Did trump have a stroke?

He sounded like my grandmother after she had a stroke several years ago.

I was listening on the radio and couldn't see him. He sounded bad.

Can he be forced to get a physical at Walter Reed?

Mueller, hurry!!!

I've always thought he had some variation or degree of sundowners syndrome. He gets more incoherent as the day goes on. The stress he is under will break him. His diet is horrid and he has packed on the lbs since taking office. He gets zero exercise. Putin wants what he paid for and Mueller is in his way.

I know this post is from before today's speech - but something was up at the end of this speech.

It sounded like he was out of breath and super thirsty - but that can't really explain this.

His words were all slurred.

"God bless the Uniteg Shates"

It got worse and worse as he went along, and he wouldn't DARE grab a drink of water now. He had visible mucus in the corners of his mouth and his tongue was thickly coated. He kept running it around his teeth. By the last sentence he literally could not say "United States of America".

Might be age but I'm willing to bet it's meds related. It would be a miracle if someone his age and with his habits wasn't on a plethora of meds, whether he'd admit it or not.
