And I confess this is exactly what I thought of after seeing the options for names:

PS: if the original video hadn’t primed listeners by giving only two options, what would people have spontaneously answered? Kind of like giving only the two choices for the magic dress’s colors.

No clue./

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor

It ends with Trump, “I hear …”
(45 sec, listen; it’s funny)

By the way, in the tweet of the tests to others, sometimes I did hear Yanny, not my usual Laurel. Funny strange.

Some folks claim that I have significant high frequency loss, but I doubt that. Certainly no more than you would expect after decades around jet engines, and such. I hear my tinnitus just fine.
