Confused Trump Accuses ‘Radical Left’ Of Hacking His Phone During Prayer Meeting

During an online prayer meeting this week featuring his disgraced friends Roger Stone and Michael Flynn, Donald Trump's cell phone cut out while he was calling into the event. He called back a few moments later and continued, but not before claiming that "the radical left" had somehow hacked his phone. At first it seemed like a joke, but Trump's tone made it clear that he was actually blaming mythical hackers for dropping a call. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses the level of paranoid delusions that Trump seems to be laboring under.

On Monday of this week, Donald Trump joined in via phone call a pastors for Trump National prayer call that was also broadcast live on YouTube. And while Trump was called in talking to people like Roger Stone and Michael Flynn, who were also a part of this prayer call, Trump was asked by the leader of the group, like, what specifically do you want us to pray for right now? And at that point, there was a little bit of kind of jumbled noises before Donald Trump's call was completely dropped, and Trump immediately believed that the quote Radical left, had somehow hacked the phones. He of course, rejoined the call a few moments later. You know, he just called back. It wasn't that difficult. And he said, quote, okay, I guess we have some phone miscommunication. And I think what happened was the radical left was working on the phone. There is no question about it.

And of course, he, he didn't provide any additional information. He just said, yeah, my call got dropped. Which is something that everybody who's ever been on a telephone knows, happens. Like that's not outta the realm of possibility. But no, in this particular instance, it wasn't because Donald Trump's fat thumb accidentally slid across the hangup button. It's not because he walked off into an area of his Mar-a-Lago or wherever the hell he is, that had worse reception. It's not because of an issue with satellites or 5G towers. No, no, no, no. It's because the radical left, somehow hacked into the phones.

It gets even dumber. The, uh, the leader of the prayer call had this to say, he said, everything froze on our end. I think the system got overloaded with the number of viewers. So he's blaming the trolls backstage as he went on to tell The Daily Beast. Oh yeah. I mean, it was on YouTube and then so many people logged in. It was the trolls logging in that kinda overloaded the system. That's that, that's, that's really not how that would work if people were just watching it on YouTube. Like overloading YouTube is not going to cause Donald Trump's phone to cut out. Um, I, I, I'm assuming that these idiots don't, don't know how YouTube works. YouTube has their own servers. They got a lot of them, like videos can handle lots of viewers, like hundreds of thousands, possibly millions at a time without overloading the servers. Now I'm saying all of this and pointing out the stupidity

Because I, I've worked in studios. I, I've worked back in the day, instead of doing these videos for YouTube, we actually hosted them ourselves. We had our own servers, and one time we did get a video that went kind of crazy and we had tens of thousands of people on it, and it overloaded our little bitty tiny servers. So the whole site went down for a bit. So yes, it's a thing that could happen, but it's not a thing that's gonna happen with YouTube because they're not an operation paying a guy to host a server in his house like we had to back in the day.
