Both Hands

A small but potentially significant detail: at his recent West Point commencement address, a totally pointless stunt where we saw Donald Trump stumble through a lethargic speech, we also saw him using both hands to grab a glass of water. He has done it before, with glasses as well as bottles. Who does that? A person who has considerable motor problems, that's who. His increasingly weird body posture, his constant fidgeting, his strange gait and his bad balance tell a story of a person who is losing control of his body. But considering that he is also rapidly losing his mind, perhaps it's not surprising.
