Donald Trump was annoyed by flies at an Iowa rally.

Trump had been speaking about the attacks by Hamas, when he abruptly decided to shift the topic to flies and animal cruelty.

"People who support this and people who (waves away fly) sympathize with this are sick," he said of the tragic events happening in Israel. "They’re sick and they’re evil. And they’re not going to be fixed, you’re not going to make them into wonderful people one day."

Despite the odd topic, Trump may not have as much as usual to talk about in the coming months. Trump's odd tirade about insects comes one day after a judge issued a partial gag order to keep him from "publicly targeting" Department of Justice Special Counsel Jack Smith, as well as member of Smith's team and others related to his his federal January 6 trial in Washington, D.C.

"First Amendment protections yield to the administration of justice and to the protection of witnesses," the judge said at the time. "His presidential candidacy does not give him carte blanche to vilify … public servants who are simply doing their job."

Trump spoke out against the gag order on Monday, October 16, claiming that "they think the only way they can catch me is to stop me from speaking."

"They want to take away my voice and a judge gave a gag order today," he told his audience. "You know what a gag order is? You can’t speak badly about your opponent. But this is weaponry all being done because Joe Biden is losing the election and losing very, very badly to all of us in the polls. He’s losing badly."
