“Your hearing is shit”: lisping, hair on the tongue… why Trump's voice has Internet users freaking out after his discussion with Musk ?

During the two-hour exchange between Elon Musk and Donald Trump on X this Monday, August 12, Donald Trump's voice surprised Internet users.

This is a detail that caught the attention of many listeners of the discussion between Donald Trump and Elon Musk on X this Monday, August 12. Indeed, during this exchange, the former American president surprised his listeners because of his difficulty in articulating.

The Republican candidate's voice indeed seemed different from usual. The American media outlet The Guardian even mentions a “slight lisp”. In some excerpts of this exchange between the two American billionaires, it is possible to distinguish a hair on Trump's tongue.

"Your Shitty Hearing"

Following this exchange, the White House correspondent for HuffPost US, S.V. Date, asked Donald Trump's campaign team to try to understand this surprising speech. But it was a surreal response that the latter received: “That must be your shitty hearing. Get your ears checked."

Some say this may be related to "audio compression issues" de X. Others also mention a poor quality microphone used by the former president. However, a video published on the social network by an employee of the platform has dismantled these theories. In this sequence, we see that the candidate for the November presidential election really does have a speech impediment.

Since then, the wildest theories have been flying around the web to explain this phenomenon. Some believe that this surprising voice is the result of dental work carried out before the interview, while others compare it to boxer Mike Tyson, who also has a hair on his tongue, recalls the Huffington Post.
