Trump struggles to read. Could be worse, we could have had a woman president.

The speech was nothing but a repackaging of all the looney things he's said over the past five weeks, all strung together in a mishmash of nonsense.

(Didn't watch the speech, just these few seconds, but) Trump does appear to be struggling for air.

Struggling to breath makes it sound like he's struggling to read. Of course, he may be struggling to read his teleprompter because he can't see the damn thing- he supposedly needs glasses, but flat out refuses to wear them because they make him look nerdy or stupid.
