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?
