Trump spoke at the Governor’s Ball and what came out was either the sign of a man with a broken mind who can’t form thoughts, or Trump was having a stroke.

According to the official White House transcript as provided to PoliticusUSA, Trump said:
The governors — we’re going to have a lot of meetings tomorrow. We’re going to have some very important meetings. We’ll be talking about Parkland and the horrible event that took place last week.
I want to thank Governor Rick Scott of Florida. Rick, please stand up. You’re doing a great job. Really great job.
And that will be one of the subjects. And I think we’ll make that first on our list, because we have to end our country of what’s happening with respect to that subject. So we’ll be talking about that and many other things.
There is either something wrong with Trump physically, mentally, or he has gone beyond losing a step as the White House called it, and is having trouble putting basic thoughts in order. Trump seemed to forget what he was talking about, because he didn’t specifically mention the shooting. There was a possibility that Trump was afraid to mention the word gun, but he mentioned Parkland at CPAC without saying the word gun, and it didn’t sound like this.
Based on his leaked private schedule, Trump is never doing work as late as when he gave these remarks. It could be that Trump can’t handle not being in bed and watching Fox News by 6 PM. Trump could be so weak that he can’t handle even hosting a dinner between 7:30 and 8 PM. No matter what the reason was, something was clearly off with Trump as his remarks jumped around and contained precious few specifics as he spoke at the Governor’s Ball.
