What was wrong with the microphone?

[kentuck]

He sounded like he always sounds - like a frigging moron.

But he wanted to complain about it. Did he have no more bullshit to talk about? So, instead, he talks about beating up the sound crew at his rally?

He jumped the shark. That f'er is batshit crazy! Where are the strait-jackets?

There is no use looking beyond his mental state.

He has lost it.

1. It was set up too low for him and was not on an adjustable stand

He's an absolute baby.

[Wingus Dingus]

2. That's what I couldn't figure out. I think he was brain-farting and didn't know what else

to say so he fixated on that for a while...and then decided also to simulate oral sex to entertain the crowd. It's fucking batshit that it's not all over the news. Edit to add: if I was the audio crew I would have cut his mike on and off for the rest of the night.

11. If I were on the sound crew, I'd have cut it off completely

after he announced that he would not pay. No money, no mic.

3. The whole thing was like a cheap comedy routine you see in Vegas. In fact all his rallies are like that.

4. He has run out of sharks to jump. It no longer matters.

5. And we are told that this election is a virtual tie??

6. Complaining about microphones is one of his things.

10. I just posted on the same thing! But you brought the receipts!

It is a common issue for him, isn't it?

[TwilightZone]

14. Yep.

I'm pretty sure there were a lot more, but search results for them are currently buried by the latest one, of course.

It fits into at least two of Trump's patterns:

1) blame something or someone else for everything, especially when he's "misinterpreted"
2) find an excuse to not pay his bills.

[Bayard]

7. It was just too sexy.....

[PA Democrat]

8. Microphone issues are a reoccurring thing with Trump.

Remember the recent rally where his microphone cut out for a rather extended period of time? I've heard him state on numerous occasions that he will not be paying the audio people, for mic failure, or problems over the volume or quality of sound.

The guy is a deadbeat who has a history of manufacturing reasons to stiff people who have worked for him. Maybe these sound engineers figure, if he's gonna stiff us anyway, let's have a little fun.

18. How about giving

Trump a helium balloon voice?

[Faux pas]

9. He's

filling the air space with the most toxic gas on the planet, killing time and thinking he can just "dance" his way to the finish line because the election is in the bag AKA his scrotal sack.

[malaise]

12. Word is that it was too hard for him

[yellowcanine]

13. It kept saying it "had a headache"

[Disaffected]

15. It's my impression that he has had more mic issues

than normal. Could it be intentional, a part of his carnival barker act? Something else for him to rant and get the crowd riled up about?

[JHB]

16. It got a whiff of his breath and just shut down.

"I don't get paid enough for this shit."

[AnotherMother4Peace]

17. DonOld needs to warm the mic up: do a little dance, talk about himself, show his white, beautiful skin. Then, then

he can say: "I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. ... Grab 'em by the [shaft]. You can do anything."

ewwwwww - I've just grossed myself out.
