Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

He does it a lot, actually. I'm fairly convinced it's a sign that he has a disorder of some sort as discussed in this salon article from 2020.
Youtube video here. You can see he stands with the same kind of lean (starting about 0:30) and keeps wobbling the whole time. The wobble gets very pronounced after he walks up to the wreath (around the 2:15 mark). As for the arm movements described above, you can see some good examples starting after the 4:15 mark. There's also an earlier point at the 2:28 mark where you can see him suddenly clench his left hand on his right wrist as if to hold it in place.
I really think the man is not well and he is basically a puppet for the far-right and all those billionaires.
Couldn't happen to a worse person. Same as Reagan and his alzheimers. Old Nancy throated everyone around to keep Reagan. Don't think Melanie cares. Elon giving Vance fresh couches everyday I guess.
I just don't see any of this. I think he said and done so many horrible things. I think his only interest is in getting attention, regardless of what for, and regardless if his actions harm others and the US. It wouldn't surprise me if at age 78 he has some medical problems and dementia, but I don't see these subtle signs in the video.
