    Trump’s picture has been my mnemonic for dysarthria which is a bit more of a precise term for what we’re talking about.

          What’s wrong with him is not what I’m hopeful for. What I’m hopeful for is what Douglas Adams once suggested happened to the second-worst poet in the universe:

          his own major intestine, in a desperate attempt to save humanity, leapt straight up through his neck and throttled his brain.

      That might be more plausible, I’ve just seen Aphasia a few times, dysarthria is new to me, but it fits better with an earlier incident, where they claimed it was dry mouth.
