“I won’t pay the bill for this stupid company,” he said. “I won’t pay the bill, and then we’ll have a story that Trump didn’t pay the bill to a contractor.”

If you don’t want a reputation for screwing over contractors then you should pay your damn contractors. But we all know Trump would’ve just made up a reason to stiff them even if everything went smoothly.

But I do find it amusing that he’s this close to figuring out why his mic didn’t work in the first place. Good contractors have options and won’t work for a known dead beat. So all he can get are incompetent fools.

20 minutes to find a second mic? Or move the connection to a different input.

Sounds about right for the people Trump hires.

Proper soundcheck + mic 2 and I've never had more than 15 seconds of dead time in past 10 years.

“Failed mic.”

“I won’t pay the bill for this stupid company,” he said. “I won’t pay the bill, and then we’ll have a story that Trump didn’t pay the bill to a contractor.”

He already wasn't gonna pay.

He didn't play music this time?

Didn't want to do another impromptu concert?

So the guy who thinks he and he alone can fix the world, and that foreign leaders admire and fear him cannot (1) hire a campaign competent with the simplest contingencies, (2) cannot stick through any interview that asks him about things he did, let alone a hostile interview, (3) cannot find and maintain staffers nor cabinet members who won't betray him for being ignorant and unhinged.

big energy fascist would have been screaming into a bullhorn. you're losing it donny.

We've seen him handle an actual emergency and it was strikingly similar. It's good to know he handles even small problems in the same dumbfounded way.

We're all completely screwed if this crisis generator gets back into office.

I already commented, but another thought came to mind: Four Seasons Total Landscaping.

I volunteer at a venue that offers a stage for bands and DJs starting out and looking for a first place to preform.
It has a capacity for an audience of 300. None of the people working there get paid.

We can't display "Complicated Business" on a big screen when a mic cuts out, but would have fixed that issue within a minute.
Unless the stage is mobile and outdoors, or in someone's living room, you set up an emergency backup amp, mixer, speakers and mics before the first guest enters the building.

Then this dipshit said he wasn’t paying the bill, I mean tell me something we don’t already know…

Hope he hated it.

every time something comes up in politics that i don't like i just imagine donald trump swaying catatonically to Ave Maria

Inb4 hang mic pence
