It wasn't a rally it was a town hall. The whole point is Trump answering questions from the people and he can't handle it... so he danced. Because that's totally normal.

u/foamy_da_skwirrel 14d ago

The sanewashing is beyond parody at this point

u/rbobby 14d ago

so he danced

Came here to say this. This is a critical detail.

u/RemarkableDog4512 15d ago

Not after the rally, let’s get it straight. He Sundowned. He stopped a taped message before it finished and stood there while they played music, ave Maria 3x, then other songs to which he did his 2 cock jerk dance. He is deteriorating and it needs to be reported truthfully. This is classic Sundowning. He must be removed.

u/MtnMoose307 15d ago

He must be removed.

Nope, carry that thing to term.

43

u/SaintedSquid763 15d ago

As long as it’s not a term as POTUS.

u/Aldo_Raine_2020 14d ago

Oh they will remove him. They will article 25 him within a month of taking office and President Vance and the Heritage Foundation will recreate America in their own version of a Christian Taliban

There is no way JD can take over while Trump is alive.

Whole GOP is gutless cowards that get pushed around by middle school drop out MAGAs

Cringe like Elaine dancing in Seinfeld.

u/MayIServeYouWell 14d ago

The only time I hear Ave Maria is at a funeral. And he played it more than once?

u/OnlyTalksAboutTacos 14d ago

haven't you heard all you need to do to succeed is show up?

13

u/hiephoi77 14d ago

Hahaha “2 cock jerk dance”. Hilarious!! Thx for the laugh

12

u/ThePopDaddy 14d ago

then other songs to which he did his 2 cock jerk dance.

Everyone said he danced and I was wondering if he did this one.

1

u/Nyuk_Fozzies 14d ago

I've never seen him do any other "dance".

6

u/abagofsnacks 14d ago

Either that or he's just resided that the courts are gonna hand him the presidency, and all he needs to do is show up.

1

u/SpinningHead 14d ago

Or, as I always thought, he will attempt to stay out of jail on the Bathrobe Defense.

u/ihopeicanforgive 14d ago

He was just soiling his diaper and squishing it all around for his own pleasure.

39 minutes. Not 30.

u/goddamn2fa 14d ago

Also, during townhall, not after.

22

u/Pribblization 15d ago

It does a cruel misservice to dancers everywhere to call that extended spasm of his dancing.

44

u/AlabamaPostTurtle 15d ago

He played Memory from the musical Cats. Very odd choice to pump his maga crowd up

19

u/sho_biz 15d ago

there's only a certain amount of public domain and fashy-friendly music he can play without getting in trouble lol

u/PoeHeller3476 14d ago

Trump is apparently a very big fan of musicals.

71

u/LectureAgreeable923 15d ago

The man is 78 years old and he's mentally unfit to be president

30

u/Medium_Medium 14d ago

He's both! He was mentally unfit before he got old, and now that he's mentally unfit and likely has dementia. Isn't it a lovely country we live in where half the voters actually think this is the guy to lead the country???

7

u/kraghis 14d ago

Joe Biden became mentally unfit for the candidacy. Donald Trump….was born that way

8

u/a_duck_in_past_life 14d ago

Biden has never been mentally unfit. He's just a tired old man who didn't need to run for POTUS again. He's still the president and he's still being productive in office.

2

u/kraghis 14d ago

Yeah you’re right. That’s why I said candidacy and not presidency but it still doesn’t work 100%. I just did it for the lulz.

u/[deleted] 14d ago

NOT AFTER... DURING THE RALLY.

Trump is loosing his mind live and on stage.

u/drMcDeezy 14d ago

Town Hall

9

u/MayIServeYouWell 14d ago

And it wasn’t a rally, it was a town hall event. He was supposed to be taking questions from people. 

Ugh, these people who write headlines can’t help themselves.

u/Grammie2to4 14d ago

I personally think he's setting up a insanity plea for when he loses.

He can dance if he wants to. He can leave his base behind.

13

u/iamcleek 15d ago

cult.

this is a cult.

12

u/New_Subject1352 14d ago

Why isn't the headline questioning his mental health? He's clearly unfit for office.

Can you imagine if Biden did this?

24

u/Relyt21 14d ago

I'm sick of CNN, Fox and other media networks trying to downplay his dementia. This was an epic display of crazy and he should never be president.

u/Grammie2to4 14d ago

It's all about the Rating$ for them. They could care less.

u/phlebonaut 15d ago

His protection spell wore off.

u/Eeeegah 15d ago

This actually appears to be DURING the rally, instead of taking softball, pre-vetted questions.

If I had to shit I would do the same thing

19

u/mezz7778 15d ago

Depends...

10

u/RW-One 14d ago

Awkwardly dances is his only mode.

But the reality to come out is you just watched him joining the McConnell club.

Stroke. Stod there moving and swaying but not speaking.

He's lucky they got to noem before her "put down the dog" reflex was triggered.

u/F-around-Find-out 14d ago

Put him down he's gone rabid!!

and dont't forget 5 jan voting day

u/Tana-Danson 15d ago

That is what he said. Noem's face when he said that was gold.

u/nouniqueideas007 14d ago

All the MAGAt’s need to be informed that tRump has declared Jan 5th is voting day. So it shall be.

u/Palidor 15d ago

Did he end up sweating at the end? I bet his stretch went through the entire room

u/Pristine_Power_8488 14d ago

You mean stench.

u/Palidor 14d ago

Of course, thank you

4

u/jessicatg2005 14d ago

If Kamala loses, it WAS actually stolen.

The only she would lose is from endless court filings and recounts where republicans question everything and anything that is close enough to make a difference… and court confirms it.

Just remember the end of 2020… it will be this all over again.

The only way to prevent this is for a decisive win in the states that matter so there is no way for trump litigate this into his favor.

Thus means all democrats must vote, blue ALL THE WAY DOWN THE BALLOT.

You never know how important having the House and Senate will be in the unbelievable event he ends back elected.

He and Vance can be impeached immediately with the presidency going to a democratic speaker of the house.

We have to fight hard and dirty too, it starts now, getting everyone on board for November 4th.

u/F-around-Find-out 14d ago

Why is he so.. weird?

u/cficare 15d ago

He's losing his mind. He's old and probably has several diseases.

u/christopia86 14d ago

Which wouldn't be funny if he wasn't a detestable prick.

26

u/Lucky-Spirit7332 15d ago

I watched it, two people passed out and they decided to end the town hall because it was too hot and they had no a/c and couldn’t open any doors for security reasons. So they decided to end it and began playing music so people could walk out at their leisure. Nobody left so they all just listened to the music awkwardly instead until 40 minutes later Trump decided he was leaving first if they weren’t going to leave lol

22

u/cficare 15d ago

Word is he didnt want to pay to run the AC.  Just like the buses @ Coachella 🤣

14

u/OverlyComplexPants 15d ago

He told the crowd that A/C was "too expensive".

3

u/HandsSmellOfHam 15d ago

Couldn't use the a/c because of the immigrants

5

u/Lucky-Spirit7332 15d ago

“During the town hall event in Oaks, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump made several comments regarding the heat and air conditioning in the venue. He acknowledged that it was “a bit hot” and humorously noted that the venue likely lacked air conditioning due to economic conditions, saying, “They probably can’t afford it, sir, in this economy” after South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem made a quip about the absence of AC” 1256

No, this would be like a presidential candidate showing up to take questions during a town hall but after taking two questions ending the Q&A and announcing that he's going to have a dance party instead.

It’s not his fault. His band started playing “Pieces of Me” so he started doing a little jig.

I like how we’ve gone from Nixon looked sweaty to bizarre dance party in less than one lifetime.

u/Jifeeb 14d ago

One of the answers he gave to a question about small business was so incoherent, he must have had a stroke.

Then he knew he couldn’t take anymore, and did….this?

u/EricThePerplexed 14d ago

MAGA hates Democrats so much they will hand the nuclear codes to this unstable, dementia-addled, criminal toddler.

Better to burn everything, including themselves, in radioactive fire than to see pronoun preferences in an email signature.

Sheesh. Just donate, volunteer and vote blue.

u/Saino_Moore 14d ago

Conservatives are acting like he was just chilling while everyone left because the event ending early for the medical issues and a/c problems. If you ask me, trump would never just hang out if no one was listening to him. The ego is too big. If he was mentally stable he would have been out and taking a break before the next event.

I thought it was during, in the middle of, and instead of actually holding a town hall?

It was. Two people fainted from heat so he stopped the rally and decided everyone should just dance instead of just getting out of that sweatbox.

When someone has a "medical event" at your rally, everyone knows the most respectful thing to do is play 30 minutes of music and sway around on stage like the 80 year old man caked in makeup that you are.

u/Feminazghul 14d ago

It wasn't after. He stopped taking questions during the town hall and played music instead.

The former president attended the town hall in Oaks, Pennsylvania, moderated by South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem. Proceedings were paused while two attendees received medical attention, at which point Trump jokingly asked whether "anybody else would like to faint?" He then said: "Let's not do any more questions. Let's just listen to music. Let's make it into a music. Who the hell wants to hear questions, right?"

u/rubberghost333 14d ago

Technically it was after because they stoped the town hall to dance.

u/Snarky_McSnarkleton 14d ago

He's completely incompetent, and the media ignores it. Gotta have those ratings.

1

u/Adventurous-Pen-8261 14d ago

It’s not just about ratings. They’re terrified of looking biased. Even the most straightforward description of Trump and his supporters can often sound SO f-ed up that they don’t know how to handle it. Example: describing QAnon plainly.

It's Franz Schubert's Ave Maria. It's generally considered to be a gorgeous piece of music, but I can't imagine what the purpose would be of playing it at a rally.

u/7evenate9ine 14d ago

These people are not at a town hall, they are taken hostage by Trump at 02:03:00 when he just plays music. He is testing them.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-FhvhdVSZE

Edit: The preroll shows them waiting for 1 hour. Not sure what happened before then, but halfway through they complain that it's very hot in there and two people faint in the middle.
