  1. Saving you a click:

    > “Unfortunately, because of the complexity of modern day equipment, and cellphone technology, my voice was, in certain areas, somewhat different and strange. Therefore, we have put out an actual, and perfect, recording of the conversation. ENJOY!!!”

    Oh thank god that Mister Trump, Sir, put out the recording that is both Actual and Perfect!

    Brain damage combined with advanced age and dementia. Explains the JD Vance VP pick.

  4. Trump’s latest excuse for slurring his words during an interview with Elon Musk is laughable. Instead of owning up to the obvious signs of cognitive decline, he concocts a bizarre story to cover it up. This is just another example of how out of touch and incapable he is of admitting his flaws. It’s a tired routine—Trump deflects, distracts, and denies—but the cracks in his façade are becoming more apparent by the day. The real question is: how long will his base keep buying into these flimsy excuses?

    How hard is it to just say:

    “I’m working very hard traveling and campaigning and sometimes my voice gets a little tired and the words don’t come out the way I’d like them to”.

    Of course this is probably a lie but since when has that ever been a problem for the donald? He is so goddamn insecure he cant ever admit that even one thing about him is less than 1000% perfect. If anyone ever called him out for his courtroom farts he’d probably say Antifa put an odor releasing whoopy cushion under his chair.

    Then why didn’t Elon sound like Sylvester the Cat as well? If it was a technical problem?

  7. He had a stroke, and his campaign is concealing it. Hence the lack of campaign events.

    Ironic, because they were accusing Biden’s campaign of concealing his “condition.”

    It’s always projection with these people.

    Ive used Digital Signal Processing and Compression Technology on my Ham radio for decades now and not once during fine tuning did anyone I was having a conversation with ask if I was having a stroke or if my teeth fell out.

  9. Has anyone seen this recording he’s put out? Is it better in any way? Or is it just a lie?

  10. Right. Because if there’s one thing about modern day technology, it’s that it keeps getting shittier but only for specific people.

    I’ve heard that lisp before, it’s the sound a denture wearer makes when they’ve run out of Polygrip. He didn’t have his teeth in right.

  12. >“Unfortunately, because of the complexity of modern day equipment, and cellphone technology…”

    Ok Boomer.

  13. Well, looks like Karma is coming back to bite him in the ass.

    He was even mocked for the interview by some conservative commentators.

  14. I mean, the slurring probably makes the interview more listenable. You’d otherwise have to pay attention to content, which between two malignant narcissists like trump and elno, was mostly horse shit.

    Why can’t his team just be like “Mr. Trump had a minor dental procedure earlier today.”

    Even if not true, that would be a much better response.

    Makes me wonder if its some thing more serious.

    Everything with him is “perfect” and the “biggest”. I can’t fucking waiting until this cancerous piece of shit is dead and buried.

    This is a weird thing to say… especially since the campaign said it was our hearing that was the problem. 

  18. One thing that is frustrating is how the press gets bent by narrative. Had this been Biden, headlines in major newspapers would be how he sounded old and networks would run with armchair doctors analyzing what may be wrong. But I have seen nothing about his speech patterns from the major networks.

    That said, this is also why the gop has such an advantage- fox will force the issue to be covered for them when it is about Ds.

  19. These guys both own (supposedly) billion dollar social media companies and in 2024 they couldn’t figure out how to do live streaming audio.
