Proving he is indeed following the Democratic Party presidential debate round one in Miami as he flies over the Pacific on Air Force One to the G20 Summit in Osaka, Japan, President Trump slammed co-hosts NBC and MSNBC for an embarrassing audio glitch as Chuck Todd was posing a question that forced a cut to commercial while it was resolved.
Moderators Chuck Todd and Rachel Maddow and the candidates react to audio glitch that delayed debate.
“.@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!”

It could have been worse. As noted here below, a technical problem delayed the Carter-Ford 1976 debate nearly a half-hour.
True fact: One of the 1976 Carter-Ford debates had to pause for 27 minutes due to an audio technical problem. https://t.co/XqWVBumCdJ

Note: Trump deleted the first version of his tweet over a dropped ‘y’ at the end of ‘worthy’.
