A broken microphone leaves Donald Trump pacing the stage in silence for nearly 20 minutes

DETROIT — DETROIT (AP) Donald Trump paced his rally in silence for nearly 20 minutes Friday evening in Detroit after his microphone was cut off.

The Republican candidate and former president was about to talk about one of his favorite topics, tariffs, struggling to name it by first teasing the most beautiful word in the dictionary. Very soon after, the sound subsided.

The crowd chanted USA and We love Trump in support. But without a microphone, Trump simply strolled on stage. Looking frustrated, he sometimes turned his back on most of his audience.

It was the second time in a week that one of his events was interrupted, although the last time, on Monday, Trump interrupted a town hall and played music instead after several people in the audience needed medical care. This time, Trump appeared to have little control over the matter, remaining silent as the room's screens displayed the messages “Technical difficulties” and “Complicated matters.”

Trump is known to be sensitive about his image and the mechanics of his rallies, often commenting over microphones and teleprompters. Earlier Friday, the Fox & Friends hosts joked that Trump likes to adjust the lighting when he sits down for interviews.

Assistants are known to travel with several backup microphones, but it's unclear why they couldn't immediately locate one Friday and carefully prepare the flags that decorate his stages.

Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign used video of the moment to drive home its message that Trump, 78, may not have the energy to be president again. It was published on X, An exhausted Trump walks awkwardly in circles on stage after his microphone stops working.

As the delay dragged on, the crowd continued to applaud and chant. At one point, the crowd waved.

Finally, after nearly 20 minutes, an aide brought Trump a replacement microphone that worked.

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