Trump sure seemed like he had a lisp in the Musk space on August 12th, why?
An option resolves YES if a credible source like NYT or WaPo reports that it was a possible cause of Trump’s lisp (e.g. “sources close to the president note he was heavily inebriated at the time” would (most likely) resolve alcohol YES). I will resolve all remaining options NO at the end of the year. Since this could be pretty subjective, I won’t bet in this market.
Feel free to add your own answers! I may resolve answers N/A (idk why I’d do that, but might as well reserce the right) or edit them for clarity (while notifying the person who submitted them)
A credible source is one marked reliable (green) on Wikipedia’s list of perennial sources.

Just curious, anyone see any qualifying pieces? I mostly pay attention to the NYT, so it’s very possible I missed something (I only read the NYT’s piece about the interview, which called it rambling, but didn’t mention the apparent lisp).
I’ll prolly more actively search closer to the closing date, but happy to resolve answers YES earlier if told about them
Not sure if this counts a a qualifying piece, but it does link to a supposedly higher-quality recording, from which you might be able to conclude whether it was just an audio issue.

That source does not count since The Daily Beast is yellow on Wikipedia’s list of perennial sources. If it was in the green, it would resolve audio issues as YES.
My resolution criteria might come back to bite me, since if it was indeed just mic/audio/tech issues, perhaps a reliable source is less likely to cover it?
@JoshuaB Pretty sure I saw/heard referenced a video that showed him talking in the space and he also had a lisp there, so this should prolly be bet down?
