Does Trump Wear Dentures? Viewers Question Trump’s Teeth During Elon Musk Interview
Trump’s teeth take center stage as viewers wonder if he’s wearing dentures or retainer during his interview with Elon Musk.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s much-anticipated interview with billionaire Elon Musk finally began on Monday evening on Musk’s social media platform, X, after a significant delay caused by technical issues that prevented many users from accessing the live stream.
The event, originally scheduled to start at 8:00 p.m. (0042 GMT Tuesday), began at 8:42 p.m.
Musk attributed the delay to a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack, a type of cyberattack that overwhelms a server or network with traffic to disrupt its operations, although this claim was not confirmed.
Despite the delay, over 1 million people were tuned in as the conversation commenced, according to a live counter on X.
As the interview progressed, several listeners on X noticed that Trump occasionally spoke with what sounded like a lisp.
Some remarked that this gave him a cartoonish quality, while others speculated that it might be due to audio compression issues.
A few even questioned whether Trump might be wearing dentures or retainer, suggesting that his speech sounded like his teeth were slipping.
“Def took his dentures out.” An X user said.
Another commented; ” OK, seriously there are two options. His dentures are falling out. Dude cannot pronounce words at all”.
In 2017, when questioned about Trump’s apparent verbal slip and speculation about him using a retainer or similar device, a White House spokesperson told Quartz that Trump was experiencing “dry mouth.” It remains unconfirmed whether the president wears dentures or any orthodontic appliance.
