Understand that ostensibly he is saying 'presidential timbre,' timbre meaning 'tone quality' in a musical sense. Usually it is pronounced 'tamber' though and words do have multiple meanings especially when mispronounced to sound like another word!
One of the definitions of Timbre is: Peculiar or Distinctive Character or Tone. I agree it is Comms, but I don't think it is a stretch to use the word like he has.
Yes. I don’t think we’ll ever get a clear answer from Trump on this (because it’s probably comms), but there is a good possibility that when Trump was saying “Chy na” years ago, he was referring to the cities in Ukraine, while we all thought he was referring to “China” and he just said it in a funny way.
It is a common mispronunciation. It's not right or left, lol! All kinds of people mispronounce it. I think it is just one of those words people see in print but rarely hear so it sticks in their head the way they hear it internally when they read.

Not a stretch but it is an incorrect (but not uncommon) pronunciation. He is using it to mean 'personal tone.'
I know "timbre" and I know how brilliantly POTUS uses comms...
Yep! Like Trump telling us the virus came from “Chyna”.
He's pronounced it that way before he ran for office
Because he knew about Chy na
When it came from Ukraine?

I know. I just looked it up again. My 1953 Webster dictionary shows the exact same pronunciation for timber as it does for timbre.!?
Tamber is the only way I've ever heard it pronounced
And only heard it used in a musical tone sense
Timbre is pronounced tam-ber
Right, but it is often mispronounced and clearly that is what he did there. The question is was it on purpose (a timber comm) or not.
Whoah, so I am totally wrong! Thank you for that obscure bit of info.
