Sounds like Aphasia, maybe the 2 brain cells collided and caused a stroke.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphasia

But I'm not an expert, it would have been nice to have the rest of the speech.

Trump's picture has been my mnemonic for dysarthria which is a bit more of a precise term for what we're talking about.

There's also the possibility of tertiary syphilis.

Personally, I hope it’s a carnivorous brain worm.

What's wrong with him is not what I'm hopeful for. What I'm hopeful for is what Douglas Adams once suggested happened to the second-worst poet in the universe:

his own major intestine, in a desperate attempt to save humanity, leapt straight up through his neck and throttled his brain.

that starved a long time ago.

And of course now we have the pic of the hands last week. He even bragged about STDs being his "own personal Vietnam" at one point, so maybe he lost that war too.

Tertiary syphilis used to be kind of a joking long shot, but he's filling out those chances with his reality more and more every day.

I have no idea what that is but it implies primary and secondary syphilis…

That might be more plausible, I've just seen Aphasia a few times, dysarthria is new to me, but it fits better with an earlier incident, where they claimed it was dry mouth.
