Guys, the president is not well.
Donald Trump doubled down on his criticism of “Parasite” as this year’s best picture winner at the Academy Awards, saying he prefers to see American-made films honored.
“This year we had a movie, they said ‘best movie’ — they announced the movie from South Korea. I said what’s that all about?” Trump said with a grin at a campaign rally Friday in Las Vegas.
“Parasite,” a class warfare satire directed by Bong Joon-ho, made history earlier this month as the first non-English language film to win the top prize at the Oscars in the award show’s 92-year run.
“Look, I get along great with South Korea,” Trump continued, “but I’ve never seen that movie before. They used to call it ‘best foreign movie.’ Now we do it that way.”
“I don’t get it,” he added. “But that’s what it used to be. And this is really an incredible time, I’ll tell you what, for our country. That’s why I like to see things that we do get honored.”

Trump then went into a crazy spiel about the media, and claimed the media wouldn’t cover a plane carrying 700 passengers crashing…unless Trump was on the plane.
"If an aeroplane goes down with 700 people, they don't cover it. If it's not Trump-related, they don't cover it" — get a lot of how megalomaniacal this guy is pic.twitter.com/eDrWpprU0N [3]

Then things got rough for Trump and he started to seriously slur his words.
This is VERY BAD:

Then Trump had the nerve to mock Joe Biden and the way he speaks. Remember, Biden has a stutter, something he is very open about.

Trump’s slurring of words isn’t anything new, in fact, he did it at last night’s rally as well:
Yikes. Trump has some real trouble with the word "statistics." pic.twitter.com/rKCvhHFlBk [9]

And he jerked and slurred during his rally two nights ago:
Trump looks enormous in Phoenix, his back/butt brace contraption sticking out. He waddles in & goes full dementia saying the SOTU was a week ago- it was over 2 wks ago. Time displacement is one of his many dementia symptoms. Now floundering trying to compare McSally to Mark Kelly
