'More erratic by the day': Alarm raised over 'exhausted' Trump's latest bout of 'slurring'
As part of a "Morning Joe" discussion on Donald Trump's refusal to answer questions at a Pennsylvania town hall on Monday – instead playing music for 39 minutes while he stood on stage swaying – MSNBC host Joe Scarborough noted the former president had more problems speaking on Tuesday night.
Speaking with co-host Willie Geist, Scarborough said the former president's inability to get through a rally cleanly is a sign of his advanced age.

"He's slurring so many words," he began. "Even in his speech last night, I think it was 'insurrection,' just slurring through words. I know people get exhausted in a long campaign and I think that we are really seeing signs of a 78-year-old man who, obviously has been through a trial, been through an attempted assassination, going through the rigors of this campaign and, right now, he is becoming more erratic by the day."
"We have seen, you know, on Saturday nights when he gets exhausted, you know, end of weeks when he has been doing things, we see him start confusing Joe Biden with Barack Obama and World War II for World War III and making one mistake after another," he later added. "My best guess he figured this was the safest thing to do, that he wasn't feeling it. Again, just very strange."
