    I would love for her to start calling out the hypocrisy of the media to treat Trump as normal

    Steven Cheung on X called the event a total “lovefest” with everyone “so excited they were fainting”

    Cheung is truly reprehensible.

  3. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.axios.com/2024/10/15/trump-town-hall-music-medical-emergencies) reduced by 73%. (I’m a bot)
    *****
    > Former President Trump resorted to having songs played for over half an hour at his Pennsylvania town hall after two separate medical emergencies interrupted the event, which was cut short on Monday night.

    > Driving the news: Trump was holding the town hall at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center and Fairgrounds in Oaks, Pa., with South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem when the first medical incident occurred about 30 minutes into the event.

    > The Harris campaign shared clips on X from Trump's town hall, saying he told his supporters "To go out and vote on 'January 5th,'" rambled about the fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter, "[a]cted confused when asked if they should end the event and play a walk off song" and stood "Frozen and silent on stage as music played for 30+ minutes and the crowd poured out of the venue.”

    He wanted to show off is double air dicking to more folks.

    He thinks so little of voters he just wanted to prove that he can air masturbate (airturbate?) in public and get away with it because his simps **really** are that stupid.

    So, in a way, he’s ok – also he proved his point because I bet the ~~fart-water~~ watch-buying idiots are all double air dicking along with him.

  5. I am now thoroughly convinced the Trumpers would “Weekend at Bernie’s” Trump through the election, should he pass before election day gets here. And he probably wouldnt lose any cultist votes either.

  6. A black man became president, and the blowback was Trump. If a black/Indian woman becomes president, how will they then punish us?

  7. trump couldnt talk anymore due to brain freeze so he did his trumpty trump dance. that cleared the place out

    Harris needs to stop patronizing Trump and take him seriously. The arrogance is starting to resemble Hillary and we all know how that went.

  9. * *The Republican presidential nominee asked for “****Ave Maria****” to be played following the first incident at the exhibition center after calling for a doctor, and an instrumental version of the song was played.*
    * *After the second disruption, Trump joked “would anybody else like to faint?” before requesting “****Ave Maria****” again and saying he wished someone could open the doors.*
    * *He then asked for Italian opera singer* ***Luciano Pavarotti’s version of the song*** *to be played and for it to be turned up louder, a request that was obliged by his staff.*

    Well that’s just fucking weird. Worst music festival ever

  10. Media needs to add context to these headlines. The music was played in lieu of more questions, and lasted for more than half of the TOWN HALL – where Q&A is the focus. Even the event host looked puzzled and confused.

  11. And the sane-washing NYTimes calls it a rare glimpse into the private side of tRump, who is known to play DJ for friends and family evenings at Mar-a-Turd-o. WTF is wrong with the NYTimes???

  12. we should set up a ramp for trump and kamala to race up. whoever wins is president. so easy.

    trump wouldnt even get halfway up, hed just poop his diaper

    I genuinely hope he is too. It would be so much better for the world for him to lose this election with no excuses for MAGA to fall back on and no new figure to refocus on and rally behind.

    lol that’s a perfect response. No need to kick him down further. Take the high road.
