I see, so the only two options for a faulty mic are; A. Give it a blowjob or B. Inflict violence on the techs.
Certainly the actions of a sane and normal man.

What do the secret service do if someone fights back in self defense?
Interesting hypothetical but Trump hasn't thrown a punch (at a man at least) in his whole life and is unlikely to start now . It's all he can do to stay standing.
It's more an amalgamation of wobbles.
Constantly adjusting to the ever increasing load of shit in his britches.
Maybe inflicting violence on the mics and giving blowjobs to the techs would work?
I'd really REALLY like to see you try, you tiny handed shit machine.
Guy can barely walk or even bring his sippy cup to his weird lips— and that’s using both little hands.
Almost fell over trying to open a truck door. You’d win a fight with him by ducking a haymaker.
That awkward rebalancing back leg kick out when he missed the door handle 🤣 Woah Pops!
“I get so angry. I’m up here seething. I’m seething. I’m working my ass off with this stupid mic. I’m blowing out my left arm, now I’m going to blow out my right arm, and I’m blowing out my damn throat too, because these stupid people.”
Old angry fat man is to old and weak to hold onto a microphone. Sad!
Wow he really said that.
Guy is falling apart and people are gonna elect him anyway.
This is that strength and intelligence looks like. This is success.
- somehow a non-trivial amount of Americans
This dude sure does like blowing things
Sound guys against trump.
Makes sense. Most of the unsound guys I know are Trump supporters.
Audio engineers, tyvm
noise bois
I've worked as a sound guy in the past, and it suits me just fine.
Unless you’re designing the speakers’ circuitry, testing mic element response curves, designing the mic housing, etc, you’re not an engineer. You’re just a technician. This is like saying IT Help Desk is staffed by software engineers. They may have one or two actual engineers available, but you’re definitely not going to be talking to them for the daily “I don’t know the difference between rebooting and turning my monitor off and back on again” issues. IT Help Desk has techs who deal with the actual operation.
The only boots-on-the-ground position that might qualify for an actual engineering title would be the system designer, who did the math (or at least plugged all the numbers into their program) to determine where/how to set up the line arrays for adequate and even coverage throughout the room. At least they dip their toes into acousticians’ territory, so they may qualify as an engineer if you stretch the definition a little bit.

I also have issues with the fact that staging refers to lighting electricians as… Well… Electricians. In other industries, an electrician will have a journeyman’s license at least. They’ll have several years of experience under their belt, and will have done a full apprenticeship under a master electrician. But in staging, an electrician is just someone who plugs lights in.
I know a lot of FOH engineer that can design an array hang, dial in delays, do crazy sub array stuff, manage a Dante network, AND make a band sound good.
They are quite comfortable as FOH, systems, monitors RF or even just a patch monkey.
Just because a lot of people that call themselves sound engineers can't do that, doesn't mean nobody is a sound engineer.
I get that engineer is a protected term, but the majority of those apply to disciplines that have been around for centuries not 70 decades.
Original sound engineer would make their own kit. So they were probably electrical engineers, applying their knowledge to sound.
Be an audio tech. That's cool. I'd rather be on a gig with someone I consider a sound engineer tho.
proceeds to suck microphone off
only reasonable thing to do in this case
yes, i'd love to witness you committing multiple state felonies (the verbal threat itself may also have been one in wisconsin).
I’m not sure how but they missed the bit where he gave the microphone a hand job then followed up with a quick head job.
You know… normal campaign stuff just before the election…
A clip from him fuming. Trying to steal Nancy Reagan's Throat GOAT title...
Hahahaha oh man I'd love to see that geriatric even TRY to hit someone, holy shit. Dude would go down so fast.
QWOP punching ass motherfucker.
I'm trying to imagine being one of those backstage people. How do you not feel sudden and intense fear when this guy says that to a huge crowd of morons? Do I already have to be one of those morons in order to agree to do setup for this guy's rally?
And what about whoever's doing setup for the next show? I would probably stop showing up for work...
There was a mic problem at another rally. I suspect that the union folks have been looking at Project 2025 and have figured out where they really stand.
Did he piss off the audio engineer Union or does he just hire morons?
Both?
He demanded the mics to be so loud that he got feedback from the speakers. Then he got feedback from the speakers.
The only way he could knock someone out is by sitting his fat stinky ass on their chest for a couple minutes.
Merely being in the same room as his stinky ass might very well suffice.
Yes, please, add assault to his list of crimes! Preferably on camera, in front of plenty of witnesses, and unprovoked so he has zero chance of talking his way out of it!
For starters, he probably didn't pay them. My friend is an audio engineer and they literally started packing up equipment twice before . It's a miracle he hasn't had them seize the equipment whilst he's on stage
Secondly, there is no incentive for any decent audio engineers to work for him. He threatened to sue them personally last time it dropped out
Finally, he could have his own crew. But I'm guessing he doesn't because nobody would want to work for him, since he has a temper tantrum when anything happens
It's funny how Harris's equipment always works.. That's what happens when you treat people with respect
This isn't the first time he claims to have technical issues. Why doesn't he just bring his own shit?
This constant whining over stuff and stiffing contractors really isn't a great flex for someone who wants to be in charge of anything.
Bringing that Karen energy to the white house.
LOL that butterball can barely knock the hell out of fries and a diet Coke.
Yeah I would if I weren't sick of looking at the motherfucker. Can't wait til he spends the rest of his pathetic-ass life in court.
"knock the hell out of people" presumably means loudly complaining and insulting people until they do what he wants.
Surely there's a gif of Don Zimmer rushing Pedro Martinez that can have a couple faces swapped here, that's got potential
