Trump was clearly medicated, and it affected his breathing... slurring... odd pauses

probably where one of three teleprompters wrapped to the next line of text. Very short phrases between breaths.

It was like watching William Shatner on sedatives and giving a lecture during an asthma atttack.

They can’t risk him going off the rails and turning it into a campaign rally style speech where he just completely loses it.

My mother who had COPD breathed like that with very little exertion. I think he has health issues related to his age and being over weight and physically inactive.
