Wednesday

who's a speech-language pathologist specializing in neurological diseases and disorders, and she believes that his worsened slurping is a symptom of his (undeclared) dementia. The slurping starts to happen when a patient is losing their automatic swallow reflex, so they basically have to make the conscious choice to slurp the saliva to the back of their mouth in order to swallow it.

Semi-related: There's also another really good channel on YouTube, @epistemiccrisis, who talks about Trump's worsening condition. He's a physical therapist with a doctorate in his field with 15 years' experience dealing with the elderly and dementia patients and he's saying that the reason Trump appears to have been blowing up like a balloon these past couple of weeks mirrors his experience working with elderly patients experiencing congestive heart failure.
