Well, the Pumpkin King is in the throes of more woes. Sociopath and fellow ego maniac Elon Musk interviewed Trump on X today, and it was by nearly every measure an unmitigated disaster for Trump.
For the moment I won't go into the contents of Trump's responses, which were so rambling and incoherent as to make AverageJoe sound like Winston Churchill by comparison. I'm just going to focus on what everyone else is focusing on: his persistent lisp throughout the entire interminable affair. It wasn't drunk speech, it was more like "just had a stroke" speech.
Of course, the lisp could be due to a lot of things, but few of them are very good things. He's slurred parts of speeches before, but never slurred his way through an entire 2-hour interview.
Here there is included a short video clip featuring some serious lisping, as well as another video featuring the whole interview as presented by some pathetic right-wing streaming channel called "Real America's Voice":

The hosts on that channel looked, well, like they were sitting on some habanero-hot jock rot as they listened to the whole painful thing.
Two men scratching each other's back.
One of them slurring.
Former President Trump said at a rally last weekend he had “no choice” but to change his tune on electric vehicles after Elon Musk’s endorsement of his presidential bid. “I’m for electric cars, I have to be because Elon endorsed me very strongly,” he told attendees.

And that’s Musk. I’m not even going to get into trump. He’s a has been. He’s fired!
@shavixmir saidThere is speculation that Trump took out his dentures for the audio-only interview.

Others say Musk slipped him some strong weed, which Musk himself has a reputation of taking before interviews. Well, let's just say that's not likely, but with Musk you never know. He's the kind of guy who, as a toddler, would be likely to knife his mother in the ankle just to use her body to get to the cookie jar.
@Soothfast saidOh good gweef. Give the man a bwake. He’th got a busy thedule, just got off a pwane, didn‘t get much sweep the night before, he wuth high on Trader Vic‘s MediNight. He just had a bad day, that‘s all. Thit happens, man.

Not much new, then.
@moonbus saidThat's absolutely hilarious.

Funny as fvqu.
So sad it's poignant though.
@happy-chappy saidI’m listening to the interview and thinking, „The Emperor‘s New Clothes“ — holy crap, why is no one saying „Hey, he‘s naked!“ ?
That's absolutely hilarious.

@Soothfast saidAnother theory being floated: a cheap microphone. That debate rages on in certain quarters of cyberspace.

Now, I guess it should be pointed out that Trump and Musk were not in the same room. Mango Mussolini was at Mar-a-Lardo doing the interview on a cell phone.
I don't know of any late-model cell phone that has a microphone that bad, though. So some say it's some kind of issue with the streaming audio on X's end.
In fact the mainstream press is, as usual, giving Trump a huge pass, and not talking about the impaired speech of Himself at all. Instead, everyone is buzzing about X's technical issues during the interview, which got started almost an hour late because X was having something of a meltdown.
So, everyone knows that Musk, being a moron, caused the best and brightest to flee when he took over Twitter and turned it into a proto-fascist cesspool. Nothing new there. Trump's impaired speech, on the other hand, needs to be seriously reported on.
This is all I could find in the New York Times about it, in the 4th paragraph of an article mostly obsessed with the technical glitches:
“I congratulate you,” Mr. Trump, who appeared to lisp at times, said to Mr. Musk about the livestream’s audience. “Do I get paid for this or what?”
The things Trump said in the interview also get a pass. He said he was "not concerned" with climate change, since it would open up new beachfront property. He also said he thinks planet Earth still has about 100 to 500 years left before its end.
Yep. Nothing alarming about that. Let's give him a pass and obsess more about Biden's debate performance.

@Mott-The-Hoople
What I am wondering is if Trump wins what job will YOU take in his dictatorship after your lips are supeglued to his ass?
