The production has to keep going! Donald Trump, 78, was ridiculed on Friday, October 18, after his audio was released, for pacing around his stage in Michigan for 17 minutes.
“Broken rally. Broken campaign. Broken man. Trump wanders on the stage for 17 minutes as his audio goes out during a rally in Michigan,” one individual wrote on X, previously known as Twitter, in addition to a video of the former president walking in circles as the audience cheered.
In response to Trump's peculiar conduct, users disparaged the father of five and his supporters.
“Did these MAGAs actually chant words of worship for their fascist leader for 17 minutes as he meandered around the stage soaking in the adoration?” one individual wrote, while another person reiterated, “But why were the MAGA cheering for literally nothing for 17 minutes?”
"Just imagine the foul odor emanating from that podium where the orange turd is aimlessly wandering around!" a third individual alluded to the rumors that Trump has an unpleasant odor.
“Best rally ever. No audio,” remarked a fourth individual.
Trump has been the subject of internet criticism in the past. The former reality TV star was humiliated on Thursday, October 17, when he boasted about his name-calling abilities during an interview on the "PBD" podcast, as previously reported by OK! Magazine.
“I have a very fertile mind. I come up with very good names for people. Lots of good names,” the politician declared.
“'I come up with very good names for people’ aka ‘I'm an immature man baby,’” one person said, while another chimed in, “You mean INSULTS…. He is nothing but a big bully and so are all his followers… SCUM every last one of them!!!”
“When Trump said fertile mind, I think he meant his mind was fertilizer. S--- for brains,” another individual wrote, while yet another noted, “So do 5-year-olds, but they don’t brag about it.”
In addition to the harassment he has faced from online commenters, actor Dave Bautista recently disparaged the father of five during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Beginning with “Fellas, we gotta talk,” he addressed male electors. “A lot of men seem to think that Donald Trump is some kind of tough guy. He’s not. I mean, look at him, he wears more makeup than Dolly Parton. He whines like a baby. The guy is afraid of birds. Donald Trump had his daddy pay a doctor to say his little feet hurt so he could dodge the draft. Look at that gut. It’s like a garbage bag full of buttermilk.”
“He’s barely strong enough to hold an umbrella. He cheats at golf, he creeps around beauty pageant dressing rooms,” Bautista stated.
“He’s got jugs. Big ones. Like Dolly Parton. And you know that little dance he does? He looks like he’s jacking off a pair of giraffes,” the Guardians of the Galaxy protagonist augmented.
Bautista, who supported Kamala Harris for president, subsequently displayed a video of Trump requiring assistance while strolling, stating, “He’s moody. He pouts. He throws tantrums. He acts like a 5-year-old behind the wheels of a truck. The guy needs help walking downhill. Almost there, Grandma.”
Donald Trump is involving one of the most emblematic American corporations – McDonald’s – in the political sphere during the concluding days of his third presidential campaign.
The former president is anticipated to visit a restaurant of the fast-food business in Pennsylvania on his Sunday tour of the Keystone State. He intends to serve as a fry attendant, as CNN reported last week.
It is the same position that Vice President Kamala Harris stated she occupied in her youth, a biographical fact disclosed during her initial presidential campaign. Subsequently, it has evolved into a focal point of the middle-class narrative she has deemed essential to her appeal to voters as the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee.
Trump, whose profound fondness for the Golden Arches and its products is well established, has concurrently become preoccupied with Harris' work there. During interviews and on the campaign trail, he consistently alleges, without substantiation, that Harris fabricated the factoid. His visit to the eatery represents his most recent endeavor to instill skepticism regarding the Democrat's professional background.
“I am going to McDonald’s to operate the french fry station,” Trump informed fans on Saturday during a rally in the Pittsburgh vicinity. “I believe I will undertake it tomorrow, presumably at a location in Pennsylvania, where I intend to stand over that French fry.”
Harris has predominantly disregarded Trump's requests from his fans and demands from conservative media for evidence of her being there. Her campaign did not respond to a request for commentary regarding Trump's allegation and his forthcoming visit to McDonald's.
A campaign official informed CNN that Harris was employed at a McDonald's in Alameda, California, during the summer of 1983 when she was still a student at Howard University in Washington. She operated the cash register and managed the fry and ice cream machines, as stated by the official.
During an episode of Drew Barrymore's talk program earlier this year, Harris informed the actor, "I prepared fries." Subsequently, I operated the cash register. During her 2019 presidential campaign, Harris referenced her employment at the fast-food business when participating in a picket line with striking McDonald's workers.
Her background was frequently cited onstage during this summer's Democratic National Convention as her supporters juxtaposed her childhood with Trump's affluent origins. Former President Bill Clinton remarked humorously that Harris would surpass his record for the most time spent at McDonald’s by a president. Texas Representative Jasmine Crockett stated that “one candidate was employed at McDonald’s,” but “the other was born into privilege.”
“Can you envision Donald Trump employed at a McDonald’s?” inquired Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. “He would be incapable of operating that McFlurry machine, regardless of the cost.”
Trump has consistently scrutinized the lives of his opponents over the years, frequently without justification, The National Enquirer reported. He was a prominent proponent of the discredited "birther" movement that erroneously challenged Barack Obama's citizenship and eligibility for the presidency, ultimately prompting the Hawaiian-born president to disclose his long-form birth certificate.
In the 2016 Republican primaries, Trump promoted a baseless conspiracy theory alleging that Sen. Ted Cruz's father was involved in the death of President John F. Kennedy. During this election cycle, Trump erroneously asserted that his Republican primary rival, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, was not a natural-born U.S. citizen and inaccurately claimed that Harris has only recently acknowledged her Black origin.
However, when he made these allegations, Trump infused his narrative with embellishments and falsehoods. He originated the term “truthful hyperbole” in his acclaimed autobiography “The Art of the Deal,” an oxymoron that nonetheless exemplifies his rapport with personal realities.
“It constitutes a benign form of hyperbole,” he articulated, “and serves as a highly effective promotional strategy.”
In a 2007 deposition, attorneys identified Trump as having lied at least 30 times over two days, primarily over trivial details about his enterprises, like the size of his workforce, a payment for speaking fees, and the expense of his golf membership. He also asserted that he stood on the wreckage at ground zero following the 9/11 terrorist attacks and that he compensated his workers to remove the debris, neither of which is substantiated by public record.
Numerous reports exist of Trump contacting reporters using the pseudonym “John Barron,” an alleged executive at his firm who allegedly deceived a Forbes journalist into exaggerating Trump’s wealth on the magazine’s list of the wealthiest individuals.
The rationale behind Trump's fixation on Harris' McDonald's employment and the necessity of his visit there during one of his limited weekends before Election Day remains ambiguous. In recent interviews, Trump has indicated that a minor aspect of his opponent's history should not be overlooked.
“We would assert that it is not a significant falsehood.” “It is a significant falsehood,” Trump stated, “as McDonald’s was integral to her entire narrative.”
Trump visited a McDonald’s in East Palestine, Ohio, during his presidential campaign, following a train derailment that released dangerous materials, resulting in an environmental and public health crisis. At the register, he jested to a woman, “I am more familiar with this menu than you are.” I likely possess superior knowledge about it compared to everybody else present.
The former president has consistently expressed his preference for fast food. In a 2016 CNN town hall, Trump, who identified as a “very clean person,” credited his preference for their products to quality control, stating, “You’re better off going there than someplace you have no idea where the food is coming from.”
He remarked, "I find all of those establishments, such as Burger King and McDonald's, acceptable. The previous evening, I consumed Kentucky Fried Chicken.” Not the most unfavorable situation.
Trump introduced that fondness into the White House, where he once provided Clemson’s national championship football team with various burgers and pizza. His son-in-law, Jared Kushner, remarked in his autobiography that he recognized Trump had made progress in his struggle against the coronavirus when he ordered his preferred McDonald's meal.
Kushner recalled, "McDonald's Big Mac, Filet-O-Fish, fries, and a vanilla shake."
During a recent appearance on Fox News, Donald Trump Jr. lamented that the network failed to inquire about the specific McDonald's where Harris was employed. He further claimed that his father's knowledge of the chain's services would exceed that of the Democratic nominee.
“I believe my father possesses a superior knowledge of the McDonald’s menu compared to Kamala Harris,” stated Trump Jr.
Business Times has reached out to Donald Trump for comments.
