‘GRAB ME, SIR’: Trump Explains his Infamous Unsteady Walk

US President Donald Trump has explained his infamous slow walk from the stage at West Point in which he appeared unsteady – prompting scrutiny of his health – saying he took “little steps” to avoid falling down the steel ramp in leather shoes “with the fake news watching”.

“I said general, I’ve got myself a problem, general, because I’m wearing leather-bottom shoes, which is good if you’re walking on flat surfaces; it’s not good for ramps,” Mr Trump said.

“This was a steel ramp, it had no handrail, it was like an ice-skating rink.

“I said, general, there’s no way I can make it down that ramp without falling on my ass.”

Mr Trump said falling would have been a “disaster” but given the response to his walk he would’ve been better off “falling and sliding down the damn ramp”.
