Really having a hard time speaking and needed the chair to remain standing. I think at anytime he could stroke out.

Bullcrap, I say.

(25,241 posts)it's almost like they give him some drugs to keep him controlled. There is a major difference in his speech when he gets in campaign mode and goes off on tangents.
I think they drug him for these written speeches to slow down his mind so he doesn't go off script.
Not his "normal" self during these controlled speeches. He even has trouble reading the script, as though this is the first time he has seen it.

One can hope.

MrModerate
(9,753 posts)Isn't required to be a Member of the House, how about majority Dems select Hillary Clinton as their Speaker . . . and then the rest of your scenario plays out.

(16,423 posts)If you turn the sound off and focus on his mouth, you can see how the dentures on his lower jaw are almost slipping out twice.
EDIT:
I hereby want to correct my previous statement. Donald Trump is a young and healthy stallion and still has all of his teeth and he has the best teeth ever. Please let my family go.

He is repulsive.

(7,142 posts)that stated he got that enamel process done. Since he knew more than the dentist, he always picked out the whitest color, the dentist never gave him the color he chose but Trump was happy when he left.
I am ignorant about this procedure but I'm told it is supposed to be good for up to 10 years. The article said that Trump insisted on getting this procedure done every 6 months. Well I guess when the dentist takes off the old enamel part of the tooth comes with it so Trump basically ruined his good teeth.
The person who wrote the article wondered if this is true why didn't Trump get implants instead of dentures.
Maybe there's a dentist out there who can explain this better than I did.

And implants can be quite painful. I can attest to that fact.

(611 posts)...get his morning cofveve. But lets be honest, guy is in his 70s, never exercises, eats like a pig. Probably 75 pounds overweight. That all catches up at some point, maybe that is what is happening. Or maybe his dentures are flopping around.
