They're Playing Ave Maria At Tr**p's Rally.....

I can't believe I'm actually watching this. It's on CSPAN.

It was an opera singer singing it. Tr**p just told the people not to leave when he's done lying because this opera singer will do a few songs for them.

I guess this is his way of making sure people don't walk out early.

He's reading from a teleprompter.

You should hear the dialog. He's milking the assassination attempt.

said he be off stage to hear him again. Looks over to Vance and says bet you can’t sing like that. Seriously I’m puking here right now. I TOTALLY DESPISE HIM. That opera singer was awesome tho……wonder if he’s voting for trump. Hope not. Wonder if he’ll get paid, ah, not.

This is beyond surreal. Opera wasted on magats. This is hysterically funny.

I was not aware of this particular population's affection for opera. Who knew.

as a campaign ploy. I know a lot of people don't believe, and that's fine. I myself am a lapsed Catholic, but I still believe in God, and Jesus, and the Virgin Mother is my matron saint. My disgust for the orange cretin knows no bounds.

With these religious songs, he's pushing the message that God spared him from the assassination attempt because he is God's Chosen One.

Another poster said on another thread that Ave Maria was followed by How Great Thou Art and then America the Beautiful.

If he wants to be America's Orange Messiah, maybe someone should play this hymn for him: Were You There When They Crucified My Lord? (Yes, it's the name of an actual hymn.)

a D.J./social director at Merde a Loco, vicariously performing since he has no/zero talent. Even the annoying Judy SHEINLIN (a BLOOMBERG intimate) dismissed Drumpf as just "an entertainer." I would almost support letting him go scot-free if he would just go away and have non-stop BERLUSCONI/Diddy parties.

It might have been the Bach-Gounod. I'm sure trump is well versed in the merits and history of both pieces.

Seriously?

He may or may not have gotten scratched by something that day.... I would hardly call it "taking a bullet for us"
