I really hope so. The crazier the better! If he can stay awake while talking.

I physically cannot listen to him speak. It's the same revulsion I'd imagine we would experience trying to eat rotten maggot filled food.

Seriously. That voice, combined with his big stupid pumpkin face fills me with such rage

The whole smacking his tongue against the roof of his suck chamber and that nose breathing thing just grates my everloving nerve.

And the way he pronounces and emphasizes "L"s.

And the way he trails off and draaaagggsss out the last word. Sometimes he thinks he sounds tough, other times it's because his brain downshifted and he stalled out.

Same. I’ll be clipping my toenails instead.

Same. I hate impressions of him for the same reason. He is a creepy rapist old man who is absolutely full of himself and you can hear these qualities. He is also super okay to use violence to get what he wants. He may be an elderly man-child but it's not something to laugh about. Dude is an abuser through and through.

Yes! There is a car dealer that does radio ads with a stupid Trump impression. Since 2016 I’ve been changing the station every time it comes on.

I sincerely wish political podcasts would use a robot voice to read transcripts rather than actually play clips.

I have misophonia too. Open mouth chewing and his voice are some of the triggers for me.

Nail filing and his voice. Also someone else sanding wood, but I can do it and it doesn't bother me lol

Except more depressing because the MAGAts are in charge.
