People Think Trump Has Dementia Because He Drank Water With Two Hands

President Trump delivered a major national security speech Monday. It can be summed up in two words: America first.

“Upon my inauguration, I announced that the United States would return to a simple principle: The first duty of our government is to serve its citizens, many of whom have been forgotten. But they are not forgotten any more. With every decision and every action, we are now putting America first,” he stated. “We are rebuilding our nation, our confidence, and our standing in the world. We have moved swiftly to confront our challenges, and we have confronted them head-on.”

We are once again investing in our defense – almost $700bn, a record, this coming year. We are demanding extraordinary strength, which will hopefully lead to long and extraordinary peace. We are giving our courageous military men and women the support they need and so dearly deserve.

We have withdrawn the United States from job-killing deals such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the very expensive and unfair Paris Climate Accord. And on our trip to Asia last month, I announced that we will no longer tolerate trading abuse.

We have established strict new vetting procedures to keep terrorists out of the United States, and our vetting is getting tougher each month.

To counter Iran and block its path to a nuclear weapon, I sanctioned the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps for its support of terrorism, and I declined to certify the Iran Deal to Congress.

Following my trip to the Middle East, the Gulf states and other Muslim-majority nations joined together to fight radical Islamist ideology and terrorist financing. We have dealt ISIS one devastating defeat after another. The coalition to defeat ISIS has now recaptured almost 100 percent of the land once held by these terrorists in Iraq and Syria. Great job. Great job. Really good. Thank you. Thank you. We have a great military. We’re now chasing them wherever they flee, and we will not let them into the United States.

In Afghanistan, our troops are no longer undermined by artificial timelines, and we no longer tell our enemies of our plans. We are beginning to see results on the battlefield. And we have made clear to Pakistan that while we desire continued partnership, we must see decisive action against terrorist groups operating on their territory. And we make massive payments every year to Pakistan. They have to help.

Our efforts to strengthen the NATO Alliance set the stage for significant increases in member contributions, with tens of billions of dollars more pouring in because I would not allow member states to be delinquent in the payment while we guarantee their safety and are willing to fight wars for them. We have made clear that countries that are immensely wealthy should reimburse the United States for the cost of defending them. This is a major departure from the past, but a fair and necessary one – necessary for our country, necessary for our taxpayer, necessary for our own thought process.

Our campaign of maximum pressure on the North Korean regime has resulted in the toughest-ever sanctions. We have united our allies in an unprecedented effort to isolate North Korea. However, there is much more work to do. America and its allies will take all necessary steps to achieve a denuclearisation and ensure that this regime cannot threaten the world. Thank you. This situation should have been taken care of long before I got into office, when it was much easier to handle. But it will be taken care of. We have no choice.

Trump also talked about how his administration is “liberating the American economy.”

“We have created more than two million jobs since the election. Unemployment is at a 17-year low. The stock market is at an all-time high and, just a little while ago, hit yet another all-time high – the 85th time since my election,” he said. “We have cut 22 regulations for every one new regulation, the most in the history of our country. We have unlocked America’s vast energy resources.”

Here’s the full speech.

There’s a ton of stuff to talk about, but of course, everyone’s focusing on the most insignificant part of his speech. Heck– it wasn’t even part of his speech. They’re talking about the way he drank water. That stole the show.

He held the cup with two hands, which obviously means he’s suffering from severe dementia!

I’m not kidding. People are saying that.

With today's speech, anyone can clearly see Trump's crumbling health

Slurring, sippy cup style water drinking, involuntary jerks & restricted eye mvmts on display-part of his dozen+ symptoms of Frontotemporal Dementia

It's degenerative, highly progressive & worsening every week

Someone's gonna have to explain to me how Trump drinking water with two hands isn't a sign of physical infirmity. Because it sure as hell seems like it is.

Others are just mocking him for drinking water like a kid.

I didn’t realize water bottle etiquette was a thing I needed to be aware of.

Why can’t Trump drink water like a normal person?? pic.twitter.com/AO9wByeNxh

Do you think they’d say the same of Hillary? Think it through. NEVER. She could literally faceplant on the podium and they’d be all, “It’s proof she works too hard for us! She’s selflessly depriving herself of sleep for US!” or something.

He also drank it with one hand during the speech, not that it matters.

I don’t think it’s a big deal that Trump drank water with two hands. I laughed at the wonderfully weird way he drank water during a speech last month.

Sure. It was awkward, but never once did I think, “Yep. This man is clearly suffering from DEMENTIA!!!!” Go ahead and laugh. Mock it. What do I care? I think it’s funny too. But for crying out loud, don’t try to turn it into a mental illness. GAWD.

If everyone could try to be a little less ridiculous, that’d be great. Thanks.
