Watch Slurring Trump Terribly Stutter Words During SOTU — ‘Stankuary … Direcderd Da December Desault’

Republican members of Congress chanted “four more years” as the impeached forever President Donald Trump stepped up to deliver his State of the Union address on Tuesday night, his last before the next election and a day before his likely acquittal in the Senate.

As House Speaker Nancy Pelosi introduced him, loud cheers and applause erupted among the jubilant Republican side, which led into the chant calling for a second Trump term after the November election.

Democrats branded the address a Trump rally. And it basically was.

During her introduction, Pelosi omitted the usual “I have the high privilege and distinct honor” words to present the president to Congress.

Moments earlier, Trump appeared to snub Pelosi’s offer of a handshake. Once his address concluded, Pelosi stood behind the president and tore up a paper copy of the speech.

During his State of the Union address, Trump claimed to have “shattered the mentality of American decline” and delivered Americans a “roaring economy.”

The president also railed against sanctuary cities for undocumented migrants and socialism, and awarded the conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

“In just three short years, we have shattered the mentality of American decline, and we have rejected the downsizing of America’s destiny,” Trump said.

“We have totally rejected the downsizing. We are moving forward at a pace that was unimaginable just a short time ago, and we are never, ever going back.”

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, tweeted that Trump’s address was “demagogic.”

Senator Chris Murphy, a Democrat from Connecticut, called Trump’s address “a disgrace.”

Senator Mark Warner, a Virginia Democrat, also characterized Trump’s State of the Union address as a political rally.

But the night wasn’t without the normal Trump gaffes.

About halfway into the speech, Trump started having difficulty with basic words, and starting slurring a bunch.

Just take a look at this:
