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.
Because he’s fucking weird.
Remember when Howard Dean yelled funny and his career was over?
Remember when “Please Clap” ruined Jeb’s entire campaign?
Didn’t that happen as he was resigning from the race already?
Byaaaaaaaaa!
Because disinhibition is a sign of dementia.
THIS is not an onion article

This is not an onion ARTICLE
That last one makes me suspect this article might be an onion in disguise.
If Will Ferrel did this in a skit people would be saying he had jumped the shark.
Trump in the final week before the Presidential election for the United States of America just mimicked giving a blow job to a microphone.
After giving it a good handjob.
It’s on video in the article.
It’s real.
It’s beyond bizarre, it’s Trump.
I was commenting on how the emphasis changes the meaning of each of the different sentences on the comment I was responding to, not any of the context of the original post.
My first thought seeing the headline was "c/onion or c/nottheonion?
c/politics was not what I expected.
Damn. After all this time.
“That can’t be real. right?”
Of course it’s real. Of course it is.
The comments on Twitter/X were about what you’d expect, although many were too graphic to be posted here:
“Trying to make sure the campaign has a happy ending.”
“These are the book banning folks, right.”
“Evidently, Donald Trump’s final campaign message is ‘Hawk Tuah!’”
“There is something seriously wrong with this person. He’s willing to do or say ANYTHING to get some applause from his sycophantic cult.”
“He finally found something that consents.”
“Tomorrow the press headlines will be: Trump has technical difficulties but gives rousing speech.”
malfunctioning microphone
it was NOT consensual. even the microphone was turned off by his words and his presence.
"He later added: “I get so angry. I’m up here seething. I’m seething. I’m working my ass off with this stupid mic. I’m blowing out my left arm. Now I’m going to blow out my right arm and I’m blowing out my damn throat, too, because these stupid people.”…HAHAHAHAHA. hes blown out in ways he simply cannot comprehend
Trump also complained about the low height of microphone stands at his events and showed how he would work around such issues, bobbing his head up and down in … an imitation of oral sex.
So… he gets around such issues by blowing the roadies?
with many comments too graphic to share.
Do it, you cowards!
“They’re eating the dongs…”
Letting Putin, xi, and Kim Jung un see what he’s offering them if he wins
Letting Xi and Jung know what he’s been doing to Putin all this time
He’s got a long history of stimulating oral sex acts in public.
Perverts have got a long history of thinking of sex acts whenever they see him open his mouth*
Fixed. Imagine looking at this and your first thought is “blowjob” https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/bc04d81b-cb7b-40bb-b2a2-e41c86f37164.jpeg
I know furries who are less depraved than this, lol.
Imagine looking at this and desperately sanewashing Trump to pretend that he’s not simulating oral sex with his mic at his pathetic rally.
‘Come on, of course he’s pretending to suck dick at a random time during a public speech on a completely unrelated topic!’
Listen to yourself, for crying out loud.
Is this monumental straw-grasp really where your attention should be focused, this close to the election?
Go ahead and explain in your own words what you think Trump is doing in this video.
I don’t have to speculate about what I “think” he’s doing, I actually saw the context directly. I know it might be a foreign concept to you, but I don’t just blindly accept without question what I see on social media. You may be content to be this gullible, but I’m not, and that’s a flaw on your part, not mine. Intellectual laziness.
He was talking about having problems with malfunctioning microphones, and was pantomiming messing with a mic and talking into it to see if it works. He did almost exactly the same thing with an actual dying mic in his hand not two minutes before this clip.
You’re only making yourself look like more of a pornsick coomer by insisting so hard that he, for no apparent reason, just decided to start pretending to suck a penis.
The context is that Trump has had a long history of making sexual comments such as “grab them by the pussy” and comments on the size of Arnold Palmer’s penis.
The other part of the context is that your entire Lemmy comment history is full of Trump apologia. You are the only person in this comment chain who is trying to explain away Trump’s obvious sexual innuendo as something else, when the video is right there for everyone to see. And a user named “damnedfurry” accusing someone else of being a “pornsick coomer” for calling out Trump reeks of projection.
You must be mistaking Lemmy for Truth Social, because nobody on Lemmy is buying your garbage.
That last one though
I did Nazi that coming
Anne Frankly you should be ashamed
Don’t credit me, I just browse the interwebs. Here, this one’s mine.
He said he’s good at the weave. I call it the bob but in the end it is the same motion.
ALL HAIL THE THROAT GOAT!
Donald coming after Nancy Reagan’s title belt.
