I really want to hear the room chatter that was happening 5 minutes in. Surely after like 15 the sorts of people there would have been like ‘ok we’re vibing with the supreme leader listening to music, this is cool too’ but after 5 minutes there had to be some confused discussion that would be really funny to hear.
It’s like if you went to church, and the vicar said:
“You know what? I don’t fancy delivering this sermon with moral guidance. Lets just sing 10 hymns in a row.”… Y’all never had that happen?
“The Lord has other plans for the service today, so we’re going to continue in this state of worship.”
Honestly? I love hymns. Especially if the congregation sings in four-part harmony. I’d probably enjoy that more than a sermon.
And everyone would be fine with it because that’s obviously what the Lord wanted him to do.
I’ve read other accounts that apparently two people fainted in the crowd before he decided to play DJ? Is that real?
Everything about this story seems fake and incomprehensible
That’s a misleading picture of it. Two people fainted, then paused for a bit, resumed and switched the format to having a speaker ask him questions. A couple of questions in he said “Let’s not do any more questions. Let’s just listen to music. Who the hell wants to listen to questions” and then wrapped up and seemed like he was done, but processed to bob to music for 39 minutes
The whole town hall is online, you can watch it yourself. Here’s how he spends the last 40 or so minutes https://youtu.be/bDZgox580B0?t=7447
Is there any explanation for why the two people fainted though? That seems like a crazy lead to bury… Was it random?
I mean the choice to stand there and play music is funny, but that whole event sounds like it came straight out of Veep
People standing with their knees locked in a hot room, especially older people. I saw it happen to an honor guard at a veterans function. The guy was old as hell trying to stand in the summer heat and went down.
From the comments made in the town hall, it sounds like the room itself was hot. Given how trump is usually super late to almost all of his events, people were probably standing for a while in a hot room
Lol, how often are people fainting at his events that it’s a complete non-story when it happens twice at one event? And then he thought, “it’s hot in here, let’s just play some music and dance”
What a strange campaign
Sounds remarkably like a fucking Diddy party. Seriously. Dude said he turned up the heat to get people horny or some shit.
It was life on twitch as well. I reported the stream for bigotry
I swear the guy is just limit testing at this point
He has none. The test is for the corporate news. So far they’ve been failing with flying colors.
How is this not an onion article. This is exactly the kind of thing the onion would post!
This was my first real out-loud laugh of the day. Cheers!
In all fairness I’d rather listen to music than hear this idiot talk
If you’re a Republican Voter against Trump, but you’re still going to vote Republican, then you’re not really against Trump are you?
I think they mean they want lower taxes, guns, and no gay marriage, but between trump or a democrat they choose the democrat, Harris in this case.
People are still falling all over themselves to vote for this turd; to buy a huge stars and stripes decal of him and stick it on the back window of their Ford Raptor next to their Three Percenter decal. Buy a huge flag that says Trump 2024 FUCK YOUR FEELINGS and hang it on a flagpole by the front door to their house, on the street with kids riding their bikes outside.
And there’s an ever growing uncertainty about whether or not this meatball is going to actually win or not.
This guy lives on the street behind me. He even has one of those garage projector things with the trump 2024 logo on it that he has up every night and a trump flag for each window of his car.
I’ve got two houses facing each other on my street who have been in a fascist flag competition for as long is I can remember. One of them even has an RFK sign next to his Trump yard sign. But yeah what I described above I saw on my way through a neighborhood in my small town. Its distressing!
That’s a man in need of help.
It’s both amusing and depressing to see all the rugged individuals loudly advertising what a vital subject they are.
They don’t care about Trump, he is just a symbol. Trump getting elected legitimizes what Trump represents, and that is hate.
Success in life means you have God’s (AKA karma/the universe/ect) approval. Becoming the president of the US is the ultimate sign of success and therefore also the ultimate sign of God’s approval.
Having someone who openly and brazenly hates the same stuff you do get elected president is more than just a sign of approval, it is like a high five from Jesus and all the angels. That means that everything awful that Trump has done or is doing doesn’t turn them off of him, instead it’s just the opposite. His hate filled statements, his ties to Epstein, his obvious desire to fuck his own daughter… he is open and blatant about them, but he is still “winning”. And therefore, all of the awful shit he does, and has done, is something that his followers can attain for themselves.

Just vibing.
no questions people, just vibes please
I also like listening to music.
Literally Trump
We are all Trump on this blessed day.
Speak for yourself.
i am ALL trump on this blessed day :)
He’s trying his hand to become a disk jockey because he realized he can just call himself “DJ DJ”
Damn, that’s a great idea.
New plan, we all still vote for Harris, but DJ DJ gets to play the victory party.
(And then he still goes to court, is found guilty, and locked up. DJ DJ in J.)
DOJ puts DJ DJ in da J.
Da Jail, so DJ DJ in DJ
Could we give him some DJ equipment while he’s in there so DJ DJ can DJ in DJ?
Don’t forget, the Department of Justice will have put him there, so DJ put DJ DJ in DJ, now DJ DJ gets to DJ in DJ.
What a genuinely weird thing to do.
Holy shit. It took me a long time to find it, but the video is somehow even weirder than I expected. That’s disturbing.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/10/14/trump-music-sways-town-hall/
“Let’s make it into a music.” ??? And the dog killer next to him with a huge panic-smile for 30 minutes. Local doofuses on stage now thrust into this bizarro . . . meltdown? Senior moment? Looking like they really really want to go home. Wow.
Trump is just trying to stay ahead of the game. US politics are very much vibes based. Trump is going to the next level by literally vibing on stage. Who needs a health care plan when you’ve got vibe. And he is genuinely weird because that’s the Republican vibe, his weird vibe is appealing to his base.
It’s beyond a meme now. It’s just the only way to describe him.
This is the way
The context was that it was after two medical emergencies at the town hall I guess. It’s still weird but there’s a reason it was this derailed.
That makes no more sense than without context. A regular person would resume the town hall after the emergencies passed, or dismissed everyone. Keeping people there and playing random somes for twenty minutes is the action of a child or an idiot.
This is worse than…“Please clap,” by a mile. Jeb was making a joke, but it killed his chances. This should 100% kill his chances at winning…but it won’t. This race makes no sense…
Still doesn’t really explain it. Before he just said to stop asking questions, they had changed the format to just have a speaker ask him questions after resuming from the medical emergencies. He just gave up on it after only a few questions for no obvious reason
The reason is because his brain is mush.
He’s tired? He sure looks like it.
Don’t you think he looks tired?
I sure do, looks like he went from 65 to 90 this summer.
The obvious reason is that he’s not qualified to answer questions so he just avoided them altogether.
Oh I don’t disagree. Just thought it was worth mentioning
So… why wouldn’t he just continue afterwards, like what happens at any other public event that has isolated medical emergencies? Or even cancel/reschedule? Heh.
