Donald Trump sniffs and slurs his way through lifeless, confused, incoherent Iran speech

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Donald Trump took a pass on the opportunity to give a televised speech last night about the Iran situation, and now we know why: he’s so far gone, physically and cognitively, he can barely even function during the middle of the day. Trump finally gave his speech today, and let’s just say you’re lucky if you missed the debacle.

During his speech today, Donald Trump sounded like he was half alive at best. He was routinely slurring his words. He sounded out of breath. He was mispronouncing words. Apparently “tolerided” is a thing now. He was sniffing so much, let’s just say that the word “Adderall” was trending on Twitter during his speech. The guy couldn’t have sounded any more out of it if he’d tried.

Trump told a number of bizarre lies during his rambling speech, including the claim that ISIS is now 100% defeated. Wait, didn’t Trump say he reached this goal last year? Apparently he’s just reached it again, in his deluded mind. He also announced that the U.S. has hypersonic missiles, which appeared to have been classified information – prompting one of the Generals standing next to him to briefly shoot a horrified look in Trump’s direction.

Keep in mind that this was Donald Trump doing his best to get through a speech that was in front of him on a teleprompter. All he had to do was stand there for a few minutes and read words aloud without screwing it up. He totally screwed it up. Even if this guy weren’t a psychotic criminal monster, he’s clearly too far gone in the cognitive department to be anywhere near the Oval Office. Time for the 25th Amendment.
