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.”
Is there audio or video of this?
I hate to be that guy, but I’m on mobile. Is there any accessible link to the actual audio?

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.
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)
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 best part was when he talked about all of the criminals coming here from Africa… to the criminal from South Africa
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.
That's OK, there is an implied "only the black criminals" on the end of that sentence for both of them.
Slurred speech? Are we sure he didn't have a stroke?
Fingers crossed.
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.
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…
I thought it was Alzheimer's? He's really quite old right? Many people are saying it
All the best people are saying it
“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 👏
