Trump debunks media hoax about interview with Musk

August 14, 2024 | | Print Article

With President Biden having been shelved due to serious concerns about his mental acuity, Democrats are employing an interesting strategy, which is to question former President Donald Trump’s cognitive abilities.

That’s right, the same cabal that cried foul when anyone suggested Biden had applesauce for brains due to his advancing age is doing the same thing, as seen in their desperate response to Trump’s nearly two-hour-long off-the-cuff X Spaces discussion with owner Elon Musk, who later noted the event reached around a billion people.

The legacy media responded with a “wall of negative headlines,” as Musk characterized coverage of the event, but there was an emphasis on Trump’s speech or “lisp,” as many outlets noted.

Naturally, MSNBC took it even further, reporting that Trump’s speech was “extremely slurred.” But the Harrisburg Patriot-News topped that with the blaring headline, “Donald Trump’s speech during Musk interview sparks health concerns.”

“Donald Trump had his lengthy conversation with Elon Musk on X on Monday, and one thing that could not be missed through it all was the former president’s slurred speech. Trump often sounded as though he was speaking with a heavy lisp or slurring his words, and that had social media stirring,” the paper reported.

The Harris Campaign wasted no time getting in on the act, propping up MSNBNC’s reporting — almost as if planned ahead of time.

The pro-Kamala Harris X account “Kamala’s Wins” was also quick to perpetuate the curious claim, as seen here:

However, audio shared from within the room where Trump participated in the discussion proved that it was just a ruse; yet another hoax designed to harm Donald Trump from the same cabal that created the myth of Russian collusion out of whole cloth:

In the end, all the noise creates a nice distraction from the fact that Kamala Harris has still not done a single interview since being installed as the Democratic nominee and that you can count on one hand the number of questions she has taken from the media — which is even more curious, given how they are fawning over her.

Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:
