In case you weren’t sure which kind of slurring he was doing…

He sounded like a disoriented, racist Daffy Duck

…it was BOTH!

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, I swear, but I think Trump had a minor stroke. That's exactly what it sounds like.

We'll see in future appearances, I guess.

Stroked out with rage that a black woman is beating him in the polls. He's desperate to say she isn't black because that soothes his racist ego a little.

It could also be the dementia from age, syphilis, and Adderall abuse.

Good. Give him all the rope he needs. As he continues to flounder I expect a hard R before October out of him.

That’s a pretty challenging word to say when your dentures are falling out.

Musk, meanwhile, has the interviewing skills of a stoned introvert.

Trying to imitate Rogan, I suppose?

He did little but cheerlead Trump and agree with every bizarro thing that fell out of his mouth, while occasionally going on the kind of odd right-wing tangents you’d expect from a man too rich to ever be told to pipe down.

You could say pretty much the same thing of Trump's speaking style, except older and totally incompetent.

Go you fucking racist shithead. Go hard. Go for the gold. Go right to hell.
