He probably shit his diaper, flies follow him around often I'm sure
The sad thing is that someone in the crowd shouts "kamala" and the crowd laughs in agreement.
He may be completely weird, incompetent, and losing his mind, but he's literally on the same level as many of his supporters, and his support has basically been rock solid for years now. As in historically unprecedented lack of variance in his support.
That's the real problem and the real thing to be worried about. Half the country is like "YES, EXACTLY, THE FLY IS A HAT KAMALA AND CHANGES RAPIDLY AND I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY LONGER! FINALLY SOMEONE THAT GETS IT AND WILL FIGHT AGAINST THE HAT FLY KAMALA. ALL THOSE PEOPLE THAT SAID IF I DIDN'T GET AN EDUCATION AND WAS AN ASSHOLE TO EVERYONE WOULD LEAD TO A SHITTY LIFE ARE WRONG TRUMP SAYS I'M PERFECT AND WILL GIVE ME MONEY AND HURT THE PEOPLE DOING BETTER (FAKE NEWS!) THAN ME!"
Man, Republicans have gotten so deeply weird, it’s crazy
Remember when Bernie had a bird fly up to his podium during a speech?
Ah.... what could have been..... damn america might have been great again
Yeah but it wasn't gonna be good for the rich, so they picked Hillary and gave Trump the Presidency
I wont lie, i was a bernie or bust dude. I wanted trump to win for the choas it would bring hoping the left would learn their lesson. I also hated Hillary Clinton, i was convinced she would start ww3. Idk how to think if i were right or wrong. But so much terrible shit has happened after trump, was it all going to happen anyways.... i just dont know i think people should live regret free, i didnt vote so that doesnt apply as much, but i sure talked up trump for like the first year of him in office. 🤮🤮🤮
I thought trump was gonna drain the an swamp. But nooooooooo.
flies go after shit more than sugar
His diaper must have been full.
Maybe stop rubbing your face into your dirty diapers and you'd have less flies bothering you.
My old dog started doing this one day and we had to to put him down soon after.
In separate remarks made during his speech, Trump again dialed up his rhetoric against Harris, calling her “mentally disabled” and “mentally impaired.”
Well by the law of Republican projection there's our proof that Trump is not playing with a full deck.
The fly was obviously an agent of the deep state!
Flies are attracted to the stench of decay and fecal matter. Maybe Donnie did a boom-boom in his diaper and the fly wanted to see what the fuss was.
I propose a new standard practice during debates: At some point, open a box in the center of the stage with 100 or so flies in it, then keep a tally of how many gravitate to each speaker.
not beating the weird allegations
Former President Donald Trump expressed his frustration over a fly that approached his lecturn (sic) in a bizarre moment during a rally speech.
Trump was on stage at Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, making a point about a hat, when he appeared to get distracted by the creature.
“Oh there’s a fly,” the former president said. “I wonder where the fly came from?”
One audience member shouted out “Kamala.”
Trump continued: “See, two years ago, I wouldn’t have had a fly up here. You’re changing rapidly. We can’t take it any longer.” It wasn’t clear who or what the president was referring to before he changed the subject.
The internet was quick to react to Trump’s unexpected outburst, with MSNBC host and legal analyst Katie Phang saying “this is not normal.”
…
Katie Phang was saying this is not normal. What is she referring to?
Climate change increases the number of flies. I think he's talking about climate change. That's the only way I can make sense of this. The climate is changing rapidly and we can't take all the flies.
Flies are attracted to the smell of shit.
Flies are also attracted to the dead and decaying
And shit
His body odor is absolutely atrocious, according to everyone around him
Calling it body odor is even generous. It’s full diapers, called makeup, and cologne.
They'll create these all natural makeup products out of anything these days!
The theme is every time a fly bothers someone on stage they lose.

I can assume that, probably, his speech wasn't informative to begin with. It would be interesting to know if that sudden distraction was actually welcomed by his followers, or that they felt angry about Don abandoning the hat discourse. I can imagine how significant the familiar red cap design to the MAGA cult.
I would love to see Animaniacs bit where they encounter trump. Have Slappy squirrel narrating the bit like its a wildlife video.
Lol that's like a bit on the Colbert report
At last, Donnie has a frank discussion with one of his own kind.
I thought he was a peepee-bather, not a shit-eater
The weird master at it again.
The weird master
The weak, weird, old, orange felon fart master - FTFY
when donald trump's alters take over and start fronting mid speech
