    He didn’t stroke his mic stand, CNN.

    He acted like he was blowing it.

    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.

    And I honestly do not know how to interpret that other than him saying he blows the roadies to get them to do what he wants.

      In the performer’s mind the microphone’s low height was due it being like a flaccid penis. His goal was to raise the height by giving the microphone an erection via oral stimulation.

      No no. This may be worse than we thought. We always thought trump was a facist, who enjoyed being in control. What if he’s NOT in control? Even of his own body? What if Putin has given him hypnosis that makes him inadvertantly show tells by muscle memory?

      What if behind closed doors, he gets on his knees and blows putin? And in the inner walls of his mind, he’s trapped, watching everything that happens, watching himself make an ass of himself on a daily basis? They’re eating the cats and dogs! Can you imagine watching yourself say that, almost in a 3rd person perspective, but completely unable to stop it for the last 8 years?

      Can you imagine being forced to meet with international leaders, and being forced to lick their balls and buttholes?

      …what? Yes, it’s a crazy theory, but it kinda makes sense, right? Kind of like going sane in a crazy world. And it makes more sense than the republicans voterbase. They see him say these things, live on tv. They see him say openly facist plans. They see him tell them that he plans to attack Americans using the military. And their response to this is “Oh, he wouldn’t say that…”

      Now I’ve been taught as a child that the explaination with the least ammount of resistence is likely the truth. That is to say that the simplest explaination is usually closer to the truth than complex explainations.

      And what’s more simple: That putin has used his spy network to brainwash millions of Americans which make up roughly 48% of America to not absorb reality around them, and vote against their own best interests?

      Or…

      That millions of Americans just naturally are all doing the same batshit insane behavior together for no reason?

        It’s not for no reason, they vote for him because he hates the same people. Simple as. They’ll overlook literally anything he says or does.

      NYT says he bobbed with his mouth open and that it was the internet that had suggested it was an oral sex performance…

      The title of my post is not the title of the CNN article. I made my own title as there doesn’t seem to be rules here regarding post titles

    If I worked at one of these rallies as the sound engineer I would absolutely take one for the team and fuck with him the whole time. Hot mic then too quiet, spill my coffee on the mixer, patch myself in and start reading the German version of 50 shades of grey.

    I’m reminded of all the bitch fits “King” Charles threw after the queen died, and it’s just a reminder that so many who seek power are constitutionally incapable of ruling. You’d think a reasonable person wouldn’t want to look like a child when they’re on national television, but Trump’s 80 year-old brain is doing what 80 year-old brains do.

      I just took a trip to Belize, a part of the Commonwealth. King Charles isn’t on any of the money yet. In fact, the Queen looks like the 1952 model on the money.

    He had a similar problem at another venue.

    I think that the union crews looked over Project 2025 and decided to take some direct action.
