In what may wind up being seen as the worst mistake ever made by a presidential candidate, failed one-term, twice-impeached, and multiply-indicted former president Donald Trump sat down Monday evening for a two-hour “interview” with Twitter CEO Elon Musk. But Trump would have done better if he’d stayed home and arranged his sock drawer.
The online discussion began with a series of technical glitches that delayed the program for nearly an hour, which should have served as a bad omen for Trump, who nevertheless agreed to stay and have an often rambling and incomprehensible chat with Musk, HuffPost notes.
Former President Donald Trump went on a two-hour tear of lies, exaggerations and fearmongering in a conversation Monday with billionaire Elon Musk on the X social media platform.
The chat between the two men, one the Republican nominee for president and the other the world’s richest man, is Trump’s latest effort to appeal to voters as Vice President Kamala Harris has continued to gain ground in the early days of her Democratic presidential bid. Musk, who has endorsed Trump, said the event was meant to let people “get a feel” for what the former president is like when he’s having a casual conversation.
What immediately caught the attention of many who listened to the interview was how often Trump slurred his words and repeatedly dropped the “s” at the end of words.
As a result of Trump’s trouble with speaking, many on social media couldn’t resist mocking the disgraced ex-president, with some even suggesting he sounded like the cartoon character Sylvester the Cat, who was always on the hunt for Tweety Bird.
