Hello Everybody,

It was a beautiful day. Blue skies. No rain. West Point cadets.
Tried to prank the prez by greasing the ramp. Didn't work, as The
Orange One easily slip-slided away ... without breaking his neck
in the process.

Most Agile President Ever

BRIDGEWATER, N.J. — President Trump late Saturday tried to explain his
slow and unsteady walk down a ramp at the U.S. Military Academy at West
Point, which had generated concern and mockery on social media, by
claiming the walkway was “very slippery” and that he was worried about falling.

The walk in question came at the conclusion of Saturday’s commencement exercises at West Point, where Trump was the guest speaker. As he
exited the raised platform by descending a ramp alongside Lt. Gen.
Darryl A. Williams, the academy’s superintendent, Trump was visibly
tentative and took short, careful steps.

Video of the moment was widely shared on social media, with critics of
the president — including Republican operatives working on the Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump group whose ads have provoked the president’s
ire — using the hashtag #TrumpIsNotWell in their tweets.

Elements of Trump’s explanation strained credulity. Trump’s claim that
the ramp had been “very slippery” was inconsistent with the weather,
which on Saturday in West Point, N.Y., was sunny and clear-skied. The
grass plain on which the commencement took place was dry.
