Donald Trump tried to hold a rally in the Bronx, but given that his lawyers are a big part of his campaign contributions, Trump's rally was filled with audio and video tapes.

Here is an example of a video from Trump's rally.

C-SPAN had to drop live coverage of a Trump rally because the stream's signal was so weak it dropped. These are issues that didn't bother Trump's previous campaigns because the candidate had money.
Trump's style has always been tacky, but he understands video presentation, and those problems weren't there when he was spending money on these rallies. In 2024, Trump is using public venues, smaller and cheaper venues, and those venues may not have the technological infrastructure to broadcast a presidential campaign.
As long as Trump continues to pay criminal defense attorneys, these technological problems may continue or worsen. There's another problem with Trump's 2024 campaign filing. Compared to the Biden-Harris campaign, Trump's campaign looks cheap and condescending. This was not the case in 2016 or 2020, but the financial difficulties of the Trump campaign are becoming known and visible to the American people.
