Does Donald Trump wear dentures?

[NurseJackie]

[madaboutharry]

1. Sure sounded like it.

[Glassunion]

53. Shur shounded like itsh.

FTFY...

[RandySF]

2. Pretty good chance at his age

[cwydro]

42. My mom died at 90 with all her own teeth.

No need for dentures with good dental hygiene.

[Initech]

45. Well think about his diet for a minute.

12 Diet Cokes, 4 Big Macs, 4 Filet O Fishes, no exercise, and no sleep. I'm guessing he does not have all of his original teeth intact.

[Iahotdog]

3. I've heard people sound like that after a mild stroke

[rickford66]

8. I think this is the most likely reason. My Dad sounded similar.

[Mendocino]

14. Trump has global aphasia from stroke

along with a litany of other problems.

[Zoonart]

27. Mine too, rick...

just went through all of this. The slurred speech. DIminishment of vocabulary and the constant redress of old slights. He ws angry and aggrieved all the time, uncertain on his feet and prone to jackknifing motions with his arms. it is all very clear to me that 45 has senile dementia.... not a doctor though.

I spent a lot of time on the telephone with dad during the last years of his decline and I could tell within 2 minutes what kind of a day he was having. That was as long as I could keep him engaged in current conversation before he defaulted to his old grievances..for 45... Hillary...Obama...crowd size, etc.

[dawg day]

51. Civil rights museum "speech"

Trump laboriously read the speech as if he didn't know what the words were, and then after said, as if congratulating himself, that those were "Big phrases. Big words."

I had to remember how my uncle, in his decline, lost his ability to read eventually.

[MattP]

4. Can't he buy implants?

[VOX]

62. Probably deathly afraid of the dentist.

Although I have some “dental hesitation” myself, I found a great dentist who “caters to cowards.”

And 45 being 45, his dental avoidance is likely about some extraordinarily weird take, like...implants would transmit radio signals, etc.

[ChubbyStar]

5. Trevor Noah thinks so

This is hilarious!

[BigmanPigman]

6. I looked at his bottom teeth on the video last night

and it reminded me of fake teeth I bought for Halloween. They seem to have come unglued and stick out a little like a dog who has an under bite or a black and white horror film from the silent era.

[dawg day]

54. But he's supposed to be rich

Why couldn't he afford better biters than that?

[C_U_L8R]

7. Do dentures give you the sniffs?

[NurseJackie]

17. I noticed that as well. Yes... that was VERY bizarre.

[VOX]

9. Pretty sure it was dry mouth from his daily cocktail of meds.

One look at that repugnant creature and you can see he's not a well man (duh, right?). I'll wager he's on multiple meds, for blood pressure, cholesterol, depression, and god-knows-what-else. Hopefully, there are some anti-psychotics in the mix, but if so, the dosage needs to be upped, mightily.

He also takes finasteride, originally intended to help reduced enlargment of the prostate, but often prescribed to promote hair growth. Not without a price, however. Beside lowering one's true PSA (prostate specific antigen) reading, thus masking a possible cancer marker, some men taking finasteride have reported inability to attain orgasm, painful erections, chronic depression, insomnia, brain fog, and suicidal thoughts -- just what is needed in an American president!

[Cicada]

59. Jud Apatow hears speech all day long, says definitely not dry mouth

He says his work makes him an expert in problems with speech and that he’s certain it’s not dry mouth. He says he has no idea what the problem is otherwise.

[VOX]

61. I read that Apatow piece later. Hes probably correct.

I subsequently gave the tape a few extra looks/listens.

To my ears and eyes now, it appears to be denture slippage. You can see him hold them back with his cheeks, lip and tongue. And that last whistling slurry-slurp is the classic whistle-that-happens-when-your-false-teeth come loose.

I’ve heard the entire sequence above repeatedly via a senior member of our family, who finally had enough and opted for implants.

All that said, it’s also pretty obvious that he’s got some serious, intractable borderline disorder and cognitive impairment. And that makes him a dangerous risk to the safety of all Americans, which is supposed to be any U.S. President’s number one priority.

[Bradshaw3]

10. If not then he's got splaining to do

Not that he would do it. If it's not dentures then something is seriously wrong - I mean in addition to the malignant narcissism, bigotry, sexual predation, etc.

[Wellstone ruled]

11. There is more going on with this.

Dentures will slip once in awhile or pop out of place which cause a speech issue. What I noticed was his Face turn Red and his jaw tightened up like a mini stroke with loss of breath. His body did a lurch and gasp of breath will slurring his last words. Notice he wheezed .

[L. Coyote]

12. People have a right to know.

"Theresh been absholutely no evidenshe of collushon." #DentureDonald

[oasis]

20. Lol

[LuckyCharms]

22. Spit out mah coffeh...

[jalan48]

39. That made my day.

[Historic NY]

13. His kids got crappy teeth...

maybe that's why he makes that insane anus opening with his mouth when he talks.

[MontanaMama]

15. Yes.

It explains the sniffing...when his denture slips, he sucks air through his nose the create suction to keep it in place. His poor eating habits could have contributed to him losing his natural teeth. At the end of the day, I guess it doesn't matter other than it is just another phony part of this pResident.

[pnwmom]

34. What contributed to his not getting implants, like everyone else with the means to do so? n/t

[MontanaMama]

35. I don't know...

However, if I had to guess, it would be his lack of education about anything and intellectual curiosity. You're correct that implants are the standard of care for tooth loss and my thought is that he would not have ignored that advice from an oral health professional because Dotard knows best and no one in his inner circle dares question him.

[Thor_MN]

36. If someone explained the process to him, and he actually paid attention..

He would have known that they make an incision to get to the jaw bone. They slice your gums open to expose the jawbone so they can drill an hole to accept the titanium bolt. I can see the germophobe pansy not being able to let someone do that.

I have two implanted crowns, done with just novocaine. I asked to see the giant breaker bar that he used to wrench the bolts in (I didn't watch) and instead of the 18 inch ratchet that I swore he used, it turned out to be a tiny, little box end wrench. Amazing the amount of torque that can be put on your jaw with a little 4" wrench...

[pnwmom]

37. Meh.

I'd had root canals. The implant, with just novacaine, was easier.

But, yeah, maybe he was a wimp.

[RandomAccess]

46. Sometimes people don't have enough bone for that

Peridontal disease errodes the bone. Too much, no chance of implants.

Or maybe he doesn't like the idea, like I don't like the idea of contacts -- putting something in my eyes.

[pnwmom]

48. But isn't periodontal disease something that good dental care can deal with?

[RandomAccess]

49. Of course

I'm not an expert, just offering a possible explanation.

Good dental care, good diet, good personal hygiene (brushing & flossing) -- who knows if The Donald did all that? Who knows how good his genetics are? Etc.

[dawg day]

55. Also, pre-flouride...

I'm younger than Trump, and have to say, many of us in that generation ended up with bad teeth-- lots of sugar early, mostly bottle-fed (more sugar again) rather than the breastfed, no flouride in the water or toothpaste in childhood.
My cousin was a dentist back then, and afterwards, he used to speak of the 60s as the "Golden Age" for dentists, because almost every kid needed dental care, and there were a whole lot of kids!

[TomSlick]

16. I'm miles out of my lane but....

If I saw a friend that age suddenly having that trouble speaking, I'd suspect at TIA and call 911.

[NurseJackie]

19. "TIA" DEFINED: Transient ischemic attack ... A brief stroke-like attack that, ...

A brief stroke-like attack that, despite resolving within minutes to hours, still requires immediate medical attention to distinguish from an actual stroke.

[Mendocino]

25. Next up for Trump

will be an ischemic stroke or the more serious hemorrhagic stroke.

[TomSlick]

33. So, NurseJackie

Am I not only out of my lane but also off the reservation? Might this have been a TIA - albeit a minor one?

[Vinca]

18. I doubt it. A person who could afford it would more likely have implants.

[Tracer]

21. I think you are right.

He is just too effing vain to wear dentures. Those teeth are either implants or caps.

[raccoon]

23. See my thread "wonder why Trump doesn't get implants? "

See my thread "wonder why Trump doesn't get implants ".

It's in GD. I'd give you a link but I'm on the phone and I don't know how to copy and paste the link on the phone.

[dawg day]

56. Then again, you think he'd pay for better hair too.

[doodsaq]

24. Well, he does his own hair...

...maybe he does his own dentures, too?

[japple]

26. He's so cheap he probably bought them at Teeth-R-Us.

n/t

[Vinca]

32. He'll probably claim he (and only he) can grow a third set of teeth.

[malaise]

28. I was speaking with a doctor who is a diabetes expert

He said the Con was in serious low blood sugar mode. He also thinks the Con has dementia.

[CountAllVotes]

29. YOU be the judge

[Initech]

47. !!!!!

[Motley13]

30. Fake hair, Fake teeth, FAKE president

[L. Coyote]

31. #DentureDonald SURE KNOWS WORDS

Link to tweet

[madville]

38. I don't really care

I know tons of people with dentures, are we making fun of them now?

[CreekDog]

41. only if they're jerks

funny, was just correcting your statement that it would take 12 months to fill John Conyers' seat.

thanks for your concern though.

[madville]

60. And then a couple of people corrected you :)

Funny, you didn't reply to my response in that thread because I said 4-6 months, 12 was nowhere in my post. You then compared California's jungle primary and run-off laws to Michigan's processes which was completely inaccurate (as the other posters corrected you on).

[CreekDog]

63. you were arguing with someone who thought 12 months was excessive

also, you didn't think 4-6 months was appropriate or you would have argued against the idea that it was 12 months was appropriate, instead you argue with people that think it's excessive.

don't play games with me.

TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for your POSTS and POSITIONS here or we will all say that you are ASHAMED of them.

[NurseJackie]

44. Oh brother! Nope... trying to find a reasonable explanation for his bizarre behavior.

I know tons of people with dentures, are we making fun of them now?

If he's a denture wearer, that would explain it... and my worry-level can remain at yellow or orange. If he's had a stroke and his faculties are impaired, then that would be cause for additional red-level concern.

PS: Guess what? We make fun of his HAIR too! I don't see posts scolding people for that! (You know... because you "know tons of people" with toupees?)

[KT2000]

57. making fun of tRump

which he deserves after mimicking a man with a disability for a laugh, ridiculing Rubio for drinking water on live TV, and ALL the hideous things he said about Hillary. What comes around goes around. We are obligated to mention his feet of clay IMHO.

[womanofthehills]

40. I love this one: Alex Jones says Trump is being covertly drugged - cause of slurring his words

Alex Jones, Roger Stone claim Donald Trump is being covertly drugged


The latest conspiracy theory from InfoWars host Alex Jones involves President Trump being slowly drugged with small doses of sedatives, and a former Trump campaign adviser claims the perpetrator could be the White House chief of staff.

“I’ve talked to people, multiple ones, and they believe that they are putting a slow sedative that they’re building up, that’s also addictive, in his Diet Cokes and in his iced tea, and that the president by 6 or 7 at night is basically slurring his words and is drugged,” Mr. Jones said near the start of his internet and radio broadcast Monday.

“I’ve talked to people that talk to the president now at 9 at night, he is slurring his words. And I’m going to leave it at that,” he added, citing unnamed “high-level sources.”

The topic was revived later in the broadcast, however, when Mr. Jones was joined by longtime political consultant Roger Stone, a former Trump adviser to Mr. Trump’s 2016 campaign and a frequent InfoWars guest and collaborator.

“Let’s be very clear: I have a source at The New York Times, a reporter who expressed to me a concern that in a conversation they had on the phone with the president that he was slurring his words. The president does not drink. The president certainly does not do drugs. The president is sharp as a tack,” Mr. Stone said.

[Initech]

43. I love how he says things like:

"I've talked to people, multiple ones..."

You have? Then name names or it didn't happen!

"High level sources..."

Uh, no, you didn't.

[madinmaryland]

58. "The pResident is sharp as a tack....

That has been pounded into the form of a dime"

[PCIntern]

50. Im a dentist and

It looks like he wears a pair of fixed reconstructions (crowns).

Then again....

[ginnyinWI]

52. he is horrible enough without thinking of his body.nt
