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.

      My first thought seeing the headline was "c/onion or c/nottheonion?

      c/politics was not what I expected.

        If Will Ferrel did this in a skit people would be saying he had jumped the shark.

        Trump in the final week before the Presidential election for the United States of America just mimicked giving a blow job to a microphone.

        After giving it a good handjob.

        It’s on video in the article.

        It’s real.

        It’s beyond bizarre, it’s Trump.

          I was commenting on how the emphasis changes the meaning of each of the different sentences on the comment I was responding to, not any of the context of the original post.

            No worries, I just really can’t believe he knob gobbled a microphone at a rally that he knew would be captured on video!
