitted to any mobility issues. He often boasts about his energy and strength, even claiming once during a rally, “I  feel sharper now than I did 20 years ago.”

The video also includes older clips from his time in office. In one, Trump appears to struggle walking down a ramp at West Point in 2020. At the time, critics raised concerns, but Trump dismissed the issue, saying the ramp was “slippery.” However, the latest clip has many thinking those moments were not just one-time slips.

During his tour, Trump was welcomed by UAE officials, including Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, the Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence. Trump met with religious leaders and was shown around the holy sites. 

But unfortunately, that message was drowned out by the chatter about Trump’s walk.

This kind of distraction is not new. With Trump, important political events often get ignored because of how he acts, looks, or says. People have made fun of how he looks many times—sometimes in a fair way, sometimes in a mean way. But many critics say that when someone is in public office, their health really matters. It’s not just gossip.
