I've been watching him in interviews over the past year and have wondered the same thing. Is it Parkinsons, tourettes, some other tic associated disorder? Mainly because I'm from Arizona and his behaviors also strongly correlate with methamphetamine use - which is actually the first thing that came to mind. However in trying to not stereotype, I've been searching for another reason for his erratic behavior and movements but haven't found anything confirmed only a few rumors.
