Trump's speech at his Great American State Fair exposed signs of what a specialist is calling his "neurological decline."
In a recent video, Hilary Shae, a licensed speech-language pathologist, pointed out that Trump "couldn't say 250th anniversary" or the word magnificent. She shared clips that showed Trump stopping hard as those words came up.
"Difficulties that Donald Trump has with saying specific words are consistent with dysarthria and ataxia or apraxia," Shae said. "They can occur after a stroke. They can occur with other brain disorders and dementia."

What is this, a video about a video that's about a Tik Tok post that's about a Trump speech? Great "General Discussion" material.

Unfortunately.
