The election is in three weeks, and Pennsylvania is a must-win state for both Trump and Kamala Harris, but during a rally last night in Montgomery County, northwest of Philadelphia, Trump got bored with the event, billed as a “town hall,” and just played music for almost 40 minutes, scowling, smirking, and swaying onstage. Trump is no stranger to surreal moments, yet this was one of the oddest of his political career.
This kind of behavior would have resulted in discussion of dementia and Alzheimers if it was a Democrat.
I’m strongly opposed to Trump but these headlines seem like a real stretch. It seems a couple of medical emergencies in the crowd interrupted things and music was played while Trump waited on stage, then at the end he stuck around while more music was played. He looked awkward, grooving along, but this isn’t what “Trump Breaks Down Onstage” suggests.
Disagree, I watched it live and it was bizzare. Yes, they had a couple medical situations that the experts handled, but Trump was fumbling pre planned questions read off queue cards and answers from a teleprompter, he was an hour late starting, he kept leaning funny in his chair, he screwed up the election date, and other basic info, then when he said they would take more questions he immediately said to just play music, and he stood there swaying for 39 minutes, sometimes looking like he might wander off, and his facial expressions looked like he was on drugs, like he was trying them on in a mirror or making them to see how they felt.
It honestly looked like they just rolled him out of the care home on a day pass. Like they might be walking him back to his ward after enjoying a good listen to his favorite old tunes.
I’ve long said that he is just as cognitively sound or unsound this year as before, but I’ve changed my view after last night. Trump is in serious decline.
Is it possible to cover up “serious decline” with a serious dose of uppers? I’ve assumed he is on a steady diet of pills ever since he accused Biden of only being able to stay awake if they put him on meds.
Maybe this is how he is when his meds wear off.
That worked eight years ago but I think he’s too far gone now.
Everything you’ve mentioned could have been said about him over the past six years. There is nothing strange about him in this video. If anything, I found him to be quite relaxed and enjoying himself among his MAGAteers.
Yea, I mean he seemed as relaxed as you can get at music night in the care home.
Did you read the article? They’re suggesting he has dementia/significantly decreased mental faculties. There were 2 medical emergencies, yes, but those were done and over with and he still chose to declare he wouldn’t be taking questions after all and made his staff put on his favorite playlist for the rest of the “townhall.” To me, that’s the sign of someone who has broken down and just straight up isn’t fit to lead anyone, let alone a country (his horrible policies aside).
Did you watch the video?
No one should believe everything they read.
I did watch the video. A sane person says “Sorry folks, that’s all for today, here’s where we’ll be next time.” You don’t stand on stage for nearly 30 minutes at a public event where you’re supposed to be answering questions just swaying back and forth like it’s prom night at the senior center.
It’s just an incredibly bizarre occurrence in a long line of other incidents that have people concerned about his mental faculties.
Sounds a lot like you didn’t watch the video.
Guess we saw different videos, then.
na you just dont know how to relax and have a good time in an environment you don’t enjoy. clearly trump does. the guy is a danger to the country but this isn’t a thing we need to waste our time on, just makes you look like a incredibly maladjusted person.
It was like 40 minutes of trump wiggling around to shitty music after saying he doesn’t want any more questions.
There are layers of weirdness on it. Watch it. It is weird inside crazy wrapped up in bizarre.
