The latest complaint we’re seeing from journos covering President Trump’s MAGA rallies is that the pre-game music is just too damn loud. Here’s Jim Acosta from last week:
Tonight the Trump campaign/WH turned up the music so loud the press risers were vibrating. Nearly impossible to do live TV. I suppose the WH loves those kinds of shenanigans. But I wonder if it’s a security concern for USSS or local law enforcement. They can’t hear either.

And reporters last night in Wisconsin complained about the music’s volume as well:
The music is so loud at this rally that everything is vibrating. It’s actually uncomfortable (and I’ve been to tons of rallies. )

A Trump takeaway: I have not heard "Sweet Chile O' Mine" played this loud since high school

Trump has ended his speech, which lasted a little over an hour and 15 minutes. I will have story on his speech posted soon.
"You Can't Always Get What You Want" is exceedingly loud.

NBC’s Kelly O’Donnell even used “science” to prove just how loud it is in the arena:
Rally science. The music was so loud here that my soda was dancing due to vibrations when no one touched the table. pic.twitter.com/rvGYN8abA4

Exit question: How soon until the traveling press corps files an OSHA complaint?
