Donald Trump faces teleprompter mishap at Michigan rally
According to Newsweek, there was quite an embarrassing moment at a campaign rally in Michigan where the former US president had a meltdown over teleprompters.
Trump, who had earlier mocked President Biden for using them, struggled to conduct his speech smoothly when a gust of wind sent one teleprompter flying out of his view in Freeland, Michigan.
As per Newsweek, as Trump was listing his policy goals, the teleprompter mishap threw him off his words. He said, "Whether you're conservative or you're liberal, it's about common sense. We want to have strong borders, we want to have low-interest rates, we want to have a powerful military, we want to have ... we want to have great ... by the way, it's windy as hell up here!"

In a moment of irritation, Trump asserted, "I'm getting very little use out of these stupid teleprompters. Can you imagine if Biden was up here and the teleprompters didn't work? He's no good even when they do work ... It still doesn't work."
Later, as he discussed legal troubles, the teleprompter trouble resurfaced, prompting more complaints from Trump as he moved to adjust it manually, Newsweek reports.
In frustration, Trump conveyed, "This teleprompter is facing you, not facing me. These teleprompters are just gonzo, folks! They're gonzo!"
