Trump rally derails as microphone mishap boils over

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." Trump first didn't understand the demand and started moving to the rhythm of the crowd's shouts, but when 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.

After continuing his speech, Trump asked the crowd if the microphone was working better, saying "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.

A moment later, Trump complained about the weight of the microphone and how low the stand was set, showing the audience that it's difficult for him to speak that way. "And then everyone wonders, what's going on with his back, what's wrong with him?" he stated, adding that "there's nothing worse" than that situation.

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