From Escalator To Teleprompter — Trump’s String Of Humiliations Continues

President Donald Trump, 79, hosted an extravagant “Legacy Dinner” at the White House on Wednesday night, but the event didn’t unfold as he had hoped. What was intended to be a polished address to influential donors and leaders quickly encountered issues.Different from previous mishaps during his UN General Assembly speech in September, this incident arose within the confines of his own residence on October 15.The dinner attracted high-profile contributors to a $200 million ballroom project, including representatives from major corporations like Amazon, Google, Lockheed Martin, and Microsoft. Republican officials also attended the private gathering in the East Room.The White House livestreamed the event on YouTube and X. Unfortunately, viewers struggled to hear Trump’s opening remarks due to a disconnected microphone, resulting in poor audio quality on X. Many viewers criticized the audio problems, questioning the competence of the technical team responsible for the setup, while others expressed frustration over the extravagant dining in the face of economic struggles. Throughout his presidency, Trump has faced several microphone mishaps.
