Problem, I don't think many of said staffers do as evidence by this brilliant response to a journalist asking about why trump suddenly had a lisp in this interview

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.”

The lisp was present throughout and takes like 2 seconds to find clips of it and hear it

That "lisp" sounded precisely like dentures sound when the adhesive wears off. Trump's teeth were coming loose and he was clamping down on the back of his mouth whenever he made an "S" sound so they didn't blow out of his mouth mid-sentence.

It is a well-known elderly person sound that even kids imitate when they are pretending to be elderly. I'm surprised it's not headline news. It was the weirdest and most comical part of the shit-show.

Fellas, is it gay to have ears?

Are you saying Trump went on Twitter and had a stroke?

Or that trump had already had a a stroke before he went on Twitter?

Trump has dentures and was unable to affix them in a convincing manner. He's old and bad at being old.

I thought rich people just got implants. I mean, I assumed they did anyway.

I am not a dentist but I assume those are expensive and dude is a cheapskate.

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I don’t know about that. In his own personal world he is anything but a cheapskate. When dealing with other people, yes. He has TACKY ass gold everywhere. He flaunts his wealth like no one else.

I mean, look at this tacky shit and tell me you think he’d get dentures. I’m surprised his teeth aren’t made of some rare mineral that the average person could dig up in 20 years and sell to live like a king.
