Some technical issues in Kenosha to start rally no. 4. Trump complains about his microphone and the crowd yells that it can't hear him in the back.
Trump switches mics, slams the one affixed to the lectern down, informs the crowd they're witnessing history: "This is the first time I've ever used a hand-held."
Trump stream-of-consciousness on possibly losing to Biden:
"Is this guy really thinking about? Could he really win? Are we serious about this? [Boos] What the hell is going on? Are we serious? Guy has no clue. He's shot."
"Is this guy really thinking about? Could he really win? Are we serious about this? [Boos] What the hell is going on? Are we serious? Guy has no clue. He's shot."
Mic issues again!
A WH staffer comes up to fix it and Trump works the crowd, taunting the staffer -- "I'll give you the name of his company, never use his company."
"How's he doing? He's doing a good job, right?"

After all that, he's still using the hand-held mic. And now veering from the Hunter Biden portion of remarks to debate moderator criticism.
Just picked up the prompter and mispronounced "corrupt" as "cor-ripped," then played it off.
He's seeming a bit tired, and no doubt annoyed by the technical stuff.

The usual Kamala riff: "She wants to be your first female president. I don't think so."
More Trump complaints about Biden and his being the Dem nominee: "He doesn't have supporters. The guy is shot. There's an ideology that has supporters and he's just a vessel. He happened to be the one who got through..."
Trump now reminiscing about his 2016 victory in Wisconsin, very specific aspects of TV news coverage and Dems being sad.
"Remember the woman crying in the convention center?"

Now he's going on about Lara Trump delivering NC in 2016. Just remarkable how much of the 2020 closing argument is a nostalgia tour about four years ago. Rally crowd seems to love it, but...
Trump: "They spied on my campaign...let's see what happens to them...
"Barack Hussein Obama and Sleepy Joe Biden...we'll have to see what happens to them."
"Barack Hussein Obama and Sleepy Joe Biden...we'll have to see what happens to them."
Trump: "Early is good. Ballot is not good."
Trump goes off on Pennsylvania vote counting, suggests full results not coming on Election Night will lead to violence. 
"Maybe I shouldn't be speaking this way," he continues.
Says "hopefully [SCOTUS'S] wisdom will prevail and they'll do something about it."
And makes clear he's spun up about this because he was watching a discussion of this on TV while on AF1.

Just played that montage again in Kenosha and Trump stood at the lectern cracking up as it played.
