Donald Trump took audio matters into his own hands on Friday night and chose to hold the microphone for an hour-long speech, channeling a stand-up comedian during the event.
After the audience began cheering because they couldn’t hear the former president just minutes into the speech, Trump ripped the microphone from the stand and began improvising.
‘This mic is terrible … I think this mic smells.’
Ten minutes later he riffed on the equipment again: ‘I’ve never held a microphone up so long in my damn life.’
Later when the audio cut back he jokingly threatened to beat up the equipment staff.
‘Do you want to see me beat someone backstage? I’m so angry, I’m up here. I’m working my ass off with this stupid mic.’
