Chump was spouting word salads back in the 90's, and maybe earlier. Just ask Tony Schwartz, the REAL author of "The Art of the Deal." Mr. Schwartz has revealed the ordeal he went through trying to write that book, when Chump could never focus long enough to answer any questions.
He's got the attention span of a 5-year-old. I'm sure it's worse now, but it was already evident 30 years ago.

But you can't skim audio.
Stroke? I am NOT a physician, but if this ain't stroke, then what?

Bags under the eyes say heart attack.
