Internet trolls Trump over mic malfunction: 'Trying to make sure the campaign has a happy ending'

During a Milwaukee rally on November 1, Donald Trump experienced a microphone failure that quickly went viral, sparking waves of reactions online.

The former president’s speech was interrupted at the Fiserv Forum as his podium microphone malfunctioned, leading the audience to chant, "Fix the mic."

Trump tried to continue with a handheld microphone, expressing his frustration to the crowd. “I get so angry. I’m up here seething. I’m seething. I’m working my a** off with this stupid mic,” he stated, visibly annoyed by the technical glitch.

He joked with his supporters, saying, “Do you want to see me knock the hell out of people backstage?”

Adding humor to his frustration, Trump said, “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.”

As he continued, Trump urged his supporters to “pretend you’re listening to it perfectly, and I’ll come back and do another one, OK?”

The incident and his expressive reaction quickly gained traction on social media. A user on X commented, "Trying to make sure the campaign has a happy ending."

Another added, “BREAKING: Trump is doing some weird s**t again with the microphone.” Others pointed out the humor in the situation, with one person tweeting, "Looks like he's done that before."

Despite the glitch, Trump carried on, joking that the handheld mic was so "heavy" it felt like "weightlifting."

As the final days of the campaign approach, Trump is scheduled to hold another rally in North Carolina on November 2, while Vice President Kamala Harris, who also held a rally in Milwaukee on the same day, is heading to Atlanta to continue her campaign efforts.
