Remarks by President Trump at Event Establishing the U.S. Space Command
Infrastructure & Technology
Issued on: August 29, 2019
IMO FWIW:
1 - Trying to read and stick to a historically(his posterity) important pre-written, structured statement from black font/handwriting on white paper in unfavorable lighting conditions at podium height.
Bright sunlight coming over shoulder, note side edge of podium, surface is partially in shadow.
2 - Having problems transitioning from looking down at podium then looking up at crowd, then back to podium to find his spot again on the page (eye focus). Seems to be using his fingers to follow text.
He is squinting when he looks up, trying to focus his eyes transitioning back and forth from close to far to close in those conditions.

3 - Optics. He can't leave country while Dorian threatens and appear aloof like the MSM painted Bush during Katrina.
4 - Disruption of schedule, a lot on his mind. What disrupts mil planning? Weather/timing/Hand of God.
5 - Unfortunate placement of podium. Somebody slipped up.
