Did You Notice The Difference In Trump's Speech In Pensacola Versus....

his Jerusalem speech? I'm convinced that they drug him when he has a written speech he has to keep to script. His delivery is deliberate and slow. He slurs his words. Contrast that to this Pensacola stump speech.

It's almost like he's two different people. Go back and view some of his other 'stick to the script' speeches and you'll see the same behavior. I tell you - they drug him for scripted speeches.

or has some other kind of learning deficiency, like ADD. Given when he grew up and the way his parents are described, it's possible that such conditions would have been denied/ignored, rather than addressed.

They might give him medication to calm him down when he absolutely has to read something out loud, something he probably didn't do too often in his real estate business. That won't help dyslexia but if he is prone to becoming frustrated/agitated when he has to read, it might help with that.

Why wasn't this asshole in California looking into the damage from wildfires rather than campaigning?

I have not seen on word from him (it) about that disaster.
