He stopped the questions so he could dance on stage. The event is captured on film.
…as people were being carted out.
After. And what better time to fire up “YMCA”, ammirite?
Democrats just can’t be honest.
Not that reality matters to you…

The truly scary part is that the Trump campaign has been channeling Weekend at Bernie’s for months now. As I have said before, Vance is the endgame and this just shows how quickly Trump would be overthrown in favor of his VP.
That rally is tiny and Sinead O’Conner’s family have told Trump numerous times not to play her music.
Also, “Azurations”?
He cut the event short because of the medical emergencies. Is that too hard for a Democrat to understand?
He started dancing to YMCA after the medical emergencies. What a guy.
More appropriate songs?
“I Can’t Stand Up for Falling Down” - Elvis Costello
“Free Fallin’” - Tom Petty
“Rehab” - Amy Winehouse
“I Bet That You Look Good on the Dance Floor” - Arctic Monkeys
“Like a Stone” - Audioslave
“Medicine Show” - Big Audio Dynamite
“Remedy” - The Black Crowes
This is what it looks like when a major news outlet stops being nice, and starts being real.
As Trump stood onstage in his oversize suit and bright red tie, swaying back and forth, it was almost as if he were taking a trip back to decades past. Trump’s decision to cut short the question-and-answer portion of the town hall and instead have the crowd stay to listen to his favorite songs was a somewhat bizarre move, given that the election was only 22 days away. Vice President Kamala Harris has called Trump, 78, unstable and questioned his mental acuity.
Some in the crowd began to leave. Some looked around, wondering whether he was done speaking for the night and how much longer the dance — or sway — session would last. Many stayed holding their cameras and watched as Trump took in the music, at times looking over at a screen beside him that showed videos of James Brown singing “It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World” and Sinéad O’Connor performing “Nothing Compares 2 U.”
The evening began to take a different trajectory when a man appeared to faint in the crowd. Trump paused his remarks. Attendees fanned the man and began to sing “God Bless America.” As the man waited for medical help, Trump mused: “While we’re waiting. So we had a beautiful evening. And I don’t know if they could get this song up quickly, but if they could work really quickly backstage while we’re waiting. ‘Ave Maria*.’”* The song began to play.
…
“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.
The crowd cheered and danced to the Village People song from the 1970s, which celebrates gay cruising culture. Noem put her hands up in the shape of a “Y.” As the song was ending, Trump mouthed the words, “Nobody’s leaving.”
“Nobody’s leaving. What’s going on? There’s nobody leaving. Keep going,” he said, as Rufus Wainwright’s version of “Hallelujah” played next. “All right, turn that music up! Turn that up. Great song!”
Then it was “Nothing Compares 2 U” by Sinéad O’Connor. “An American Trilogy” by Elvis Presley. “Rich Men North of Richmond” by Oliver Anthony. Trump stood and swayed.
As “November Rain” by Guns N’ Roses played, he walked off the stage. He spoke to attendees on his way out, as “Memory” from the musical “Cats” played in the background.
Meanwhile, in The Villages in Florida:
Hallelujah is a song about bad sex. Just a bizarre playlist.

Classic Republican song list more like. Digging the vibes without understanding the words.

Team Trump canceled his scheduled appearance on CNBC. No word on whether this is due to the overwhelmingly positive economic news, or the fact that his brain has gone totally bye-bye.
The fact that the song from Cats is his showstopper is amazing. So bizarre.

I’m mean, just look at this shit:
People are voting (TX starts next week, b.t.dubs). It has to be a landslide, right? RIGHT?
It will never be hilarious to me that all those real men really get down and let it all hang out to the Village People. I knew what that song was about when it first came out, and I was 13.

This was earlier in the day yesterday (I alluded to it above).
“Azurations”
The fact that the GOP keeps running Trump out there as a prop for the benefit of themselves is sad, but also hilariously ironic.
Sometimes I wonder if it’s really hard to be in a cult, or really easy. On the one hand, it’s got to be hard knowing how to interact with an insane man and his worshippers; on the other hand, I guess it’s easy to just sway and clap and make a Y with your arms.
