Trump's mic mishap: Fiery rally turns into tech tirade

During Donald Trump's rally on Friday, an unusual situation unfolded. While the former US president was speaking, the audience began chanting a phrase that he initially couldn't decipher, leading him to comment on it in a vulgar manner. "I get so mad, I'm up here seething. I'm working my ass off with this stupid mic," was heard shortly thereafter.

At a certain point during the Friday rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, while Donald Trump was speaking, a chant from the audience could be heard: "Fix the mic." Initially, Trump didn't understand the demand and started moving to the rhythm of the crowd's shouts. Once he realized what they were asking, he reacted immediately and firmly.

"The mic is terrible ... I think this mic stinks" he suddenly stated, removing it from the stand, much to the crowd's delight.

Trump on technical issues: because of these stupid people

After continuing his speech, Trump asked the crowd if the microphone was working better, noting "it annoys him." When the issues persisted, Trump at some point said, "You must be joking. Do you want to see me knock the hell out of people back stage?"

"I get so mad, I'm up here seething. I'm working my ass off with this stupid mic," he stated. "What crap. The only thing I ask for is a mic. And I went through two of these today," he declared, adding that it's yet another day with this kind of issue.

Although many of those gathered laughed at Trump's vivid depiction of the situation, some perceived that part of his speech as inappropriate. The former president spent a good portion of his rally addressing the issues with the microphone.
