Attendees at a town hall in Oaks, Pennsylvania, expected the former president and stable genius to take questions and give answers, but instead they got a version of Trump’s deejay party filled with music from his personal playlist.
“Let’s not do any more questions. Let’s just listen to music. Let’s make it into a music. Who the hell wants to hear questions, right?” he said.
*** While it is well-known that we are fatigued with Trump’s failing rallies, the clips below provide evidence that something strangely unique –and marginally entertaining– was happening in Pennsylvania.
When Trump tried to take questions, there were no answers.
In this question regarding inflation, he Trumpsplains how tariffs on perfect President Xi of China will be helpful.
The evening started going haywire when one man in the crowd appeared to faint and required medical attention. Apparently the air conditioning at the venue had failed. Trump requested they play “Ave Maria,” and the song played.
Trump resumed the town hall, but in only a few minutes, another attendee went down for medical attention. “Take your time, doctor,” he said, and “Ave Maria” began to play again. Trump then quipped to the crowd: “Would anybody else like to faint? Please raise your hand. Let’s do it now.”
Nurse Noem attempted to bail Trump out as the program switched to music mode for the painful duration of the event.
“Those two people that went down are patriots, and we love them, and because of them we ended up with some good music, right?” he asked. “So play ‘YMCA!’ Go ahead. Let’s go nice and loud!”
“Here we go, everybody,” Noem interjected.
One of my personal favorite moments from the evening was when they played “Time to Say Goodbye” without so much as batting an eyelash.
