Now while we'd have to wait for a diagnosis, I am not buying a mere "dry throat". I have seen this sudden slurring in old people before in my personal life, and it is a sign of a stroke.

Everything about how he speaks has changed in the last ten years. He was always awful but he used to make some sort of sense, now its just incoherent unthought through crap spewed out without filter. You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid. Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.
Not exactly news.
https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/05/...ain-health Quote:Health Web site STAT analyzed decades of Trump’s on-air interviews and spoke with psychologists, psychiatrists, and experts in cognitive assessment and neurolinguistics who've observed the ex-reality TV show host, and concluded that, at the very least, “there had been a deterioration” in Trump’s brain.

That Vanity Fair article is from last May. Which means they started putting it together in April or perhaps March. The asswipe had only been in office for a couple of months and was already scaring the shit out of health care professionals.
And along those lines: https://www.rawstory.com/2017/12/watch-t...lzheimers/ This is ONE SENTENCE, transcribed and printed out from a video. Quote:lex Leo of the Daily Beast transcribed one sentence Trump delivered at a campaign stop in South Carolina, a series of dead ends, unfinished thoughts and ramblings: WTF!!!
I pick up distinct traces of Rik speak, except with less emoticons.

The idea is to get people wincing and grinding their headmeat so hard and to no end that they just throw their hands in the air and say "Fuck it, whatever that guy says!" In that sense, you could see the presidents speech as a success, even if it's accidental. That might make it worse, in that he's an accidental facist icon. I prefer capable and intentional facists. They make better punching bags, since you don't have to feel bad about making fun of a demented moron, in their case. Scrotus is a third rate benito with broke brain syndrome. Maybe he lost his own personal vietnam.

Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I have seen sudden slurs that end up being diagnosed as a stroke. But sure, wouldn't surprise me if slurring was also a sign of dementia too. He does have some sort of health issue regardless. As narcissistic as he is, even given that, you'd think his circle would have given a shit enough to face him with it. But, nope, they all care about power.
Not trying to defend Darth Orange here, but I thought it was just loose dentures. Or am I missing other things?
