Chances are, you thought Donald Trump’s fantasy of having Liz Cheney assassinated was dangerous and alarming — another disturbing example of how he dreams of taking revenge on political opponents.

And if you weren’t shocked by the racist rally jokes and remarks about Latinos, Blacks and Jews and others during Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden a week ago, you probably were — at least — stunned by the political stupidity of it all.

But even as Trump’s rhetoric grows darker and more unhinged as election day approaches on Tuesday, and many voters — after nine years of insults and lies — have become numb to it, maybe you still thought Trump crossed a line with his comments about golfing legend Arnold Palmer’s penis.

Well, it turns out the 78-year-old former president and Republican presidential nominee has even more penis comedy material — an impersonation of Linda Lovelace.

Trump, in one of his final rallies on Friday night, simulated sexually stroking and then performing oral sex on his malfunctioning microphone in Milwaukee.

According to Yahoo! News:

Former President Donald Trump used apparent technical issues during a Friday rally to toy with the idea of attacking people working the event in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

“You’ve got to be kidding. Do you want to see me knock the hell out of people backstage?” asked the GOP presidential nominee, who called it a “pretty stupid situation” after rallygoers chanted “fix the mic” during his speech.

He later added: “I get so angry. I’m up here seething. I’m seething. I’m working my ass 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 these stupid people.”

He went on to rant about retired Marine Corps Gen. John Kelly, his former chief of staff, before continuing to fume over the apparent microphone issues.

Trump also complained about the low height of microphone stands at his events and showed how he would work around such issues, bobbing his head up and down in ... an imitation of oral sex.

The comments on Twitter/X were about what you’d expect, although many were too graphic to be posted here:

“Trying to make sure the campaign has a happy ending.”

“These are the book banning folks, right.”

“Evidently, Donald Trump’s final campaign message is ‘Hawk Tuah!’”

“There is something seriously wrong with this person. He’s willing to do or say ANYTHING to get some applause from his sycophantic cult.”

“He finally found something that consents.”

“Tomorrow the press headlines will be: Trump has technical difficulties but gives rousing speech.”

Tom Nicholls, staff writer at The Atlantic, who has written extensively about Trump, including his authoritarianism, tweeted: “This is why Trump voters avoid any news sources outside of their bubble - including Drudge. They know Trump is completely off the rails and mentally unstable. But they want to say ‘Well, I didn’t hear about that. I just like his tax policies.’”
