Trump Takes A Break During Michigan Rally To Mock His Own Combover

Former President Donald Trump took a brief moment at his Saturday rally to poke fun at his own combover, prompting laughter from the audience when he shrugged and said, “It looks okay from the other side.”

Trump took the stage in Grand Rapids, Michigan, exactly one week after a would-be assassin opened fire on his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Before Secret Service counter-snipers were able to neutralize the threat, Trump was shot in the ear and two others were gravely injured, and firefighter Corey Comperatore was killed.

After paying tribute to Comperatore early in his Saturday rally speech, Trump pivoted to campaign issues – but paused to laugh for a moment at his own expense.

WMAL radio host Larry O’Connor shared a brief video along with the following caption: “A self-deprecating Donald Trump making fun of his own comb-over could be the wild card his campaign needs to secure a landslide.”

“I have to just interject, if you would turn off those cameras ’cause I don’t want this, see the screen up there of me?” Trump asked. “That’s very severe, that combover, that’s a severe sucker! What’s with that one? It looks okay from the other side.”

The crowd roared with laughter, and Trump continued: “But that is very severe, I apologize. Man. I looked over, I said whoa. Look at that. Wow. That’s like a work of art.”

He pointed back toward the side he’d said looked “okay,” adding, “Only look at that one, don’t look — “

‘They Have A Couple Of Problems’: Trump Mocks Democrats From Michigan Rally Stage

Former President Donald Trump mocked the chaos in the Democratic Party as more and more prominent Democrats have come forward and called for President Joe Biden to exit the 2024 race.

Trump took the stage in Grand Rapids, Michigan, almost exactly one week after he was targeted and shot by a would-be assassin at a similar rally in Butler, Pennsylvania — and one of the first things he did was to pay tribute to hero firefighter Corey Comperatore, who was shot and killed at that rally when he shielded his family with his own body.

“Corey was a hero, and we will carry his memory in our hearts for all time, great hero,” Trump said, and the crowd erupted in chants of “Corey! Corey! Corey!”

Trump then turned his attention to Biden — and to the Democratic Party, which has been in varying states of disarray since Biden gave a dismal performance in the first debate and followed that up with a series of interviews and public appearances that did nothing to restore public confidence in his ability to continue the 2024 campaign, much less another four years in the presidency.

“They’re going to go to the convention and they have a couple of problems. Number one, they have no idea who their candidate is, and neither do we. That’s a problem.”

“Now we have something coming up where they’re going to go to the convention and they have a couple of problems. Number one, they have no idea who their candidate is, and neither do we. That’s a problem,” Trump said, prompting laughter from the audience.

“But we’ll see, hopefully they get it worked out,” he continued. “Sort of interesting, this guy goes and he gets the votes, and now they want to take it away — they talk about democracy, ‘Let’s take it away from him!'”
