The best part was when he talked about all of the criminals coming here from Africa… to the criminal from South Africa
That's OK, there is an implied "only the black criminals" on the end of that sentence for both of them.
and poor criminals
No shock that a Trump interview with an African-American would be a catastrophe.
You just know how he feels about - [ looks around ] - immigrants!
trump would never let an immigrant soo much as touch him. I bet not one ever has.

“Trump is slurring in a way I've never heard from him before,” remarked podcaster Susan Simpson. “Elon sounds like this is maybe the third or fourth time he's had a conversation with a fellow human.”
Oh, wow… that’s how you kill two birds with one cleverly-worded sentence.
Brava 👏
Don't worry, when reporters asked his campaign about a very easily provable fact on a live-broadcast and widely recorded event, they said this:
In an emailed response to an inquiry about the lisp from a Huffington Post reporter, the Trump campaign said, “Must be your s****y hearing. Get your ears checked.”
Stay classy, Trump Campaign.
They are absolutely losing their minds right now. Love to see it. (Thanks, Biden.) And no doubt getting screamed 24/7 at by Donnie. While he fails to do anything they advise him to. Also: "Iran hacked us!" Sure, lol.

They have this kind of toxic attitude and then act surprised when the lose an election. I can't stand people like this, just so obnoxious.

Slurred speech? Are we sure he didn't have a stroke?
I thought it was Alzheimer's? He's really quite old right? Many people are saying it
All the best people are saying it
He's also had a sudden drop in campaign appearances this last week. Like he only made a single campaign stop in Montana at a time when he really needs to be out everywhere
I genuinely think there's a good chance he did
I think he blew a gasket when the Supreme Court stopped giving him full immunity.
And when Biden stepped down, he had a temper tantrum about how Harris was now the opponent.

It sounded to me like maybe his dentures weren't all the way adhered, maybe some space in there was filling with spit. shudder
A day full of lying constantly can test the endurance of even the Extra Strengthiest of modern denture cremes and gels.
Dudes 78. I’m not gonna ride his ass for having dentures. But, cmon— at least do a refresh of the tooth glue before an interview like this. That’s just common sense… but, then again, look who we’re talking about here…

Accurate
The scheduled chat started 30 minutes late after Musk’s platform failed to launch a livestream, which Musk attributed to a “DDOS” attack. After the interview got underway, users were quick to point out that Trump didn’t sound as sharp as usual.
Sure thing, Lonnie. You were under DDOS. I believe that because it's not like your live chat with DeSantis was bogged down with tons of problems and this is a pattern. Fucking liar.
They probably just cut server costs to the bone to save money and they can't handle the load. Since their live streaming probably never gets traffic otherwise.

Trump was full of invective at the NABJ conference where he complained their technical incompetence delayed proceedings. Turns out the delay was because he objected to being fact checked and they nearly threw him out. (They should have thrown him out, but he showed his feces anyways)

Slurred speech is one sign of dementia.
Always correlated it with a stroke, but yeah could be many things. Stokes use the acronym "Fast" for quick recognition.
Face- Drooping/Sagging, muscular slack
Arms - hold up arms if one falls..
Speech - Slurring, inability to speak properly
Time - contact emergency services immediately, as that person doesn't have time

I hate to be that guy, but I’m on mobile. Is there any accessible link to the actual audio?
https://i.imgur.com/OgClywz.mp4
That link posted as another thread. Listed for it. It sounds like he's blowing air between his back teeth while he talks. I had to try hard to make that sound to figure out exactly what was going on.
Donny sounds like he forgot his fixodent at home and he's talking with a missing or ill-fitted denture
That is absolutely the sound!
The slurring is bad, but the content of the conversation is even worse.
Don't worry he said other horrible things outside that short clip too like claiming climate change sea level rise isn't an issue because it would make more beach front properties somehow. (I don't think he understands that raising sea levels generally cause beaches to get smaller and flood existing properties)
He also reiterated his plans to completely remove the department of education (also a policy point in project 2025, isn't it strange how he lines up with that)

Loose dentures.
Ahem... Loosh dentshursh.
Baseless speculation, but I wonder if Trump has upped anxiety meds since the assassination attempt
Jamming both uppers and downers at his age would just result in death.
Don't give me hope. Actually if he could wait until November 6, that'd be great. The day after losing would be so sweet.

New dentures could also be the issue (listens to some of stream) no, he sounds like an old man in a nursing home.
That's a recent photo? There's absolutely no scratch on his ear.
There wasn't one a couple days after either. Elon banned a reporter for pointing it out.
