  1. Muting him would solve 99% of his team’s PR problems.

  2. >“You know, I find it so interesting that what we’re fighting about is the fact that his own team wants to shut him up,” [campaign co-chair Mitch] Landrieu said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “I don’t know if I’ve ever heard that before in the debates and the rules of the debates.”

    Gotta love them skewering Donald while keeping it light; you know it’s driving him to hurl hamberders and Diet Coke.

  3. Given that Harris is literally giving Trump exactly what he and his followers have been asking and whining about for years, their blatant hypocrisy is worth pointing out as well:

    >”Granting an unnamed person the ability to shut off a candidate’s microphone. It is completely unacceptable for anyone to wield such power. … [It] is not acceptable.”

    – Trump’s campaign manager, Oct 19, 2020

    >”Let’s do another debate, but this time, no holds barred. An all on discussion, with just the two of us on stage, talking about the future of our country”

    – Donald Trump, June 4, 2024

  4. It’s because he wants to make shitty comments while she’s speaking to throw her off like he did with Biden.

  5. She should just look at him and make a hand gesture like Obama did about crowd sizes . He would lose it

  6. hahaha, I love it. I hope they keep trolling trump until he forces his team to request an unmuted mic

  7. Dementia Donald needs a babysitter to shut off his microphone when he starts talking about Hannibal Lecter again.

  8. If they want Trump to flip out, they should start circulating rumors the GOP wants to swap Vance and Trump.

  10. Usually I like orange chicken, but this one gives me diarrhea.

  11. I’d like to see how ol’ Donnie Trump gets himself out of this mess this time. I mean, I DON’T want to see that, but it’s worth wondering about.

  12. Just have Kamala ask at the very beginning of the debate to have open mics. Let’s see what Trump has to say.

  13. Hopefully Harris gets the final words and all Trump can do is get mad and not speak after Kamala eviscerates him with a final speech and drops the mic.

  15. The longer this goes on, the more I’m convinced that the Harris campaign really doesn’t particularly care whether the mics end up muted or not, and that they’re soley doing this to relentlessly troll the Trump campaign, highlight internal fractures, and promote infighting.

  16. Put all of this mocking right into my fucking veins. It’s been a long decade.

  17. Trump’s campaign manager probably thinks that a Trump staffer will control both mute buttons. If it was CNN or Fox News*, they would be right.

  19. He is definitely going to drop the N word with a hard R.

  20. His PR team is probably fearful of him calling her a slur on stage. This is honestly some funny shit

  21. I love this where has this sass been all my life in the Democratic Party

  22. There’s a simple solution here. Keep the mics hot, and when it’s *not* your turn to talk, STFU.

  23. I love this! Diaper Donald getting his own treatment

  24. *‘His own team wants to shut him up’*

    Well, this is absolutely…

    … true.

  25. I can’t wait to see his reactions when she calls him a criminal and rapist. It was super fun watching it last time when Joe did it and it is so clear that he is very bothered by it.

  26. His own team doesn’t trust him with a microphone on, and we’re supposed to trust him with our lives.

    You can’t make this shit up

  27. They should mock his campaign.

    Clearly they are in disarray, keeping Trump out of important decisions about his own campaign. Allowing him to say he wants the mic on when *they* want it off. Lol. Classic.

    I bet the Harris campaign can goad Trump into stating he will debate with it on before the 10th.

  28. Im loving the Harris campaign because they know how and when to poke the orange bear…. Shit like this is just gonna escalate the whole situation in Trump’s head, as if it wasn’t already a mess. Harris and her campaign are putting real pressure on Trump to just shut his mouth. Something he is incapable of doing.

  29. Harris wants the mics on, Trump wants the mics on. Trumps staff don’t.

    How is Trump expected to negotiate with world leaders when he can’t even negotiate with his own staff?

  31. This is gold! Literally starting shit in a rivals campaign. Let them sort out the mess.

  32. Same reason he didn’t testify in his felony trial.

  33. This is just perfect. They’re trying to create infighting between Trump and his managers and I’m 100% sure it’s working.

  34. All those years of “the left cant meme” and now its just simple trolls and truths pissing off the right wingers

  36. She’s like a boxer doing laps around him. It’s fabulous.

  37. Okay, I know you all are foaming at the mouth for Trump to drop the N word, but please consider some of us don’t want to hear slurs while we’re watching a debate for the presidency.

    Being called that is not fun. It fills you with this rage-y shame that’s hard to describe. I truly hope it doesn’t happen to Kamala, it’s an ugly thing to experience even if it would help the campaign.

  38. This tactic of putting Trump against his own campaign staff is just amazing to watch.

  39. Every time he opens his mouth next to Kamala it’s going to show what a creepy and weird old man he is.

  41. I firmly believe Trump is terrified of strong smart women.

  42. Harris is banking on TFG dropping a hard N.

    Rightfully so.

    He’s more racist than most of the GOP and that’s really saying something.

  43. Kamala is a MASTER at 4D chess!  She’s gaslighting the biggest gaslighter in U.S. history and it’s driving him into more and more crazy tweet-rage fits.  

    I’m LOVING this!!💕💕 BRILLIANT pre-debate strategy!!🤣
