What began as a town hall with Donald Trump turned into a bizarre spectacle, as the former president hosted a 30-minute listening party featuring songs from artists who have previously threatened him with legal action.
The town hall in Oaks, Pennsylvania on Monday night was repeatedly interrupted by medical emergencies, reportedly due to warm temperatures inside of the venue. Rather than continue to answer questions, Trump decided to instead play songs from his personal playlist, including Rufus Wainwright’s version of “Hallelujah,” Sinead O’Connor’s version of “Nothing Compares 2 U,” Oliver Anthony’s “Rich Men North of Richmond,” Guns N’ Roses’ “November Rain,” and James Brown’s “It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World.”
Also played were “Ave Maria,” “Memory” from the musical Cats , Elvis Presley’s “An American Trilogy,” Andrea Bocelli’s “Time to Say Goodbye,” and the Trump rally staple “YMCA.” As seen in clips posted to social media, Trump seemed to thoroughly enjoy the moment, as he bobbed his head, danced, and mouthed along to several song lyrics.
It is worth noting that several of the songs played were done so against the wishes of the artists behind them. Sinead O’Connor’s estate previously hit Trump’s campaign with a cease and desist in March, saying at the time that it would be “no exaggeration to say that Sinéad would have been disgusted, hurt and insulted to have her work misrepresented in this way.” Meanwhile, Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose has repeatedly lashed out against Trump on social media.

I'm surprised he didnt pick the most beautiful woman in the audience to come on stage and dance with him, but I guess Ivanka wasnt there.
They are in a word, ''weird''....
the audience members all had to sign loyalty pledges and non-disclosure agreements ...

Plenty of journalists have covered the fainting. The fact of those people fainting and Trump’s reaction makes it worse. You’d be better off hoping people ignore it.
Trump immediately declared these people to be alright when they hadn’t even been examined. Then he asked the crowd if anyone else felt like fainting, in a tone that sounded like he felt interrupted, or fainting is fun. He then responded to this medical emergency by having his people play his Ave Maria sampler tape, followed by YMCA. There were no more questions in this Town Hall, just Trump trying to turn it into a party. He’s out of his fucking mind.

it's a real bummer that some maga relics can't stay conscious long enough to worship their lord and savior ...
Let’s all sit around and listen to Trump’s mix tape. What the actual fuck. People want to vote for this shit.
he's rapidly approaching a mix tape of musical selections only available in the public domain ...
he should be the first to jump on the untapped trump/maga casket trend ... /s
It went on for 38 minutes!
Imagine what the response would be if this had been Harris.
... uh, mostly racist ...
Much of what Trump does would be seen as an automatic disqualifier for virtually any other politician. But to paraphrase Nixon, 'Well, when Trump does it, that means that it is not a disqualifier'. He leads a cult and whatever the cult leader says is okay, even if it's bat-shit crazy and totally abnormal, the cultists cling to it like its new biblical canon and is chalked up to their leader being 'unique' and 'special'. Let's face it, if the Democratic nominee was a 32 time convicted felon, accused of sexual assault by over two dozen women, had said on tape that he just "grabs" women he finds attractive "by the pussy", had openly called on one of America's foreign enemies to find dirt on the Republican candidate, had paid hundreds of thousands to keep multiple porn stars they'd had an affair with quiet during the campaign, and on top of it all had spent nearly 40 minutes of a town hall dancing like a fool on stage instead of answering any attendees questions, Republicans would be both laughing and outraged that the Democrats had fielded such a monumentally horrid candidate for President. But because he's their guy, they're sucking up to him and cheering him on as if everything's normal and it's the rest of America who must be crazy for not seeing the 'genius' in their candidate.
Totally agree.
It is hard to understand, but xenophobia, racism, anti-feminism, and anti 21st century , explains a lot of it.
It's like a customer of a weed dealer who got busted saying "Yeah, but weed should be legal, and this guy is MY weed dealer..." and then it comes out he was accused of sexually assaulting two dozen women "Yeah, but I mean, can we really believe all those women, I mean, is that really so wrong, and this guy is MY weed dealer..." and then it comes out that he was convicted of 34 felonies and his business partners were convicted of tax evasion and financial crimes, his charity was shut down for fraud and he's caught in dozens of lies to which his customers reply "Yeah, yeah, taxes shmaxes, felonies melonies, at least he had a charity, so what, this guy is MY weed dealer...".
As Trump said himself, "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?".
One has to start to ask, is it Trump that's the problem? Or is it the slimy sycophant supporters who refuse to hold him to account because they simply HATE liberals and progressives SO FUCKING much that they would support a pile of dog shit for President if they felt that would irk those on the left?
We can forget about that picture of Michael Dukakis riding a tank.
Fred Astaire he ain't.
at his current rate of decline, I'd give him about 2 years before he's a footnote in history ...
