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.

      I don’t have to speculate about what I “think” he’s doing, I actually saw the context directly. I know it might be a foreign concept to you, but I don’t just blindly accept without question what I see on social media. You may be content to be this gullible, but I’m not, and that’s a flaw on your part, not mine. Intellectual laziness.

      He was talking about having problems with malfunctioning microphones, and was pantomiming messing with a mic and talking into it to see if it works. He did almost exactly the same thing with an actual dying mic in his hand not two minutes before this clip.

      You’re only making yourself look like more of a pornsick coomer by insisting so hard that he, for no apparent reason, just decided to start pretending to suck a penis.
