Then this dipshit said he wasn’t paying the bill, I mean tell me something we don’t already know…
He can make much more choices resulting in shit of epic proportions.
Like he would have anyway
every time something comes up in politics that i don’t like i just imagine donald trump swaying catatonically to Ave Maria
We’ve seen him handle an actual emergency and it was strikingly similar. It’s good to know he handles even small programs in the same dumbfounded way.
We’re all completely screwed if this crisis generator gets back into office.
What no live music?! Wtf
This time his minders had an excuse prepared.
Weirdly plausible. It only works though if they did this to him on purpose to keep everyone from hearing him speak.
I already commented, but another thought came to mind: Four Seasons Total Landscaping.
That was hilarious…
“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.
That story has been printed weekly since 1995. Who’s he kidding?
Guy probably didn’t even pay for the AC at that event where they were passing out from the heat.
This was my thought when I saw the clip originally
Lol I thought you made that quote up, so I had to check the article. He actually said that lol.
He probably hasn’t been paying all along and is now down to the bottom rung of contractors.
That is correct.
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.Respectfully, as someone in the performing arts, how does no one get paid at a venue with a capacity of 300? A bar venue with a capacity of 30 I’d understand, 50-100 is pushing it. But 300? That’s huge!
I’m doing a gig later in November at an amphitheater with a capacity of 200-300ish or so. The pay is $500 for 6-8 minutes on stage. I’m not even part of production, just a guest performer. The venue I most often perform at nets around $150 per person at capacity (max is 100)
Even if you only charged $10 for entry, that’s a few thousand dollars. There’s enough there to give people something for their work
OK that was misleading.
The artists, sound and light tech obviously get paid. DJs get around 50€ per set, bands 200€, technicians 70€ per night. No one who lives off their art performs there, except sometimes as a favor cause they like the place. It’s very much a stage for hobby musicians. The money pays for their cost to get there and back, and they also get fresh-cooked food and a place to sleep.
The bar and door are staffed by volunteers who get free entrance and drinks, and the venue is managed by volunteer members, who get to hang out there whenever they like, at a very unique place.Entrance fee is between 5€ for a night with only DJs to 10€ for a night with 3 bands. A beer costs 1,50€, soft drinks 1€, long drinks 4€.
It only works out because of the massive amount of unpaid work done behind the scenes, lots of connections to professionals willing to help out for free cause they like the place, tax-exempt status, a special deal with the local brewery, and relatively cheap rent.And the capacity is 300 for the main stage. Together with the second stage, outdoor stage and bonfire area (if the weather is good), we can let in 600 people.
Inb4 hang mic pence
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.
I guess these are those “the best people” that we’ve heard mentioned so many times.
He ever said he wanted to fix anything? I thought he just wanted to be in power so he can grab more pussy.
He didn’t play music this time?
“and now…racist shitbag music.”
Kid rock covers Ave Maria?
Now he’s got a reason not to pay for the event.
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 we’ll have a story that Trump didn’t pay the bill to a contractor.”
Might be the only truthful thing trump said during the event
I too want to give my business to Trump Media And TECHNOLOGY company. Only the best
Proper soundcheck + mic 2 and I’ve never had more than 15 seconds of dead time in past 10 years.
Looks like they had a second mic, but it didn’t work either
My money is on someone pulling the plug mid speech
But you know, you, you get paid.
As a 20+ year audio professional, the only way this happens is an engineer that either doesn’t know what they’re doing at all (so not a pro) or they aren’t getting paid enough and are very vindictive.
Literally thousands of open mic nights across the country run by teenagers getting paid nothing do a better job of preparing that this.
I applaud whoever fucked this up cause honestly, fuck that guy.
As an amateur with an audio interface and a few mics - you don’t need to know all that much to avoid that mistake.
i call BS. i think the dude is worn out and milking the campaign trail for what it’s worth. we both know that there’s no way any professional sound crew would ever let this happen.
I’m a broadcast engineer, specifically an A1. There is absolutely 0 chance there wasn’t a spare working mic. The only way the whole system fails if some moron over loaded and tripped the amps.
Why waste money on a pro when the deputy campaign manager’s cousin, who is very big in the audio, can do it for campaign merch and free soda?
I mean, I know that’s tongue in cheek, but the results is the reason why.
“Failed mic.”
Yea, easy conspiracy. He can’t speak for long periods of time, so manufacture sound issues.
I like mics that didn’t fail.
“Mic the loser” they call him.
