This is the best summary I could come up with:
A video that appears to show Donald Trump slurring his words at a rally in Rochester, New Hampshire, on Sunday is stoking concern among social media users.
The five-second clip was shared on X, formerly Twitter, by the Biden-Harris HQ account, which is run by Joe Biden’s re-election campaign.
In the footage, taken from conservative outlet Right Side Broadcasting Network, Trump comments: “You don’t have to be a total genius, remain in Mexico, until you’ve…” at which point he becomes unintelligible for the final two seconds.
Republicans have focused heavily on the health and mental acumen of Joe Biden, with several arguing the 81-year-old doesn’t have the stamina for another four years in the White House.
The video from the Biden-Harris HQ was reshared on X by the ‘Biden’s Wins’ account, which has over 306,000 followers and added: "BREAKING: Donald Trump is slurring his words.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Sunday dropped out of the Republican leadership race and endorsed Trump, while claiming his main rival Nikki Haley represents “warmed over corporatism.”
The original article contains 621 words, the summary contains 172 words. Saved 72%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Sounds like Aphasia, maybe the 2 brain cells collided and caused a stroke.

But I’m not an expert, it would have been nice to have the rest of the speech.
Trump’s picture has been my mnemonic for dysarthria which is a bit more of a precise term for what we’re talking about.
There’s also the possibility of tertiary syphilis.
And of course now we have the pic of the hands last week. He even bragged about STDs being his “own personal Vietnam” at one point, so maybe he lost that war too.
Tertiary syphilis used to be kind of a joking long shot, but he’s filling out those chances with his reality more and more every day.
Trump is clearly a moron with some kind of clinical brain dysfunction, but this is just like 2 seconds of fumbling with words, which pretty much anyone who does public speaking can do. I was expecting more than like 2 second’s worth based on how big a deal the story sounded like.
IDK, maybe Newsweek is trying to run cover for him by running a big non-story about something innocuous to distract from the Nikki Haley / Nancy Pelosi thing.
I really don’t understand Newsweek.
Right, it’s one or two words he fumbles. His cognitive decline has been observed since 2016, nothing new here.
The article first says the video “is stoking concern among social media users” which, if you ask me, is not something news worthy. But then it goes on to point out how this was re-posted by the Biden campaign. Which does seems a little more of interest than just a bunch of yahoos on twitter pointing fingers.
Newsweek seems to always have a bullshit story above the fold and something somewhat relevant below it.
The last time Newsweek reported on him 🙄
You have a twice-impeached president but focus on this?
Yeah. I’m becoming more and more convinced that Newsweek is blowing up non-stories about Trump to dilute genuine criticism of him by creating a “stupid criticism of Trump that has no merit” bucket in people’s minds.
You aren’t wrong about any of this, but let’s not forget that a split second “BYAAAAAH” (Howard Dean) can tank an entire presidential run if it gets media attention.
With that said, Trump has had dozens of these blunders over the years. It means nothing.
There’s a perpetual debate about which presidential candidate has the smallest amount of mental illness. The media is running with it. Every stumble, every mark, every labored breath is a sign they’re going to drop dead any second.
I mean they are both old as hell. I actually have been really pleased and surprised with what Biden’s done but he’s definitely old, and he doesn’t have Trump’s animating meanness energy to keep him sustained.
Your take seems the most plausible to me, especially considering the clip they link to is super super short and removes any context.
I immediately wondered why this was a story given that clip.
- Is Donald Trump secretly a cyborg with malfunctioning speech synthesis software?
- Could he have accidentally taken Valium instead of his daily multivitamins?
- Did someone place a curse on him using an ancient Mayan spell for turning people into slow-talking zombies?
- Was he subjected to some top-secret government mind control experiment gone wrong?
- Has he been possessed by the ghost of James Earl Jones?
- Did aliens kidnap him, replaced him with a clone whose vocal chords were damaged during birth?
- Did he take part in a hypnotherapy session to become a more relaxed version of himself?
- Does he have a severe case of sleep apnea only exhibited when speaking in public?
- Was he attempting to record a hilarious hidden track for his next presidential album?
- Were his vocal cords affected by a mishap while eating spicy food before the event?
- Is there a chance he’s suffering from a neurological disorder such as Parkinson’s Disease?
- Is it possible he’s now fluent in Klingon and we’re all misinterpreting his guttural growls?
- Could it be that he has a rare form of laryngitis caused by shouting too loudly over the years?
- Or perhaps, he’s being remotely controlled by a puppet master through voice commands?
This is not the best attack vector by any stretch.
Everyone knows Trump is borderline senile, including his supporters.
Similarly, everyone knows Joe Biden is borderline senile, including his supporters.
We’re in this together, I guess? Both parties seemingly happy to be led by fossils who each drift in and out of coherency.
It would be exceedingly hilarious, if it wasn’t sad because it’s the elderly, except it’s not sad either, because it’s some of the most powerful people on the entirety of this, the only planet we currently have:
It is fucking terrifying.
Bad batch of Colombian marching powder
He’s slurred his words, forgotten words, used the wrong words, acts like he’s on ketamine half of the time.
He might be too old to be president, guys.
The same people voting for this fossil are saying Biden is too old. Their willfully ignorant hypocrisy is mind-blowing. I honestly don’t get how one can reach this level of cognitive dissonance without being aware of it.
It would be hilarious if Trump just keeled over. Not only would his fans go nuts with insane theories but it would save the country a lot of trouble.
Arguably, it’s the best thing that could happen for this country right now, that’s also in the realm of possibility. Like, a meteor conveniently taking out the more corrupt half of the supreme Court would obviously be better, but not realistic.
I get a little bit excited every time there’s a Breaking News alert on my phone. Unfortunately the definition of breaking news is now such that it basically means someone retweeted something stupid.
He will suddenly become cured.
Human-unconscious-mind REQUIRES that he be dictator, to fight-off considered-reasoning, absolutely, from the US,
… so, some kind of “miracle” is likely to happen.
Consider this to be a kind of bet, rather than mere-nonsense.
Sometime in 2024, probably in the next-quarter ( Jan20-ish to Apr22-ish ) Trump’ll suddenly become competent-psychopath, instead of damaged-narcissist, as his primary psychology, and his followers will rejoice!!
His cuts on his hand, a few days ago, are related.
A simple “stroke” can edit-out the limiting-portion-of-his-brain, leaving just the effectiveness portion.
Sudden personality difference.
Due to my religion, I only bet nothings, now.
So, I’m betting every person who bets otherwise, a nothing, that this is going to happen.
( luckily, nothings don’t require postage, so we can bet as many of 'em as we want! : )
Even betting a nothing, however, is still a committing-of-karma, a registering-of-intent with Universe that is containing one.
Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen.

That video was too short for a diagnosis. Anyone got the rest?
Trump can elect himself to the Oval Nursing Home, if not the Oval Jail.
