The former president repeatedly misspoke during a speech on Wednesday.

Speaking in Long Island on Wednesday, Donald Trump was as bombastic and boastful as everā€”but also slurred his words on several occasions.

Trump stumbled over words like ā€œmigrantsā€ and ā€œRussiaā€ and had trouble stringing sentences together. In another instance, Trump said he was ā€œgreater even than Elvisā€ because unlike the King, he doesnā€™t have a guitarā€”a riff that has increasingly featured in his speeches.

    Trump also promoted his wife Melania Trumpā€™s new memoirā€”but admittedĀ that he hadnā€™t read it and that he doesnā€™t know what she wrote about him,Ā telling the crowd, ā€œIf she says bad things about me, Iā€™ll call you all up and Iā€™ll say, donā€™t buy it, get rid of it.ā€

    Yeah, he hasnā€™t read it.

      He very probably doesnā€™t read books at all. I wouldnā€™t be surprised if he hasnā€™t even read his own book.
