Is something wrong with trump's left arm?
I had seen something to that effect on a blog site but didn't think too much about it until I watched the turkey pardon (no sound, just watched).
He used to animate with both hands. Today, he only used his right hand. His left hand was pretty much locked on the podium. His hand did move, so it isn't profound, he just didn't seem to be using it much. When he was walking around, his left arm just kind of hung at his side, though he did clap for himself at the end with both hands. Again, it's not profound, but it is noticeable.

7. Wow, you're right. I refused to look at
it when it was on, but I looked up a video after you mentioned the arm. I would not have noticed that, but now that you point it out, it is very noticeable. It did just kinda hang there the whole time he was over with the turkeys.
I wonder if there’s some sort of bandage or port inserted related to the “scheduled trip” to Walter Reed that would cause discomfort to his arm and make him not move it around much. He was carrying something is his left arm in that short video of him going to Walter Reed, some people said it looked like something with tubes coming out of the top. |

40. At his Touch Me/Nazi Rallies,...
It could be the after math of a mild stroke if his left hand/arm is not functioning properly.
Truthfully at these Nazi Tallies I either turn it off, hit the mute button, or look the other way. We should pay closer attention during his Fascist Fest Nazi Rally and see if he masturbates himself on stage as quickly with his left hand as customarily does with his right. That would be a clear indication whether he may have indeed recently suffered a mild stroke. ********* What has AmeriKKKa come to,... that we are speaking of the pResident masturbating on stage in public. Well it might help his poll numbers and vastly increase his viewer count if he did. Reality TV pResidency. USA,.. USA,... USA. |

11. A long shot, I know. Arm pain after Catherization
Activities
• Do not lift more than 10 pounds for 1 week or until it has healed. • Do not golf, do carpentry, play tennis or other vigorous arm activity for 1 week. • Do not soak your wound in a bathtub, hot tub, or swimming pool for 1 week or until the site has healed. It is okay to wash your hands and shower. You can cook, type, clean, and drive, if able, the day after you go home. • Elevate your arm overnight and while resting for the first 2-3 days to prevent swelling of your hand. What to Expect • Mild soreness or tenderness at the site or forearm that may last 1 week. • Bruising at the site that may take 2-3 weeks to go away. • A small lump (dime to quarter size) which may last up to 6 weeks. From Caring for Yourself After Cardiac Catheterization/Arterial Angiography Brachial or Radial Artery https://www.uwhealth.org/healthfacts/cardiology/5691.pdf Just something I've been wondering about since his hospital visit. I don't even know how long it takes to receive this procedure, or whether it's something he could have had done in three - four hours. EDIT: Takes about 30 minutes. Radial artery cardiac catheterization Featured snippet from the web During the procedure, a healthcare provider inserts a long thin tube (catheter) through the radial artery. The radial artery is a blood vessel in the arm. ... The catheter might have a balloon attached to it. This catheter and balloon help open up blockages in your heart's arteries. |

54. Angioplasty
I had a cardiac stent insert last January and the technician inserted the catheter in my right wrist where you would feel for a pulse. It was nearly painless except for about half way through the 25 minute procedure when I started to feel some mild discomfort in the inside of my right elbow.
The technician did say that if the artery in the wrist was unavailable they would have to go "old school" and use a femoral artery in the groin. I'm glad they didn't have to do that! |

65. I had an angioplasty last year after a heart attack...
they went in via a ⅛" incision in my right wrist. 2 days later when they put in the stents (they didn't have the special one they needed on hand when they did the angio) they went in via the left wrist. They used a *very* mild sedative (I didn't notice anything different in how I felt) and I felt no discomfort at all during either of the procedures.
A year later and I can barely see the tiny scars on the wrists. |

66. I also had an angioplasty and stent placement
3 balloons, 2 stents, through the radial artery. Fortunately, no heart attack, just a horrible EKG. I was on twilight drugs and they got the dosage a little light. Felt the catheter going in. Also felt one of the inflations but didn’t have any pain. The pressure cuff they put on my wrist after the surgery was the most uncomfortable part. So no, most likely the problem wasn’t a cath/stent.

32. I believe he had a neurological event
the day they hauled him to the hospital with the Dr in tow. If he’d had a cardiac issue, they would not have let him walk to the car. It might not have been a full on stroke but possibly a mini stroke that caused some of what we are seeing and hearing. If he hasn’t played golf for a few weeks, something is definitely up with the MF.
ETA: Dude looks like crap in the video above...he’s puffy and a paler shade of orange than usual. |

41. My own speculation
based on the walk to the motorcade on his way to Walter Reed:
He was walking briskly. If he had had a stroke or heart attack, he would have been stooped and walking slowly. Also, his usual level of slurred speech and incoherence hasn't changed. That tells me that he was injured. I think that he had a fall and injured his something in or near his left arm. It could have been his collar bone or one of the arm joints. |

But he also seems to think he ran against Obama - though one can be delusional without having had a stroke.

70. I think he had a transient ischemic attack (TIA). Notice that yellow envelope tucked tightly
against his left side in the video of him walking to the car. Trump doesn't carry things. He has people for that. I think it was to disguise his inability to move the arm. Also, the missing tie? You need two hands to tie one.
A TIA is, or course, temporary, so he wouldn't suffer permanent paralysis from it. I had a TIA in July of 2005. My right arm flipped like a noodle when I tried to use it and I couldn't speak anything but floppy gibberish for a few minutes. Trying to dial a phone to get help was almost impossible. It's a ministroke, but because the blockage is temporary, the effects resolve themselves after a while. However, it is a warning sign that in the future you might face a big stroke. |

76. Flame Out?
Most young blokes think they are indestructible.
As they get older, they find out they are not. Freak out, get healthy in terms of food and body weight, get some exercise, as well as cutting down on alcohol and the ciggies, if they had those habits earlier in life. Trump is the sort of person who would go into full denial of his advancing years, his diet and weight are clear indications he thinks he is going to live forever. Neck minit . . . flame out? The big one? Don't bother calling the ambulance, call for a hearse instead? |
