Should we speculate? It would be wrong not to:

First symptom of dementia with a relative of mine.— LizzyF101 (@lizzyf101) July 28, 2020
He has foot drop, probable left cerebral stroke. Does weird things with his right arm too. I bet he usually wears a braceAFO...— Princess of Whales (@SmotherEinstein) July 28, 2020
This appears to be the residuals of a stroke. Hemiparesis causes muscle weakness in the legs, arms, hands. Which could explain inability to hold a cup.— Forever44 (@ForeverFor44) July 28, 2020
Strokes patients are more likely to suffer from dementia, hence the cognitive testing.

It’s called a circumduction,people do it when they can’t lift their leg high enough to gain the height for the swing forward,mostly bc the nervus peroneaus is not working properly,either bc a lack of blood circulation or a stroke.
Just guessing!
It’s called hemiplegic gait. He can’t clear his foot through a normal arc because he has a foot drop, so he circumducts his hip (swings around instead of through). Couple that with his right arm weakness (water glass), and it’s pretty clear he had a left-sided stroke.— Marc (@MarcBElliott) July 28, 2020
Let's see if the stellar Beltway media picks up on this and investigates fully. Nah, just kidding!
