You need to work on your suspicions.

Awww, the troll Trump Cultist🧌 has emerged from its long slumber to go harass the world with its stupidity.

I'm anti-Trump, too, but that was a good comeback...

So you fully pronounce the 't'? Bat-man. Interesting. I live in the Mid-Atlantic (or at least that's how the accent is called). But I've also lived in the deep south and the Pacific Northwest. All of those regions drop the pronunciation of the 't' in words like batman and badminton. In the latter word, it's common to hear people just say badmi'in, with a glottal stop. And no, i wasn't referring to non-rhotic accents like New Englanders have.

I live in the midwest and I fully pronounce my t in badminton and batman...just don't ask me to pronounce library

Midwestern accents have plenty of other influences involved as well. And the "library" vs "liberry" pronunciation isn't totally a midwestern thing. My wife, a native of Philadelphian, also pronounces it "liberry" and pronounces that spikey animal in the woods as "Pork-eee-pine". However, in true north-eastern style, words like "True" get an extra syllable "True-ah" or other things associated to the northeast like "coffee" becoming "cwahffee". Then there are the dialectic changes. Like I say y'all, whereas she says yuze. You might say submarine sandwich, but to her it's a hoagie. Sprinkles vs Jimmies. Soda vs Pop. You get it. English is not my native language, and these nuances exist in my tongue as well, and can actually be far more extreme. Take "excelente". In my hometown it's pronounced "eh-sell-EN-chee" but in Lisbon, it would be "shlaint", from 4 syllables to 1. Language is bonkers

I personally love listening to how others talk and pronounce words. Even from one city to the next. I may have to listen closer to understand but if we all sounded the same it would be boring.

I don't exactly drop it but it's more of a pause and less of a sound. It just sort of ends up tripping over itself if I try to enunciate the t. (I'm from the northwest)

Yep, that's called a glottal stop. It's not a sound, it's a pause. Like Bri'ish. Something even Americans do (though not all). In the New England area you also see that non-rhotic "R" you might find in England. Whereas in Western and Northern English counties, you actually find that the rhotic "R" is in use. I have seen in some parts of Cornwall and Wales where the "R" is almost over-pronounced. "He's from up Nahrrrth" they might say. Then in Scotland there are those who roll their "R's", particularly among older folks.
