I'm no Trump supporter but it's pretty clear that he was just rushing through the words cause they didn't matter. Didn't even seem like a slurring of words to me.
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!
That video was too short for a diagnosis. Anyone got the rest?
Really, just him still being an actual candidate raises more questions for me.
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.

I'm so glad Biden doesn't slur words yet. Biden 2024!
Biden should really have people focus on his team, not make it about himself.
Trump can elect himself to the Oval Nursing Home, if not the Oval Jail.
