No problem!

It is the limitation of this medium.

Trump grew up in Jamaica,Queens so maybe his accent hails from there.

NYC has so many sub-areas, plus all of the immigration that has taken place over the last 125 year—part if its charm-—did result in a polyglot of accents.

I like when Trump puts his hand to the side of his head and goes-”Oh!”—fingers vertically—that is like a Jewish person saying “Oy,ve!” Cracks me up when he does that, we did that—the meaning being “Oh, you have no idea!”.

Speaking of NYC—did you see the front page of today’s NY Daily News? So nice of them to help Ted find his way out of the Bronx! LOL!

Yes, I'm afraid that it is...just writing something leaves out inflections, facial and body movements, etc.!

Yes, I do know where he grew up and I am assuming that that IS where his accent comes from.

What's funny about NYC accents is that they REALLY are also generational, so I wonder what his father sounded like.

My grandmother had a somewhat different accent than my mother and I have parts of both in mine. LOL

Trump has actually said "OY", sometimes, when he does that hands to face thing. I love it!

Yes, I saw the Daily New's front page and LOVE it! hehehehe
