Think artificial respiration would work? A CPAP?
Or sell it to Disney for Goofy to play:

First make sure it is not you or the mouthpiece or leaks. The cheapest is probably to let a professional confirm there is a problem. Then go to a tech and cut the tuning slide. I have two trombones lik that, one Conn 88h and a one Bach 42.They took one cm on the Conn and two cm on the Bach. After this both trombones can play in tune in A=442. I remember I felt a difference in the response when I got the Conn back. It was better. The Bach was not mine when it was cut, so I don't know about before and after.
This one looks fine to me. Are you sure it's not you

looks like it could be the slide. Make sure the water key cork is seating properly. If it leaks air then it could cause intonation issues.
