Politics donald trump US presidential election
Donald Trump had a meltdown due to a broken microphone, which bodes well for him having the nuclear codes
The US presidential election is only three days away, so the candidates’ nerves and tempers are bound to be fraught this weekend.
Which might explain why Donald Trump lost it on stage at a rally in Wisconsin – because of a malfunctioning microphone.

When his mic seemed to stop working properly, Trump started ranting about “the stupid people” who had organised the event, complaining that he’d have to “blow out his right arm and blow out his throat” for having to hold a different microphone and to speak louder.
He then promised to come back to do another rally with “a decent” microphone – and proceeded to hit the broken mic stand with the mic in his hand.
He then asked the crowd if they wanted him to “knock the hell out of people backstage”.

Not even the increased amount of fake tan could mask his visible rage.
It’s a small but timely reminder of the stakes of next week’s election. But at times like this, we have to laugh alongside the despair, right?

There are so many things wrong with this man and so many people want to give him the nuclear codes https://t.co/zcqyOnrg5P pic.twitter.com/HtLZWYYDvg

First it was just words, “stupid people”, etc…
Now it’s physical violence – against a mic stand!
Smacking the mic stand with the mic. He is reaching his limit and somehow must make it four more days.
The weekend should be pretty brutal for him… Good!

He does realize the people he’s calling stupid who did the sound for this event are most likely from the state of Wisconsin, right?
As in, the people he’s trying to get to vote for him?

That’s what you get for bragging about not paying your sound crew and shitting on them all the time!
Can’t get through a speech without a childish meltdown. https://t.co/QgqK9Ls3Ac

No for real, notice how he hits the stand with the mic. No self control whatsoever. https://t.co/0oaTDwkso8

He’s scheduled for 7-8 rallies this weekend. He’s gonna lose his shit big time by Sunday afternoon, if he’s this far gone on Friday night.

It is wild to see them laugh and cheer like that when he calls people stupid. He’s not being funny or clever or even playing to the crowd at all. He’s angry. He is about to lose his temper. You see it when he hits the mic. Over what? Nothing. Scary temper. And they love it. https://t.co/ypKHXNJHBH

Just a reminder that people consistently say women can’t be president because of their emotions while this guy throws a literal temper tantrum over something so fucking minuscule… https://t.co/6monhzCYAK
