Donald Trump’s tweet on Sunday claiming that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) “teeth were falling out” sparked some vicious payback. Many observers wondered about the president’s own teeth, his habit of sniffing while speaking and his large number of slurred words.
Trump was responding to a tweet posted on Thursday by Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) concerning Pelosi’s explanation for why bribery wasn’t one of the articles of impeachment against Trump:
But Trump had a different theory:
Many people on Twitter saw Trump’s dig as pure “projection.” They were only too happy to point out his many slurred or mangled words while speaking, including referring to the stock market as the “sock rocket,” the United States as the “United Shtates” and Jerusalem as “Jeruz.” “The Daily Show” host Trevor Noah launched the “Denture Donald” hashtag on Twitter and it picked up steam on Sunday.
Funny- as you slur your words so frequently, many of us wonder if YOUR teeth keep falling out

Translation: “My teeth fall out of my mouth a lot, and I don’t think.”

Her speech seemed fine to the rest of us. What an odd thing for you to say, though.
Perhaps you understand what happens when the mouth dries out and can’t hold a prosthesis in place to form the ‘S’ sound.
God blesh the United Shtatesh, Misher Preshident.

The President is throwing schoolyard insults at other adults in government. This is where we are at around 520 pm on a sleepy American Sunday in December 2019.

I’d be careful there Mr. United Shtates.
