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 1 year ago

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

[–] Minarble@aussie.zone 19 points 1 year ago

He leaned in for a stroke and accidentally had one.

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.

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.”

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

[–] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

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

The laugh had just a hint of Goofy

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

The laugh I hear is more like this guy.

[–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

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

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

Trump sounds so uncharacteristically sycophantic here.

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year 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.

A bunch of egomaniac capitalist asses...

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Donald Duck

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

Sounds like Sylvester, acts like Wily E. Coyote.
