President Donald Trump walking down a ramp (screengrab)
Commentators on Twitter worried about President Donald Trump's physical and mental health after video showed him struggling while descending a ramp following his graduation address at West Point.
"He minces down the ramp taking tiny baby steps and staring at his shoes, then pulls up big at the end, and blusters through the last step like he's Patton surveying a battlefield full of knocked out panzers," Mike Rochschild posted on Twitter.
