Donald Trump appeared to emulate performing a ‘sex act’ on a microphone stand during a campaign rally after experiencing technical difficulties.
Viewers were stunned at the former president’s apparent gesture during his Milwaukee rally on Friday night in Wisconsin.
Trump was complaining about the microphone and told the crowd the stand was too low. “I came in today, I said, and, you know, this is after four of these things I’ve been in all fairness. I mean, I’m a human being, right? I come in, and here’s the problem…”
He grabbed the microphone stand and made gestures with his hand and mouth before saying: “Way too low”.
A short clip of the bizarre moment started circulating on social media, and was even shared by the KamalaHQ Twitter profile with a “?” as a caption.
The View’s Ana Navarro was among the shocked viewers. “Ask yourself: what would happen if Kamala Harris did this?” she said in a post on X. “Yes. You saw right. This is Trump on stage at a rally, pretending to perform a sex-act on a microphone.
“This is not normal. Trump is disgusting, unhinged and unfit to represent the United States. Vote him out.”
Earlier in the rally Trump, in frustration, ripped the microphone from the podium to hold it closer to his mouth.
“I think this mic stinks,” Trump said. “And then we don’t pay the contractor. I say don’t pay the contractor then they write a story, Trump doesn’t pay his bills, he’s a bad guy.”
At one point, as the problems appeared to continue, the former president said: “You’ve gotta be kidding. Do you want to see me knock the hell out of people backstage?”
The crowd cheered and Trump continued: “I don’t mind if they want to come up a little forward or something but it’s a pretty stupid situation, but that’s OK.”
“I get so angry, I’m up here seething. I’m seething, I’m working my ass off with this stupid mic,” he carried on.
“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 of these stupid people.”
