Trump campaign press secretary Hogan Gidley dodged on Thursday morning when asked if President Donald Trump will comply with the rules allowing each candidate two minutes of uninterrupted speaking time, which will be enforced by muting the other person’s mic, during his final debate with Democratic challenger Joe Biden.
In other words, of course he’s not going to respect the mute rule. Who in their right mind ever imagined that he would?
I don’t understand this. It’s a mute button, it mutes the mic. Is Trump just going to yell so he’s heard in Biden’s or ambient mics?
The delusional dipshit probably thinks he nailed the first debate and won’t change a thing. What are the odds be brings a megaphone?
God, I hope he does. My biggest fear is he acts like a normal human being (though, my fears tend to be somewhat irrational).

So counterpunching means interrupting and being a giant boob.
I shall respect my mute button.
Respecting the mute button …
SPOILER ALERT: He won’t.
So he’s going to yell and rant loud enough that Biden’s and the moderators mikes pick up his nonsense?? Oh dear god I hope he does this!
Also: I hope Joe and the moderator laugh right at him and ask, “what are you doing?”
Maybe a soundproof booth for potus.
They’re only like 12 feet apart. Biden will hear him just fine, and his goal is to throw him off. We may or may not hear exactly what he’s saying, but we’ll all see the action on the split screen.
I’m just saying the President is a counter-puncher,” the campaign spokesperson said. “And if you’re going to lie about him he’s going to call you out for it.”
Trump is free to counter-punch (i.e., lie) so long as he uses his own two minute allocation to do it.
Don’t worry.
He’s not that good an actor.
And he’s utterly incapable of doing it.
He’s going to yell and try to get Biden to interrupt himself to answer Trump’s yelling or address him in some way. I would guess that Biden and his people have practiced that scenario as part of their debate prep. It doesn’t seem likely that he could drown Biden out.
He’s smuggling in a Mister Microphone.
Lower than the odds of him having the secret service wire him into the auditorium loudspeaker system, so when his regular mic is cut, he gets to do the booming voice of God.
Narrator: It turns out that he couldn’t control himself for 2 seconds let alone 2 minutes. He started shouting before Joe Biden opened his mouth the first time. What followed is still discussed as the “Tranquilizer Dart Incident.”
“No red-blooded American is going to stand by anyone and allow them to lie about them."
However, the president is orange-blooded. Apparently, that’s even worse.
Well if the Guardian hadn’t spilled the beans there’s someone who could have muted Trump’s tweets.
