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.

    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.

        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.

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