Summary

As election day nears, Donald Trump’s rhetoric has become increasingly unhinged, highlighted by a rally in Milwaukee where he simulated performing a lewd act on a malfunctioning microphone and threatened backstage staff over technical issues.

His actions, including racially insensitive remarks and fantasies of revenge against opponents like Liz Cheney, have left many stunned by both their content and political imprudence. Social media reactions ranged from shock to criticism of his behavior, with many comments too graphic to share.

Tom Nichols of The Atlantic remarked that Trump’s supporters avoid news sources outside their bubble to maintain plausible deniability about his mental instability, claiming they support him for policy reasons while ignoring his erratic conduct.

    Trump also complained about the low height of microphone stands at his events and showed how he would work around such issues, bobbing his head up and down in … an imitation of oral sex.

    So… he gets around such issues by blowing the roadies?

      I mean, he does have some large judgements to pay, and a nickel is a nickel…

        I honestly don’t know how else to interpret that.

      Putin is also of “low height”.

        Wow, I’ve completely forgotten about her. That wasn’t that long ago was it? Is she still hanging around outside the spotlight?

          I’ve completely forgotten about her.

          The only proper response when talking about her.

            My thing is, how many of these stupid stunts have we forgotten about. It’s been non-stop for 8 years now.

          Seems like she was around for about 1.5 Scaramuccis or so. I might need a calculator.

        No, but the stands are. Which is what he was complaining about. The height of the stand. And a microphone stand is ridiculously easy to adjust, but instead of just doing it, he decided to pretend to blow a roadie? I still don’t get it.
