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.

malfunctioning microphone

it was NOT consensual. even the microphone was turned off by his words and his presence.

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....

Nah, he just has Laura Loomer on his mind.

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.

Microphones are not growers Don.

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.

Damn. After all this time.

"That can't be real. right?"

Of course it's real. Of course it is.

The comments on Twitter/X were about what you’d expect, although many were too graphic to be posted here:

*“Trying to make sure the campaign has a happy ending.”*

*“These are the book banning folks, right.”*

*“Evidently, Donald Trump’s final campaign message is ‘Hawk Tuah!’”*

*“There is something seriously wrong with this person. He’s willing to do or say ANYTHING to get some applause from his sycophantic cult.”*

*“He finally found something that consents.”*

*“Tomorrow the press headlines will be: Trump has technical difficulties but gives rousing speech.”*

Remember when Howard Dean yelled funny and his career was over?

THIS is not an onion article

This is not an onion ARTICLE

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

c/politics was not what I expected.

That last one makes me suspect this article might be an onion in disguise.

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!

He said he's good at the weave. I call it the bob but in the end it is the same motion.

ALL HAIL THE THROAT GOAT!

He's got a long history of stimulating oral sex acts in public.

Perverts have got a long history of thinking of sex acts whenever they see him open his mouth*

Fixed. Imagine looking at this and your first thought is "blowjob" https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/bc04d81b-cb7b-40bb-b2a2-e41c86f37164.jpeg

I know furries who are less depraved than this, lol.

Imagine looking at this and desperately sanewashing Trump to pretend that he's not simulating oral sex with his mic at his pathetic rally.

'Come on, of course he's pretending to suck dick at a random time during a public speech on a completely unrelated topic!'

Listen to yourself, for crying out loud.

Is this monumental straw-grasp really where your attention should be focused, this close to the election?

Go ahead and explain in your own words what you think Trump is doing in this video.

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.

The context is that Trump has had a long history of making sexual comments such as "grab them by the pussy" and comments on the size of Arnold Palmer's penis.

The other part of the context is that your entire Lemmy comment history is full of Trump apologia. You are the only person in this comment chain who is trying to explain away Trump's obvious sexual innuendo as something else, when the video is right there for everyone to see. And a user named "damnedfurry" accusing someone else of being a "pornsick coomer" for calling out Trump reeks of projection.

You must be mistaking Lemmy for Truth Social, because nobody on Lemmy is buying your garbage.

Fucking corporate media putting this asshat on a podium for the last couple of decades asking, "why is this asshat on the podium?" Get fucked.

Damn first JD Vance fucks a couch and now Trump fucks a microphone

He has to show Putin that he is still his boy.

All the recent talk of Epstein has been bringing back memories.

He thought the microphone stand was Putin.

He's just preparing for his eventual conviction and stint in prison.

Because he misses having threesomes with Jeffrey and Ivanka?

It's his backup plan... if he doesn't get elected then he can't pardon himself or step-down and let Dunce pardon him. Instead, he has to be convincing that he's lost his mind and is unfit for trial/sentencing.

"He later added: “I get so angry. I’m up here seething. I’m seething. I’m working my ass off with this stupid mic. I’m blowing out my left arm. Now I’m going to blow out my right arm and I’m blowing out my damn throat, too, because these stupid people.”...HAHAHAHAHA. hes blown out in ways he simply cannot comprehend

Where is the video?

Letting Putin, xi, and Kim Jung un see what he's offering them if he wins

Maybe he's been trying to tell us all something all these years by doing his jerkoff dance to YMCA...does he have "I'm Coming Out" on the same playlist?

I like how no one questions a two second clip, and thoughts all immediately go to "blowjob".

The kind of people who write and consume articles like these are the reason "TDS" gained momentum as a term.

Objectivity Incarnate when they try to raise a mic, every time (this is the normal way for them)

I like how even the tiny clip isn't enough deception, so you also sped the clip up.

You just proved my point. Know that every moment you spend talking about stupid nothings like this, is time you're not spending talking about his ACTUAL misdeeds.

E: and they respond with the same doctored clip, lol. Braindead.

Never forget that part of the reason he won is because people like you focused on stupid bullshit like this instead of real things.

Hope you learn from this.

No it's because you voted for trump.

I didn't, and neither did my state.

Take responsibility for the distraction rhetoric you spread. You could have been talking about something meaningful instead of fantasizing about Donald Trump sucking dick.

But the latter is what you decided to do. For shame.

Buddy I voted against and my state was blue too. You dont seem to understand that everything has been said many times (especially on this platform), and it did nothing. Me sharing a gif that is seen by 500 people didn't do anything. But sure, make up shit and attack others to feel better.

The worst part is that he was specifically referring to a blowjob and you can't handle that.

Your last political act before Donald Trump got elected was fantasizing about him sucking dick.

That's yours to live with, pervert. Forever. Enjoy.
