Alarming Video Shows Trump Slurring And Stumbling Over Words and People Are Starting to Worry
Donald Trump took questions from reporters on the White House lawn on Wednesday morning, and then gave a speech to the 75th annual AMVETS convention in Louisville, Kentucky, later in the day. But video from the two public events shows Trump slurring and unable to pronounce very common words.
In his speech in Louisville, Trump announced that he was instructing his administration to permanently forgive student loan debt held by disabled veterans. Which, obviously is a great thing.
However, Trump’s speech worried many, because on three notable instances Trump was not able to correctly pronounce words. And these aren’t fancy SAT words, the words were “armed forces,” “applicable,” and “obstacles.”
Take a look:

Trump also claimed on Wednesday, “I am the chosen one”, just hours after endorsing the notion he is “the second coming.”
But that was far from all that happened on Hump Day!
At the event in Louisville, Kentucky, Trump singled out for praise WWII veteran and Medal of Honor recipient Woody Williams, and then “joked” that he wanted to give himself the Medal of Honor.
“That was a big day, Medal of Honor. Nothing like the Medal of Honor,” he continued. “I wanted one, but they told me I don’t qualify, Woody. I said, ‘Can I give it to myself anyway?’ They said, ‘I don’t think that’s a good idea.’”
Trump avoided military experience during the Vietnam War by claiming bone spurs in his feet.
Twitter is very worried about our Commander-in-Chief:
Having had both grandfathers suffer with extreme dementia and watching how it overtook them piece by piece I can tell you I see ALL the signs I did with them and then some. It is a toxic mix w his malignant narcissism & pathological lying. He’s not well and its rapidly worsening.

His mind is deteriorating at a rapid rate. Any normal, caring family would've admitted him to a home by now.

Donald Trump is clearly unwell and it’s frankly bizarre we avoid talking about it. https://t.co/HiTP8qQ595
