Trump makes bizarre comment as he’s bothered by fly on stage “See, two years ago, I wouldn’t have had a fly up here. You’re changing rapidly. We can’t take it any longer.”
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.”

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.
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.
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 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!"
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.
