  1. The “musical twist” is Trump ending Q&A because he would rather stand on stage and listen to music for over thirty minutes.

    Is he losing the ability to function? Is it some kind of weird power move over his audience?

    Plus he got upset because people in the audience had fainted and the event was interrupted so they could get medical care.

  2. They are underplaying this. Dude literally ‘danced’ for a solid 45 minutes or so instead of taking questions at a *town hall*. It was bizarre.

  3. > “Turn it up. Great song,” Trump told supporters at a cavernous expo center in suburban Philadelphia as Jeff Buckley’s cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” blared from the speakers.

    I didn’t see that one coming

    > “Nothing compares to you,” Trump mouthed to the crowd as O’Connor’s haunting vocals on “Nothing Compares 2 U” rang out in the room and her music video played on the screens.

    yeah, he was asked not to do that

    > “It is no exaggeration to say that Sinead would have been disgusted, hurt and insulted to have her work misrepresented in this way by someone who she herself referred to as a ‘biblical devil.’ As the guardians of her legacy, we demand that Donald Trump and his associates desist from using her music immediately.”

  4. > During the Q&A portion of the event, Trump was asked by a pair of supporters how he planned to make housing more affordable and how he would provide relief to small-business owners. Both times he answered by touting his plans to cut energy costs.

    > “We’re going to drill, baby, drill,” Trump said. “We’re going to get the energy down. When the energy comes down, prices are going to come down.”

    Russian Roulette Donald: Dancing, gibberish, or threats. Choose wisely, America.

  5. What the actual fuck, this should be late night breaking news. That was not just a strange musical twist.

    It was a presented candidate participating in a q&a who answered four questions. He had the capacity to answer four questions…

  6. So what next? Him losing the ability to do speeches entirely and him just dancing to the music?

    This is not the sign of someone who should be campaigning. This is clearly someone who is…not right in the head to say the least.

    If this is what he is like during his town hall, hooooo boy I wonder what he will be like during his MSG rally. That shit will be looooong, and if he repeats this behavior at the MSG rally…

  7. I watched some of the footage. It was bizarre in every way. But I kept getting hung up on the giant screen behind the stage that said, in all caps, “TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING.”

  8. The msm has GOTTA pick this up.

    1. He’s ducking the town hall by avoiding questions
    2. He sounds like he’s slurring his words at one point.
    3. He stands around bobbing to music … around 10 songs… for over 30 MINUTES.

    He is far from well. Far from normal.

  9. Like paying to watch a comedy show where the comedian decides they don’t want to do anything but listen to music on their phone the entire show.

  10. “Donald Trump’s Town Hall was a clear example of Donald Trump sundowning right on stage.”

  11. I scrolled through the full video and did anyone else notice that, when standing up, he’s almost always holding on to the back of his chair or the handrails to those stage steps?

  12. “The literal translation of the Italian tune, Con te partirò is I will leave with you, suggesting instead that no matter where the lovers in the song are going, they will be going together.” – classicfm.com

    WTF is going on! Why is this being normalized, but Biden’s debate performance was dissected like a medical corpse? Did we all really die in 2012? Are we in hell? I must have been a despicable human being in my past life to end up here.

  14. I feel regardless of what Donald Dump does, apart from maga, bigots will still vote from him because he’s a man. I bet so many Americans are still stuck in the belief that a woman can’t be president.

    I haven’t seen a single fucking headline that points out the bizarre standing there for 30 plus minutes aspect of this

    Edit: finally saw one

  16. I assume this will be on the back page of the NYT if they even mention it.

    The dementia is obvious to everyone except the MSM and his cult.

  17. As usual, this was a staged town hall, with predetermined questions and all Trump had to do was repeat the same shit he always says, to the same questions always asked, and sure enough he fucks it up with a song and dance.

  18. The only reason I know this is real and not something out of the mind of David Lynch is the song selection.

  19. This was trending on tik tok live 95k people watching 10 mins in to the song n dance bullshit 2k people watching the stream

  20. I remember when Fox News raged for a week when Obama wore a tan suit. Imagine how they would melt down if Biden did this

  21. The Harris campaign should get a website and keep playing the about 45 minutes of the video straight … on loop. Bizarre.

    Trump music video.com or awkward Trump.com

  22. The fact we are 3 weeks out and it’s close to call still makes me physically sick to my stomach. If this Country votes this abhorrent POS back into office I hope it’s ready for the consequences of his actions. Goddammit.

  23. He could literally pull a gun and shoot one of his cult followers in the face on tv and the media would come out with a headline like “Trump ends rally with a small fun surprise – why this is bad for Harris” I am not American but it’s insane how blatantly the media is excusing absolutely everything he does, but if Harris even blinks the wrong way they are on her neck about it.

  24. Well he finally succeeded. He finally turned into his dad. Not sure if he realised it would be the version that was riddled with Alzheimer’s, but he did it.

  25. I am a paid, working DJ and this is the most bizarre shit on earth. This is just a weird fucking thing for a lot of people to hang out in a room and do together. I am so afraid for my country.

    Why didn’t he want to participate in his own town-hall? I don’t get it, it’s his own voters asking him questions right? Is he trolling at this point thinking he’s still going to win? lol

  27. How about instead of a cutesy title the news reports it more accurately. Donald Trump behaves like a lunatic and refuses to continue answering questions.

  28. Tonight on the 11 o’clock news: Donald Trump answers 4 questions and dances for 30 minutes during his town hall. More on how this is bad for Harris in a moment.

    I remember when Mitch McConnell shut down during a live press conference and all media outlets jumped on it for a week…this is the Rep. candidate using a town hall q&a to dance awkwardly to music for 30+ min.

    I’m tired of being gaslit on him being a legitimate potential President. This headline treats this serious concern as something whimsical.

  30. This is something Putin or another dictator would pull, because it is absolutely not about the people in the audience and their best interests. It’s always about the man and his needs being met, like a ducking infant.
