At one point in the rally, Donald Trump complained about the microphone and told the crowd that the stand was too low.

The GOP nominee said, "I came in today, I said, and, you know, this is after four of these things I’ve been in all fairness. I mean, I’m a human being, right? I come in, and here’s the problem."

Earlier in the rally, the 78-year-old ripped the microphone from the podium in frustration to hold it closer to his mouth. He said, "I think this mic stinks. And then we don’t pay the contractor. I say don’t pay the contractor then they write a story, Trump doesn’t pay his bills, he’s a bad guy."

The crowd cheered as Trump continued, "I don’t mind if they want to come up a little forward or something but it’s a pretty stupid situation, but that’s OK."

He continued, "I get so angry, I’m up here seething. I’m seething, I’m working my a** off with this stupid mic. I’m blowing out my left arm. Now I’m going to blow out my right arm, and I’m blowing out my damn throat too, because of these stupid people."
