Slurred speech is indeed a sign of stroke known as dysarthria, caused by facial/tongue paralysis. Makes you sound like you just got back from the dentist and the Novocaine hasn't worn off yet, which is exactly what we have here.

Also, recall the emergency trip to Walter Reed.
Now recall his difficulty drinking water, where it looks like he uses one hand to stabilize and has to pay attention while aiming for his mouth.
Watch that right leg—he circumducts it from the hip to clear the floor rather than stepping forward. The most common cause of this in adults is stroke, in which case it's known as post-stroke hemiplegic gait.
Major risk factors for stroke include:

-High blood pressure, as brought on by poor diet
-Obesity
-Age (chances double every decade after 55 and Trump is 74)
