Uhhh, guys is President Trump ok? Ignore your immediate instinct to want to say “hell no he is not ok he is clearly a raging psychopath” and kindly watch the following video, in which our president gives his big speech solidifying his decision to name Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Did Trump slur the last part there? Sounded really weird.

The president is clearly slurring his words, and his final send-off — “God bless the United States” — sounds like he’s got a mouth full of peanut butter. It caused so much consternation that the White House announced Trump will undergo a physical exam early next year, the results of which will be made public.
Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders also brushed off concerns about the president’s health as “frankly, pretty ridiculous” and that “The President’s throat was dry, nothing more than that.” But the rest of us aren’t so sure.
Were Trump’s dentures coming unglued?
??Sooo this is interesting. Trump’s dentures are trying to escape his mouth as this speech is ending. Join the club dentures! Unbelievable. pic.twitter.com/QqYv7whxDF

It appears the Trump slur was a dental malfunction during the Jerusalem speech.
If you look closely you'll see something clear slip off his upper palate.#Trumpslurring— Frank Mankiewicz (@FrankMankiewicz) December 6, 2017
Was he on cocaine?
Nasally. Don't necessarily hear this as slurring, but rather, perhaps he's clenching his jaw as he speaks. Trump's speech intrigues me. Cocaine makes you clench your teeth. Just sayin' https://t.co/pOZd3L2Xyo

Trump the drug addict! Pills or coke make you slur like that, Trump and his buddy Bannon need rehab! https://t.co/hNjYUsN8KZ

Was he medicated?
Exactly! Trump didn't slur one or two words, he slurred every other word near the end of his speech. He also looked medicated. https://t.co/TFOLTtc8Wi

???FRIGHTENING!!! Watch Trump slur his words several times near the end of his speech, he seemed medicated and dazed. pic.twitter.com/aMftl5GTEw

OK, what narcotics is Trump on to make him slur so much? pic.twitter.com/6M4FsEynXF

Relax, guys! Trump didn’t slur his words because of dementia. He slurred his words because of the side effects of the medication he’s taking to mask his dementia.

Did President Trump slur his speech on cherrooozalemm? Of course he did, The question is, Are the drugs he's taking legal or illegal? (Valium vs coke) Or, How serious is the medical condition shown by his slurring? (Stroke vs Denture slippage) @realDonaldTrump

Was he drunk?
No joke, if Trump had not been drinking, some needs to get him to a hospital. It is not normal to slur words like that https://t.co/nsxioc8sWm

Would someone as rich as trump has been all his life have dentures? Doubtful. Vanity venneers, yes, but they don’t make you slur your speech. So what’s up, doc? Signed: The Unided Shashchshch.

Does he have dementia?
Trump's slur wasn't caused by a mini stroke or the use of alcohol. It was due to a "slow progression" of dementia. Dementia symptoms include slower brain functions, slow reading ability & vocabulary denigration.Alzheimer's disease explains #Trump 's close relationship w/ insanity

A rich guy isn’t going to purchase dentures, implants yes.Implants won’t make you slur your speech.
Trump is obviously is having health issues. Karma is a bitch isn’t it #DentureDonald— Resist (@tracye_nyc) December 7, 2017
Was he experiencing a mini stroke?
Either trump thinks he's the president of the United SCHUUUSTATES. Or he just had a stroke while making this speech. https://t.co/gAwFlZ99SL

Dysarthria can be caused by ministrokes, so not rare among elderly. But Trump seems to slur more when trying hard to read text written by others. So I'm not sure.

Remember when McCain was confused and acting weirdly during a committee hearing? A week later we found out he had a brain tumor. trump’s could be a stroke or dementia since he doesn’t drink and I doubt he has dentures.
— Jacki Moss (@JackiMoss1) December 6, 2017
Trump sounds like he's on the verge of a stroke. I'm not kidding. My father died of a massive stroke. I recognize the signs: Slurring, labored breathing, and mental confusion.

Some jumped at the opportunity to make jokes:
Hey look, a Trump slur that isn't racial! https://t.co/IcHkBFtlLL

Yesterday when I heard Trump and slur in the same sentence I automatically assumed he was being racist again and went on with my day. It took almost 24 hours for me to realize he was literally slurring his speech.

While others pointed out that this story is newsworthy, regardless of why the president is slurring his speech.
Trump should be removed from office. Reason gazillion.
CNN's Chief Medical Correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta,”There is clearly some abnormalities of his speech," he said. "You could call it slurring or just a little bit of difficulty forming the words." https://t.co/mMA52BmdbU— Amy Siskind (@Amy_Siskind) December 7, 2017
Besides, who has ever forgotten how to say “United States” because their mouth was dry?
