One source, or maybe sources -- interesting that it’s not clear! -- with no hint that they’re doing anything more than guessing.

So no, no proof Trump is afraid of stairs. But a lot of people want to believe the worst about him, so they’ll skip past the proof part.

Now, you can say this is totally insignificant with everything else going on. I’d argue that caring about facts is all the more important.
