Yes. It is his suit.
My only question is how much does Trump’s tailor charge to sew them into his suits?
Well, be that as it may, I can’t help but note the host is talking to him like he’s a confused child. “Look at you! Did you put that suit on all by yourself? Let’s just get your mic on there. You’re SUCH a good boy!”
Meanwhile, Trump spent sixteen minutes pacing back and forth onstage tonight not doing anything.
And he got to sit in the middle!
As bugs bunny would say…“What A Maroon!”
And none of this matters because millions of Americans are waiting in long lines to vote for
Not woke (R)
over
Woke (D)
That is really all they see.
I do wonder what would have been the right thing to do? In the old days, a politician would have plunged into the crowd and started talking with individuals/shaking hands, absolutely thrilling the supporters who got to interact with him personally. But I don’t think that could happen here, because (a) security concerns may mean he’s not supposed to mingle; and/or (b) supposedly the guy is a germaphobe who hates shaking hands.
The alternative might have been to orchestrate some chants (which the crowd did on their own). He could have shown some enthusiasm at least - throwing his arms out, mouthing “I love you!” to the crowd, thrusting his little fist into the air and shaking it.
I also wonder how something like that even happens. 16 minutes with not a single working microphone? You’d think some flunkies would have a redundant system set up so that repairs could happen faster than that. (Maybe it wasn’t the best and the brightest working on the set-up?)
Trump was 34 when Reagan was elected.
My wife and I once saw Neil Diamond in concert (Syracuse, NY).
When the mic/PA system failed … Diamond strutted around the stage for a minute, eventually dropping his trousers and dancing a bit for us all … pants around his ankles … until the mic was restored.
THAT’s how you do it.
[Not serious, Donald!!!]
ETA:
Trump’s check bounced?
Trump, being the skinflint that he is, opted for the lowest bid. Or, more likely, he was offered a choice of sound crews by the venue, and he went for the lowest priced one.
Well, you get what you pay for.
“Can you believe these guys? They wanted to charge me for two microphones, when I only need one! I told them, 'No, I’m not paying tha >microphone cuts out<”
To be fair, trump probably was more little by 60 or 70 lbs. when he was 34.
He’s a 4yo now, he was a 4yo then. He’s always been little.
I’m not going to hold this one against Trump. Asking someone who their favorite president was when they were little is a stupid question. I have two to pick from, George Bush, Sr. and Ronald Reagan because I’m simply too young to remember anything about Carter’s presidency.
I usually say Nixon, but only because he was president when I was born.
Note that you were able to name people who were President when you were a child… Assuming you were born in 1976, this would be the equivalent of you answering “Obama” to this question.
I agree with you that it’s probably nothing, at least compared to standing like a stoned fool for 39 minutes while YMCA blared out of the speakers.

I also think you could name any previous president. Many would say Lincoln was their favorite president when they were a kid but they weren’t alive in the 1860s.
He never does anyway.
No, you get what you DON’T pay for.
JFK. next question?
Yeah, that was the point of that question: historically, as a kid, which president did you admire the most? I seem to recall being asked that question when I was a kid myself. (Lincoln, for me.) It’s a stupid question otherwise. I’d pretty much only have Reagan to choose from if you meant someone in office while I was a kid.
He should have tried to crowd surf when the mic went out. The crowd would have parted like the Red Sea and let him fall rather than get crushed, but still that would have been fun.
