Donald Trump falls to pieces with stumbling, slurring Iowa campaign rally speech
In the past several days since Donald Trump left the hospital, we’ve seen a pattern in which he’s so weak he can barely even walk up a flight of stairs, but then when he goes to give a campaign speech he’s suddenly full of energy and dancing around. Even if the bandages on the back of his hand weren’t a dead giveaway, it’s been clear that he’s been taking injections to keep him upright during his speeches.
But there’s only so long you can do that before you either build up a tolerance or your organs explode, and it appears Trump may have finally hit the end of his performance enhancement drug cycle today. During his speech in Iowa tonight, Trump seemed lifeless, stumbled his way through the speech, slurred some of his words, got strangely agitated over his necktie, and failed several times in a row to say “Burisma.”
So is Trump off the steroids now? Is he tapering down? Did he finally reach the point where even the most reckless of doctors had to cut him off? Keep an eye on Trump’s next few public appearances; if he really is tapering off performance enhancing drugs, he’ll continue to become more lethargic.
