The former president repeatedly misspoke during a speech on Wednesday.

Speaking in Long Island on Wednesday, Donald Trump was as bombastic and boastful as ever—but also slurred his words on several occasions.

Trump stumbled over words like “migrants” and “Russia” and had trouble stringing sentences together. In another instance, Trump said he was “greater even than Elvis” because unlike the King, he doesn’t have a guitar—a riff that has increasingly featured in his speeches.

        Unfortunately, this seems to already be happening. The inferno they’re making is the United States.

      His followers don’t matter, they are a lost cause.

      People who vote party lines or don’t really pay attention might be disuaded from voting for him if they are teminded often enough that his cognitive decline might be a reason to not vote for him. Mainly the unaffiliated voters who don’t think about things too much and Republicans who want competent evil candidates.

      The cognitive issues might be a dealbreaker for those voters.

        Republicans who want competent evil candidates.

        Pretty sure they see Donald as the useful idiot. They’ll vote for him no matter what, because his winning is the best chance to keep their dying party able to cheat its way into the next competent evil leader.
