magnificent teeth of any person on earth. I bet he doesn't even have a filling.

Transient ischemic attack. Sort of a temporary stroke. Loose dentures sounds like a cover story. A pretty lame one.

(36,223 posts)7. Did you watch the video?
I hate to ask as it is harrowing. But if you did you will see it was his bottom dentures falling out.

maybe one feeds the other.... If he hits Adderall or similar when his ass is draggin' cuz of a couple low-level TIA's. I worked with an old drunk that had had a couple, and he hit the energy shots hard if he was draggin'.

(5,815 posts)12. I heard it live and realized something unusual was happening.
First, he misread the TelePrompTer (NOT unusual for tRump) and said possible and then added and possibilities. After that things started going down hill fast. There was something white in the corners of the inside of his mouth....very consistent with dry mouth. But his words sounded slurred and almost like a lisp. I even looked up at the tv because it was so noticeable. He signed the order ASAP and practically ran out of the room with Pence trailing behind him like a trained poodle. He never said another word once he finished the speech.
My husband said it sounded like an old person sounds who has loose dentures. I asked wouldnt he have implants, as vain as he is! But he said (and I agree) tRump is far too afraid to endure that. Big weenie! So I think the simple answer is a very dry mouth (again, he needed a big glass of water handy) and maybe a loose denture (lower plate).

Grammy23
(5,815 posts)17. Not sure about diseases, but some medications definitely
Will cause dry mouth. My MIL has dry mouth and they tell her it is due to some of her medications. I think Biotene is supposed to help. Comes in several forms... mouth wash, spray and melts, I think. Youd think tRumps crack doctor (I use the term loosely) would have suggested that to him.

With the leaks coming out of the White House right and left, bet somebody would do it.

(5,815 posts)19. Im thinking he has dragon breath that would knock a buzzard
Off of a sh*t wagon. No wonder he said he always keeps Tic Tacs handy.

(33,034 posts)16. I heard pieces of his speech on NPR, I thought a TIA.
But loose, poorly fitting dentures make sense too.
Grammy23
(5,815 posts)21. I know one thing.
When he finished the speech, he raced over to the signing table, scribble his name and beat a hasty retreat to the next room. Like his pants were on fire. Spoke not a word. If it was dry mouth, as many suspected, he probably chugged his water, making Rubio look like a girl sipping punch at a cotillion.
