President Trump trolled NBC this morning for its technical glitch during last nights Democratic debate.
During the second hour of the debate, an audio glitch forced debate moderators Chuck Todd and Rachel Maddow to cut to a commercial break.
This morning, President Trump tweeted an edited version of the NBC hosts reacting to the technical glitch, which then cuts to the president taking over the debate stage to the song “Crazy Train” by Ozzy Osbourne.

Fox News writes:
“I think we had a little mic issue in the back,” Todd said as he looked towards the control room at the back of the venue, latter adding “We have the audience on.”
As Todd attempted to continue with his question on gun control, microphone issues continue to be easily detected. Many of the candidates smiled awkwardly while others like Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn, began laughing.
“What is happening?” Maddow asked.
“We are hearing our colleagues’ audio,” Todd exclaimed. “If the control room can turn off the mics… if the control room can turn off the mics of our previous moderators…”
“You know, we prepared for everything,” Maddow sheepishly said. “We did not prepare for this.”
“We’re going to take a quick break, we’re gonna get this technical situation fixed,” Todd promised viewers.

Last night, after the glitch, President Trump slammed NBC for the snafu, writing, “@NBCNews and @MSNBC should be ashamed of themselves for having such a horrible technical breakdown in the middle of the debate. Truly unprofessional and only worthy of a FAKE NEWS Organization, which they are!”
