TSF's voice

It’s husky, lower, gravely.

Whatever else he has, I believe there’s involvement with his lungs.

And this is ominous

Not sure I believe him though

Q: “Your voice sounds a little rough. Are you feeling alright?”

President Trump: “I feel great. I was shouting at people because they were stupid about something having to do with trade and a country, and I straightened it out, but I blew my stack at these people.”

I noticed the hoarse voice, too. From my own experience, it takes sporting event level yelling to get that hoarse.

which can explain all his intermittent progressive cognitive, language, gait, facial, and classical dementia symptoms (sundowning, confusion, aggressive/misplaced anger, and others), but likewise throat/speaking difficulties, including hoarseness. Hoarseness can be a symptom of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) because the disease can affect the muscles involved in speech, leading to difficulties in motor control for speech (apraxia of speech) and general muscle weakness.

So, yeah, no doubt that he is receiving MRIs to monitor progression, and he is likely receiving some experimental drugs to slow the FTD progression (if I and others are correct). Several of these involve frequent intravenous injections (perhaps explaining the constant bruising of his hand).

It's nothing to worry about. Nothing to see here.
