What a genuinely weird thing to do.
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.
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 obvious reason is that he's not qualified to answer questions so he just avoided them altogether.

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.
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.
Holy shit. It took me a long time to find it, but the video is somehow even weirder than I expected. That’s disturbing.

“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.

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.)
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.
DOJ puts DJ DJ in da J.
how many musicians sending in cease-and-desist letters again?
I’m guessing it’s down to Ted Nugent and kid Rock.
When I occasionally hear kid Rock on the radio, all I can think about is what a loser he is needing his daddy's car dealership money to get him out in the rap scene.
How many Detroit rappers self fund a cd release that was able to sell 14000 copies? That is a lot of money in the 90s.

Fucking implode already.
This dumbass is in a statistical tie with his opponent. Blows my mind.
It would blow my mind even if his opponent had zero qualifications. The fact that she's actually competent and charismatic just adds to the surreality of the situation.
Have you considered his opponent is a non-white person? And a woman at that!

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 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.

And the crowd stood there for hours before, waiting on him to show. Did he take any questions at all or just all his shitty playlist and fainting? This guy is pathetic.

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."

I also like listening to music.
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.
Watch the video on YouTube. Some in the crowd seemed to be trying to get riled up but besides YMCA the music was very mellow, very low energy. Do not trade mix tapes with Donald Trump
How is this not an onion article. This is exactly the kind of thing the onion would post!
That’s so fucking weird it hurts. Like genuinely embarrassing to the point I need Shoresy to really express it.
Shoresey?
Surely you mean the Coach, I mean... theres a trash can right there.
In all fairness I’d rather listen to music than hear this idiot talk
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.

Isn’t listening to music something that humans do?
Well, not in this particular way, no. It's like your boss call you for meeting and instead of discussing business, he listen to music 30min straight.

Maybe at a concert, sure. But at a town hall? No.

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
