Trump tweets bizarre Democratic debate meme from Air Force One moments before landing in Japan for G20
Just moments before landing in Japan for the G20, Donald Trump tweeted a bizarre video mocking technical mistakes at the first Democratic presidential debate.
Audio issues plagued Wednesday night’s televised debates, forcing NBC moderators Chuck Todd and Rachel Maddow to call a commercial break to fix the issue.
“We are hearing our colleague’s audio,” Todd said as voices were heard off-screen in the auditorium and presidential candidates, including Elizabeth Warren, watched on confused.
On Thursday morning, Mr Trump tweeted a mocked up video of the incident, which showed the screen go blank before a silhouette of Mr Trump emerges through the gloom clapping in front of an image of Trump supporters. Ozzy Osbourne’s song Crazy Train can be heard in the background.
“Thank you @MSNBC, real professionals!” tweeted Mr Trump, who included the Twitter handles of Todd and Maddow.
