Climbing stairs may seem more physically demanding than going down them, but descending actually places greater physical, visual, and neurological demands on the brain.
Trump’s cautious movements on stairs have become a recurring symbol of his stumbling administration. Videos have shown him repeatedly climbing—and especially descending—stairs with visible hesitation.
When the morbidly obese octogenarian descends the stairs from Air Force One, he moves slowly and deliberately, eyes fixed on each step. He pauses on a small landing to steady himself before continuing his precarious descent, one tiny hand gripping the bannister the entire way.
It is easy to see why descending stairs seems so daunting for Trump: he must rely on his swollen cankles to support his heavy frame while trusting his bruised and decomposing tiny hand to steady him on the way down.
It would not be surprising if Trump saw his pathetic and miserable life flash before his eyes every time, he walked down stairs.
