Former President Donald Trump surprised his supporters at Saturday's rally in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. In the middle of a heated monologue about illegal immigration, he unexpectedly diverted his attention towards a fly that landed on his podium.
"Oh, there’s a fly," said Trump. "I wonder where the fly came from?" To which one of the attendees shouted, "Kamala!" referring to Kamala Harris. In response to this, Trump added, "See, two years ago, I wouldn’t have had a fly up here. You're changing quickly. We can't take it any longer" he added indignantly.
The internet quickly reacted to this unexpected incident. Katie Phang, MSNBC host and legal analyst, commented, "This is not normal." The American Bridge 21st Century group, which holds Republicans accountable, stated that "Trump is exhausted and struggling to stay on track. He begins a story about a hat, but gets distracted by a fly and never finishes."
Many internet users compared this incident to the 2020 situation when a fly landed on then-Vice President Mike Pence’s head during a debate with Kamala Harris.
Disgusting words from Trump towards Harris
During the same rally, Trump once again attacked Kamala Harris, calling her "mentally disabled."
"Joe Biden became mentally impaired. Kamala, was born that way. [...] If you think about it, only a mentally disabled person could’ve allowed this to happen to our country," Trump proclaimed, in the context of illegal immigration and US border security.
