Maybe it was the G4 geomagnetic storm that caused the technical issues….or maybe it’s just Trump, lolol….Like the press conference and the non-existent crowds at Harris events, Trump swings for the fences and strikes out again…..
At least he took advantage of the opportunity to praise to the heavens the most evil, brutal, murderous dictators in the entire world. Because that’s what his followers want. Right? That’s what they like about Donald?
The fact that Kim told Trump he does not like “stupid man” Biden is essentially the same as Kim telling Trump: “I think you’re a chump, you can be my useful idiot anytime!”.
Donald Trump's campaign took another hit with a disastrous, glitchy X interview with Elon Musk that left many wondering if the former president is OK.

For a fascism-curious billionaire who loves cuddling up to right-wing loons,
Elon Musk sure is good at making right-wing politicians look stupid.
Former President Donald Trump had loudly trumpeted a planned
Monday night interview with Musk that would stream on X. But much like the disastrous X-platformed launch of Florida Gov.
Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign, the
Musk/Trump interview failed to launch, leaving social media users laughing at the collective incompetence.
Since Vice President Kamala Harris rose to the top of the Democratic presidential ticket last month,
Trump’s reelection campaign has been flailing. His childish attacks against her aren’t working. His racist comments about her mixed-race heritage have repelled all but his most loyal supporters. His vice presidential pick,
JD Vance, becomes less likable every time he speaks.
So his answer, weirdly, was to sit down with Musk and talk to what would undoubtedly be a very online audience that doesn’t represent the broader electorate. Had the conversation gone off without a hitch, it still would have been odd and largely useless for Trump’s effort to halt Harris’ momentum.
Elon Musk claimed technical issues were caused by a Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attack which is designed to force a website, computer, or online service offline.

“The tech billionaire could be heard laughing through large sections - no more so than when Mr Trump claimed "illegal immigration saved my life".
The Republican nominee told how he had turned his head to look at an illegal immigration chart during the rally on 13 July - meaning gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks missed”.
