Cognitive Decline? Trump Stutters, Stumbles During New York Rally

The former president repeatedly misspoke during a speech on Wednesday.

Speaking in Long Island on Wednesday, Donald Trump was as bombastic and boastful as ever—but also slurred his words on several occasions.

Trump stumbled over words like “migrants” and “Russia” and had trouble stringing sentences together. In another instance, Trump said he was “greater even than Elvis” because unlike the King, he doesn’t have a guitar—a riff that has increasingly featured in his speeches.

Unfortunately, this seems to already be happening. The inferno they're making is the United States.

His followers don't matter, they are a lost cause.

People who vote party lines or don't really pay attention might be disuaded from voting for him if they are teminded often enough that his cognitive decline might be a reason to not vote for him. Mainly the unaffiliated voters who don't think about things too much and Republicans who want competent evil candidates.

The cognitive issues might be a dealbreaker for those voters.

Republicans who want competent evil candidates.

Pretty sure they see Donald as the useful idiot. They’ll vote for him no matter what, because his winning is the best chance to keep their dying party able to cheat its way into the next competent evil leader.

Are we taking donations for kindling? I can canvas for such a noble cause.

He’s about the same shape of Elvis at the end

— also probably around the same amount of amphetamine usage

— the hair is vaguely similar

— there’s a fairly decent chance Trump could die while on the toilet like Elvis

However, Trump can’t sing, can’t play guitar and is the worst dancer since Karl Rove.

I just googled "Karl Rove dancing." I have regrets.

While he has always had incoherent rambling since 2016. It is getting worse over time. Instead of switching aubjects at the end of sentences, he is changing midsentence and having trouble with simple words.

He didn't have issues with saying 'migrant' 8 years ago, but that word is throwing him for a loop regularly now.

He's better at some times and not others, though. He wasn't this bad at the debates.

He kept saying that Biden must be in drugs to stay awake, it makes me wonder what kind of amphetamines Trump is taking.

I didn't watch the first debate, but he was absolutely having cognative issues at the one with Harris. He gets worse without interruptions.

He's like one of those impossible staircases that goes downhill forever.

He could take a dump on stage and they wouldn't care. As long as he hates the right people. I have a ton of "I'm voting for the felon" signs in my area. I was baffled that anyone a supported him openly after that shit show of a debate. I'd be embarrassed.

39

Spoiler alert: None of them are watching. All they get is the chosen sound bites.

22

They'd be stepping all over each other to get up on that stage and roll around in it before that dump even had a chance to cool.

I mean you could probably sneak a diaper under those jumpsuits and it's gotta be a pain to get out of.

That is like being baffled that someone remains religious after "reading the Bible". Everyone is reading from just a few select passages that suit them while ignoring what the rest say and imply about them and their religion.

"I'm the greatest of all time. Maybe greater even than Elvis . Because Elvis had a guitar. I don't have a guitar. Elvis had a guitar. I don't have the privilege of a guitar."

that's it. he has my vote. /s

I like that the premise of this was that he called up his wife to tell her that.

11

Yeah, it's dumb, but this isn't the thing to call him out on. The videos posted were just of his stupid ramblings that the audience clearly took as funny. Where's the slurred speech? Show me some clear indicators like the two-handed water drinking a while back.

He also said Bagram was in Alaska during his town hall Tuesday. This was news to our armed forces who served in Afghanistan.

Trump also promoted his wife Melania Trump’s new memoir—but admitted that he hadn’t read it and that he doesn’t know what she wrote about him, telling the crowd, “If she says bad things about me, I’ll call you all up and I’ll say, don’t buy it, get rid of it.”

Yeah, he hasn’t read it.

He very probably doesn't read books at all. I wouldn't be surprised if he hasn't even read his own book.

15

There's substantial evidence that Trump can't read, or at least not at a level expected of an adult professional

11

I really can't imagine Trump sitting in a chair, holding a book and quietly reading it.

Fucker's still got half the vote. Maybe we do deserve the punishment for being so stupid! History will repeat itself, and it looks like its happening soon.

23

It's propaganda. People that choose to consume corporate media (even us here) are often duped by propagandists, but Fox and Newsmax are among the absolute worst literally fabricating a false reality for their viewers so that they feel victimized by their opposition and see Trump as their savior...

It's so fucking gross.

Obligatory: I FUCKING HATE PROPAGANDISTS!

Its getting harder to have hope. Don't wanna be all doom and gloom, but this is absolutely nuts the guy has 50%.

Fear and being dumb are two different things. This person is experiencing fear and has every right to feel that way.

Some people react to fear with words, some hide it and some get violent. Some of us do all three. No reason to pick on people because they express their fears with honest words instead of some of the alternatives.

“ I attacked someone first by calling them dumb, you explained to me in a very reasonable tone why they might feel that way. I don’t like that. I blocked you. 🤡”

Wrinkled wretard should wrench himself off the grampaign trail and dodder back off to private life
