On Saturday afternoon, former President Donald Trump saw some sketchy moments with his teleprompter on a wind-swept airfield outside Dayton, Ohio via Business Insider.
During his campaign for the Senate primary on Tuesday, Bernie Moreno, Trump criticized President Biden and the Democrats who defeated him in 2020.
As the teleprompters were seen visibly flapping around in the 35-mile-per-hour wind, Trump complained: “Don’t pay these suckers!” referring to those who’d set them up.
When he struggled to make out his speech and adjusted the teleprompters, he joked: ‘I think Joe Biden put them in!’

He later remarked how brilliant it was “to have a president who doesn’t need a teleprompter,” his subsequent freewheeling speech was sometimes difficult to follow.
Trump has often made word gaffes involving former President Obama told themodestly-sized rally in Ohio, that Joe Biden had once successfully beaten Obama in an election. It was unclear what he meant.
Trump said: “You know what’s interesting? Joe Biden beat Barack Hussein Obama, anybody ever heard of him? Every swing state, Biden beat Obama but in every other state, he got killed.”
