You obviously know little about electronics. The size cable required
to carry the signal from a small microphone is absolutely tiny, a
small fraction of the size that headphone cables need to be (since
they carry many times more current, and are MUCH larger than they need
to be since the limitation is physical, not electrical).

Same thing with headphone cables, since the current they carry is
minuscule.

Uh huh... pehaps you could tell us all WHY the POTUS would be wearing
a wire at all

So that someone could tell him what to say, in case he forgot the
script, or the subject matter strayed from it. You don;t really
expect Shrub to sound sane extemporaneously, do you? He doesn't do
that good a job of it when he's reading a prepared statement.

So, if the "wire" was going to his EAR, why would there be an
invisible wire going to an invisible earpiece, and a cable the size of
a pencil running outside his shirt under his tie???

And if it did NOT go to his ear, how did he hear the output of
whatever was hooked to that monster cable, without it being picked up
by the sensitive microphones on the podium?

This whole thing is silly beyond words, IMHO.
