Sorry to disappoint anyone who hasn’t watched the video yet, but it doesn’t look anything like what’s being implied by the description given by the Daily Beast or by Harris’ team. They make it sound like he had a mini stroke on stage or something, when it looks more like he was reading off a written speech someone made for him and tripped over a sentence that took him mildly by surprise. If anything it looks like the same Trump interrupting himself mid-sentence that we’ve seen for decades.

It’s not a great moment in speechmaking history, and it would be nice if he did step down for health reasons, but I didn’t see anything there that I haven’t seen hundreds of perfectly healthy people do when reading from a card.
