Personally, and more seriously, I’ve always found it weird that we care - the job of president isn’t a personal role… there are directly supporting staff in the hundreds that the president should rely on to not make an ass of the country with diplomatic faux pas or mispronounciations.
Obviously, Trump will inevitably make an ass of himself, but a lot of people have a very difficult job trying to prevent that.
“I didn’t lose, they just cheated” is a retort as old as time. What’s at issue isn’t whether she had an ear bud, its whether she had some undisclosed advantage that might explain how she verbally outmaneuvered Trump.

That’s sort of the joke in all this. He didn’t lose because Harris delivered some brilliant, fluid, soul-capturing oratory that could only have been achieved with a Sereno de Bergerac esque coaching. Honestly, she felt kinda wooden in the very-obviously-rehearsed opening and closing. But Trump lost because he lied out his ass, repeatedly, and everyone else on stage called him on it immediately.
Harris didn’t force him to claim that migrants are going to eat your dog or that infanticide is legal in blue states. That was a totally unforced error on Trump’s part. “She had her airpods in!” is just a deflection from the moments that ruined his appearance on stage.

It’s Cyrano de Bergerac, just FYI.
Also, Trump rambling is hard enough to follow without someone else talking in your ear at the same time…
…as anyone who’s ever had someone talking to you in person while someone else was talking to you on the phone at the same time already knows.
