‘Clearly He’s Got Early Stages of Dementia’: Sweaty and Greasy Trump’s Slurred Speech at NH Event Has People Shocked

He has ZERO room to talk about Joe "stringing sentences together."

By

Appearing at a rally in Laconia, New Hampshire ahead of the state’s primary, Donald Trump once again had trouble speaking coherently. It’s not that he’s forgetting lines or anything — he has a teleprompter, after all.

No, it’s that he seems to jump ahead to words his brain isn’t ready to say yet, so he mispronounces them entirely.

In the video at the base of this article, you can see him struggling with the word “smallest,” which seems like a pretty, well, small word to struggle with.

He began by talking about the death penalty in a way that didn’t make sense to anyone until you realize he was talking about making dealing drugs a capital offense. It’s hard to imagine giving someone the electric chair over a gram of coke, but that’s apparently something Donald thinks about all the time. He is adamant in his speech that it must be implemented.

The barbs about age for both Trump and Biden just go back and forth. Republicans criticize Joe’s age and agility. Democrats point at Trump confusing two different people — like his rival in the primary Nikki Haley and his former nemesis in Congress Nancy Pelosi.

But it’s the slurring that worries people the most. See if you can make sense of this word salad from the NH rally:

“We have become a drug-infested, crime-ridden nation, which is incapable of solving even the “solllest”… smallest problem. The simplest of problems we can no longer solve. We can’t do anything. We are an institute in a powerful death penalty. We will put this on.

We have to bring in the death penalty if we want to stop the infestation of drugs coming into our country.”

After his previous most recent gaffe, mistaking Nikki Haley for Nancy Pelosi, the former UN Ambassador said that Trump “got confused.” Trump responded by challenging her to compare cognitive tests with him, a move we’re pretty sure he hasn’t really thought through.

He’s still awfully proud of his “person, woman, man, camera, TV” test, as it has come to be known. He still doesn’t seem to understand that it was a test to see if he had early onset dementia, telling everyone who will listen that the doctors said they’d never seen anyone perform as well on the test.

But then, he’s really just not that smart.

People had a lot to say:
