Clinical and forensic psychologist Dr. John Paul Garrison uploaded a video from his YouTube channel and explained that Donald Trump might be approaching a point where the president would find it challenging to maintain a consistently coherent public message. Dr. G played the president's Veterans Day speech clip and remarked,

"I really don't think he understands what he's saying. And did you notice that at the end there, it was almost like a switch flipped."

The doctor then replayed the section in which Trump's speech became noticeably faster. Dr. G said,

"The way that he sounded shifted so dramatically. It does make me wonder if that was the end of some kind of neurological event."

The forensic psychologist further said that people had previously heard him speaking with slurred words, but at one point he suddenly began speaking in a completely different manner, and his voice sounded noticeably different from before.

Dr. G played footage from Donald Trump's Veterans Day speech and said that he didn't believe the president fully understood what he was saying. He also referred to the end of the speech and pointed out that it seemed as though a switch had suddenly been flipped.

The doctor then replayed a section in which the U.S. President's speech became noticeably faster. Dr. G said that his delivery changed dramatically from one sentence to another and further added that it could have marked the end of some type of neurological event.

The psychologist mentioned that Trump is known for making exaggerated statements and said,

"So I actually don't think that he knows. I think that he is just saying whatever comes to mind. I think he actually has no idea."

Earlier in 2017, The New Yorker reported on a satirical explanation for the U.S. President's slurred speech during his announcement on Jerusalem. The New Yorker's satirical column imagined the White House claiming that the speech issue was caused by 'low-battery problems' in a remote control supposedly operated by the Russian President Vladimir Putin. The then-White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders remarked,

"In the course of those appearances, President Putin’s remote can drain its battery very quickly."

She added,

"Sometimes President Putin has tried to operate President Trump’s thumbs and there has been the same low-battery issue. This has resulted in random capital letters, misspellings, and, in some cases, gibberish."

Sanders even criticized media speculation that the president's slurred speech was linked to denture issues or a problem with his brain. Continuing the satirical explanation, she said that the administration was working with technical support to fix the issue.

The White House announced that the U.S. President would undergo a routine physical examination at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in early 2018, as reported by The Washington Post. Media speculation regarding potential dental or health issues following a policy address was subsequently dismissed by Sanders, who attributed the president's symptoms to a dry throat.
