Of course he did. These 2 fucking bozos are just the spider man meme at this point.

Why does Donald Trump sound like Daffy Duck?

[–] Fester@lemm.ee 45 points 11 months ago

Whenever he’s with Elon he leaves his dentures in the car.

[–] Minarble@aussie.zone 19 points 11 months ago

He leaned in for a stroke and accidentally had one.

I hate to correct you, but it was a 69 in this case

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Naw, everyone on Twitter, and everyone with a Tesla joined in.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Nah. Guy with a Tesla here. Fuck both of them with a dildo on a stick.

[–] MeetInPotatoes@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

If you're looking for a good stick, there are some pretty thorny plants out in the Sonoran desert.

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 30 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Wow. He legit sounds like Sylvester here. To make those sounds, put your tongue to the roof of your mouth and don't allow air to come out of the front part of your mouth. All the air should be pushed between your molars and escape around your mouth, slightly vibrating your cheeks.

[–] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 36 points 11 months ago (2 children)

He sounds like that for the whole twitter interview that he just did. When his campaign was asked about it a bit ago, I think they made the one of the worst responses possible:

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.”

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 38 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Wow. "Don't believe your own ears." How fascist of them.

[–] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 15 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Indeed. That was on an event broadcast live and recorded by many many people. Checking it takes like 3 seconds to hear the lisp

[–] uebquauntbez@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

Yeah, do NOT believe your own ears, use Musks new brain chip instead. So much better! /S

[–] AnActOfCreation@programming.dev 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's crazy! My most generous interpretation was that there was some sort of audio compession that was cutting off the S's. But to blame the listener is a classic move that shouldn't surprise me.

[–] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

However musk doesn't have the same sound which makes some bizarre audio compression artifacts less likely

[–] AnActOfCreation@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I reckon you're right, unless there was some additional audio equipement or network processing on Trump's side. But I think you're right that, at the very least, it wasn't something being done by the Twitter back-end.

[–] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

Photos of him doing the interview show him just using a phone which wouldn't support the idea of their being extra audio equipment

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The laugh had just a hint of Goofy

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

The laugh I hear is more like this guy.

[–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 24 points 11 months ago (2 children)

What a POS. How can people not see he would be bad for people?

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 30 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Oh, they do think he will be bad for people. They think he will harm people with different color skin. They want that to happen.

[–] Tyfud@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Correct. The right is no longer a party of policy, it's a party of hate. It's always been there, but now, there's nothing else left other than the hate.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

People think if you just praise and worship these billionaires that they will become rich as well. It’s because these idiots are almost all religious and raised in a church that teaches prosperity gospel.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago

"the Dr said I could jerk of whenever I want."

"No, he said you could have a stroke any time!"

[–] HowMany@lemmy.ml 10 points 11 months ago

A couple of nazis sucking each other's dicks and hoping they'll take over America and the world.

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Trump sounds so uncharacteristically sycophantic here.

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 0 points 11 months ago

I don't think it's "uncharacteristically". Most of the things I hear about him is kissing up to people he wants to be more like, like dictators, for example.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Head of the Teamsters Union just sitting there nodding along like the traitor he is I imagine.

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago

A bunch of egomaniac capitalist asses...

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Donald Duck

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 4 points 11 months ago

There's pretty much nothing that trump-anguish likes more than those he perceives as petty tyrants like himself.

[–] uebquauntbez@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Sounds like Sylvester, acts like Wily E. Coyote.
