At this point I’m not quite sure who’s whooshing who. Just to clear things up, hats off to @Frodo - neat joke and fine knowledge of British English. **Taint** is an uncommon - uh - informal medical term for the perineum (taint one thing nor the other).

Though not, it seems, filthy enough. 😉

I like to think it is also a reference to the effect of the perineum on whatever comes in contact with it.

After that pitch-perfect speech, the short-fingered vulgarian called into Fox News to complain and they cut him off after 10 minutes. The NYT reports:

> At several points during the call, a familiar beeping sound interrupted Mr. Trump’s remarks. It appeared that the former president was accidentally pressing buttons on the keypad of his phone.

> Finally, while Mr. Trump was still midsentence, Mr. Baier moved to end the interview and thanked his guest for his time: “We appreciate that live feedback.”

> The network immediately shifted to an episode of its late-night comedy program, “Gutfeld!”

Team Trump should have expected that. There had been reports of large donors withholding contributions because they didn’t believe Biden could win, so now that it’s Harris…

Sorry, no link; the reports I’m familiar with came from NBC News Radio.
