During a recent rally in Milwaukee, former President Donald Trump expressed frustration over technical difficulties with his microphone. The rally, held in the key battleground state of Wisconsin, saw Trump criticizing the US withdrawal from Afghanistan when his microphone suddenly stopped working. After being handed a replacement microphone, Trump proceeded to voice his discontent with the situation.
Trump's reaction to the microphone malfunction was captured as he exclaimed, 'What crap. The only thing I ask for is a mic. You don’t have to give me — I don’t even need a stage, I don’t give a damn. Give me a good mic and I went through two of these today and it knocks the hell out of your throat.'
The incident occurred during a speech where Trump was addressing the audience about the US military's exit from Afghanistan, a topic that has been a focal point of political discussion in recent months. Despite the technical hiccup, Trump continued with his rally in Milwaukee, seeking to garner support in the state of Wisconsin, which holds significance as a key battleground in national elections.
Earlier in the day, Trump had made campaign stops in Michigan before heading to Wisconsin for the rally. The former president's visit to these states is part of his efforts to engage with voters and rally support for his political agenda.
While the microphone issue briefly interrupted the rally, Trump's speech resumed after the replacement was provided. The incident highlighted the challenges that can arise during live events and the importance of technical equipment functioning properly in such settings.
