1. Good lord....I've overheard more phone calls than I can count

And I can count real high...he's got a voice like a klaxon, so I would suspect his hearing isn't what it once was.

2. Trump's booming voice could be easily heard on a cellphone

Especially if Sondland's phone is newer, the speaker can get pretty loud especially if Sondland had his volume turned up high.

Trump's deflection are getting more and more ridiculous.

6. And apparently Sonderland held the phone away from his ear because Trump was shouting so

loudly (and also, or mainly I bet, to proudly show off that he was chatting with the POTUS).

7. Your second point is spot-on

Sondland seems like the kind of shallow person who would brag that he was talking with Trump.

Keep in mind that Trump's voice is very distinctive so of course Sondland's dinner companions would recognize it.

5. "My hearing is, and has been, great."

Of COURSE, it’s your hearing, so therefore, it simply HAS to be great. And not just now. It’s ALWAYS been great!

45, how do you get through a day— any day— when every particle of your existence is so phenomenal?

I’d have to screw myself silly if I possessed the clarity to realize that I was so amazing. So, hear this, please: Go fuck yourself, toad!

I've overheard calls and also been on the receiving end of calls where I had to hold the phone a few inches from my head. To quote a line of dialogue from JFK, "He's picking gnatshit out of pepper."

My mom is in her 80s. When I talk to her I have to hold the phone away because she talks very loudly when she's not wearing her hearing aids. Likewise, she makes me scream back at her. trump is definitely in his elder years, even though he won't admit it. Hearing, eyesight, joints, teeth, etc. They all go eventually. And when his go, he lives in denial.

17. Mr. Trump is lying. Again.

He probably has never set foot in a call center and never witnessed nor heard the multitude of people who can be heard without speakerphone. Oh forget that... My aunt could always be heard on the other end of the phone without speakerphone and that was her normal phone voice...

18. Why even discuss this? He is a phony, a con, running scared and trying to be his own lawyer

Can't wait to see this SOB with clothes that match the color of his skin.
