Now everyone--The Times and, sorry to say, MSNBC--is noting every missed syllable. The man has a stutter. I don't stutter but I am a mushmouth who speaks too fast and slurs words. I've had to overcome fear of public speaking. I have empathy for Biden. The press has empathy for no one (but Trump).

I have two post secondary degrees, completed residency training and a dual UCLA fellowship in Consultation-Liaison & Trauma & was expert consultant to oncology & transplant services there & to med systems thereafter. Today I mispronounced three medication words. US political press defile themselves.

Also, the million/billion/trillion mix up is probably one of the most common verbal stumbles for people speaking on economic matters

I keep looking for that recent clip where Trump spews total nonsense syllables at the end of one of his lines. It's as bas or worse than anything I've seen Biden do.

I _do_ stutter and I would like these "reporters" to fuck all the way off with this.

A month or so ago, several MSNBC hosts announced that they would play more of Trump's speeches specifically to highlight his inability to make sense. Funny how, after shoving that down our throats, they switch so easily to helping him succeed.

"He said billion not trillion" is such weak tea it legally counts as purified water.

JFC. I do this at least 5 times in every meeting I'm in. What are we doing here?

NYT has been doing this for a while. They faithfully quote full sentences including every “umm uhh” stutter or repetition from Biden then paraphrase Trump like “Trump states that the economy is “strong” and his next term will be “tremendous””. I haven’t seen a full quote from Trump in a long time

None of these jerks ever have to step up & perform? Because I can't be the only one who's had the experience of walking in fully prepped, bit tired maybe, and...then the words won't come, sentences get tangled, ideas chase their own tails. A bumbling fiasco - happens maybe once a semester. So what?

The guy also notes that he immediately corrected himself. If that’s literally the best they’ve got, give me a fucking break!

Just got off the phone with my BFF and she said "hi" to my husband and called him by name. I blanked for a couple seconds before I remembered her husband's name to reply in kind.

I really would like for that garbage post to haunt Mr Cameron for the rest of his natural life. And his ghost life too.

That isn’t even a stutter. Millions, billions, trillions whatever get mixed up all the time. I often say one and in my head I know that’s wrong and correct. It’s NBD. They are dumb numbers nobody can visualize anyway
