Trump Gets Angry With 'Terrible, Stupid' Microphone During Rally

Donald Trump had a new enemy during a campaign stop Wednesday night –- his microphone.

The real estate mogul at one point during his packed rally in Pensacola, FL paused and went on a rant.

“And by the way I don’t like this mic, whoever the hell brought this mic system don’t pay the son of a b**** who brought it in,” the crowd laughed but the Donald was visibly annoyed.

“No this mic is terrible, stupid mic keeps popping...Don’t pay him. You know I believe in paying but when somebody does a bad job like this you shouldn’t pay the b******,” Trump said –- with a few mic pops.

The horrific video:

Say what you want about former President Clinton, he once had a speech before a joint session of Congress where the teleprompter displayed the wrong speech.....and so he improvised a large part of speech without skipping a beat, and no one knew about the incident until after the fact.

Presidenting just isn't your thing, Donald.

1. It was his health care speech in 1993.

Here's a link to the Youtube video:

After Clinton gets up to the podium, about two minutes into the video, he turns to Al Gore in back of him, says something, then Gore speaks to the man to his left. If you turn up the sound, you can then hear Gore saying to Clinton, "He'll fix it."

I didn't bother to watch any more, but I believe if you do so, the point at which the correct speech shows up is reasonably clear.

Bill Clinton is an amazing speaker. I saw him at a Democratic Party event in Kansas in 2007 where he spoke for about 45 minutes with no notes at all and gave very specific facts and figures. I suspect had I taken notes and fact-checked him, he'd have gotten everything right.

2. Kick and rec just so I can find the link to that Bill Clinton speech again.

Whatever my complaints with Bill Clinton's presidency, I am still in awe of his "presidenting" abilities. The raw talent he has is beyond comprehension.

3. He is nothing more than shock jock. He publicly slings cuss words all the time. Quite apart from

how disastrous that sort of thing would be in situations that require diplomacy and delicate negotiations, think of the children (no, really, I mean it).

When I had small children of my own, I ran a home daycare (in addition to all my other jobs). For 18 years, until my younger child left for college, I cared for babies, toddlers, and gradeschool kids. During that time I never allowed a curse word to pass my lips, even in private, because I didn't want habitual use to cause me to let a bad word drop around someone else's child. I also didn't want to hear curse words flying from the sweet mouths of my own little ones (at least not before they were much older!).

It isn't just that many people are offended by such language, though I do believe it to be rude and obnoxious to ignore how one's language and behavior affect others in public. I also wanted my kids and my daycare kids to grow up immersed in a language environment that favored complex, sophisticated speech of the sort capable of expressing complex, sophisticated thought. Expletives are fine for blunt, forceful emoting, but not adequate for clear or complex thinking. (In case it isn't obvious, one of my other jobs is as a college level instructor of composition and literature).

I didn't let other adults curse around my kids or my daycare kids, either, and even asked them to try not to curse around their own kids at home, since I didn't want their kids cursing in my daycare, which they inevitably would if their parents cursed around them all the time at home.

Now, remember how furious RW parents were that President Obama would be allowed to address school children? They were just *sure* he would be a terrible influence on their innocent young minds.

Well, in general kids are encouraged to look up to the president. I don't think Trump could be anyone's idea of an acceptable role model, at least not in terms of the language that spews from his mouth. Even parents who like his bellicosity, his racism, and his appeals to violence might not want their little ones to be constantly exposed to such language from a president. Sure, kids hear such language in real life, from TV shows, and from movies, but hearing it all the time from a president? I think even many RW Trump supporters (I call them Trumpeters), especially the evangelicals, many of whom probably control their kids' exposure to movies, programs, and people who use such language, would be upset about that.

4. It's a form of bullying, a kind of verbal abuse.

And it's not restricted to GOPers, either, unfortunately.

5. Sound guys usually get paid up front

One would hope there was a union involved, but it being Florida, who knows.

The sound check was probably run using normal people with normal voices and calibrated to that level--not the level of a screeching maniac who eats the mic, pops his Ps, and generally drowns in his own spittle. Those are hardly "normal" conditions.

On the other hand, maybe the sound guy just turned up the Suck Knob for the hell of it. They'll do that with asshole clients or gigs where they're not treated well. Do not piss off the sound guy. He or she has the power to make you suck.

6. Had to look up the definition of Cluster B.

7. I'm shocked more people aren't pointing out how unhinged he's getting. He quoted a whole song.

A few days ago the reporter msnbc has following him around, Katie Turk or something, marveled that she had just seen Trump quote the entire song "The Snake" when railing about immigrants. The whole thing.

Btw the YouTube video for that song is a cesspool of Trump supporters now. You know what to do.
