Have you seen or heard this comment about Trump's voice?

He sounds very condescending all the time. I think Van Jones mentioned it once, but I can be mistaken. Also, I can be biased because I really dislike the man.

No, I haven’t noticed that. But now that you have mentioned it, I will listen more closely and see if I can detect it.

The one thing that I have noticed about Trump and the way he speaks is that whatever he says, the opposite is true,

I do not listen to him as an active choice. Thank you for doing it for me. While I cannot comment on his voice, I can tell you that his words and actions are those of a man with deep-seated psychological problems. Very deep.

I can not stand to hear him talk.

Not only do I find his voice an assault on my aural senses, but I’m having a hard time dealing with the impressions the news-satirists do of him as well.

Can we just decide to mute and subtitle all of his words from now on? It’ll have the added benefit of shutting out his illiterate fanboys entirely.

And yes, he does seem to have the opposite of the “Customer Service Voice” that people carry in public—two steps higher than normal and a bit saccharine.

I could give some adjectives about his voice, but false and phony aren’t among them.

Who?

I have never like the sound of Trump’s voice, it has always sounded strained and husky to me as if he was on the point of losing his voice completely. It is difficult to listen to and isn’t pleasant. I don’t trust the guy one bit but I think his voice at least is genuine. You might find this article interesting.

I relate it to his breathing. I could be wrong about this. I think it has to do with how full his lungs are, and how much air is pushing through his vocal chords.

My husband sometimes sounds to high pitched on the phone. Never like a woman, but it’s a stressed voice to me. I think when he is overthinking, or nervous, he doesn’t take as a deep a breath, and is part of the reason.

Back to Trump, it doesn’t bother me. His cadence and pitch doesn’t bother me. What he actually says bothers me.

Trump’s speech reminds me of playground boasting and taunts. I am always expecting him to say, Whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you. The closest I have seen him get to this is when he will tell an interviewer, I was elected president and you weren’t. His voice has no depth and is always defensive. It is indicative of a person with no shame, no character and no core values.

^^LOL. So true. He’s such a mess.

I certainly do hear a change in tone, more menacing and authoritarian than his normal speech pattern. Perhaps it is another one of his personalities, maybe even one that was once the dominant one that has been subverted for a few years now since the dementia took hold. We need to frustrate him in public a little more and see if we can bring it to the forefront again.
