TFG is clearly senile

The former president paused the question-and-answer session after an attendee suffered a medical issue, and then halted a discussion moderated by South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem after another person succumbed to heat inside the building. Panelists on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" compared that to Kamala Harris' recent schedule.....
"If you're just waking up wondering what on earth you're watching right now, this is a Donald Trump rally last night in Pennsylvania where there were two it was incredibly hot in the room, we're told by reporters who were there," added co-host Willie Geist. "People arrive early, stand up for a long time. There were two medical incidents where people passed out. They were both okay, thank goodness.
"After the second person passed out, Donald Trump decided it was time to stop doing the Q-and-A for some reason. I think he sensed people had been standing and maybe were bored. He had his staff just play music for 39 minutes, nine songs, I believe in total, ranging from Pavarotti to Guns 'n' Roses. He took with Gov. Kristi Noem and danced and swayed for 40 minutes, and then left and walked off the stage. Truly a strange scene there."

(13,630 posts)He was actually showing compassion for his followers by allowing them to finally sit down in the apparent sauna. Compassion is a rare and beautiful thing for Trump, blink that one time and you'll miss it.
Or he could just be sliding head-long into dementia. I am not a Dr., but both my Grandmothers, and currently my Mother, made that horrible slide.

(10,168 posts)Look for the loud mouth that looks like packaging bubble wrap. The bubble lips may be firmly suctioned to trumps fat ass. I am Wondering where that BEST is that was yet to come?
We were told to start Being Best back in 2016.
Maybe the amazing Bidenomics was the Best to come she spoke of, but the media just will not publicize the Best.
Personally, its nice to not see her mug with tire tube lips anywhere.
The Coke head has moved on. Searching for a good family value woman. Maybe Loomer will attach her lips to Jr. Daddy Trump just could no FullFill her needs.
Time to exile all Trump criminals that sold and are selling out the country.
We got some deporting of our own to get to.
And start with the suits, with Trickle Down to the boots. And make damn sure a hand full of Supremacy Court criminals are in the mix.
Democracy, Love it or Leave it! .

(155,389 posts)Donald Trump was already facing questions about his mental acuity and cognitive abilities. Then he bobbed his head to music for 39 minutes at an event.

I've seen a lot of Trump gatherings, but this was the first in which he just bobbed his head to music for 39 minutes.

If Trump hoped a townhall-style event just north of Philadelphia would help end such chatter, he was likely disappointed once it was over. NBC News reported:
Former President Donald Trump turned a town hall event in front of supporters in Oaks, Pennsylvania into an impromptu listening party Monday night, playing a unlikely selection of tunes for more than 30 minutes after the event was paused for medical emergencies. Trump is famed for his lengthy and unorthodox political rallies, but none have followed such an unusual format, featuring the Republican nominee swaying along and occasionally punching the air to songs....
To be sure, there was some Q&A during the event. Someone asked Trump about his plan to address grocery prices, for example, and his odd answer included references to Hannibal Lecter who remains a fictional character that the former president frequently talks about for reasons unknown and immigrants taking Black jobs.......
I can appreciate the awkwardness of the circumstances. As first responders tended to a couple of attendees, its likely that Trump didnt just want to proceed with the townhall as if nothing had happened. But he couldve spoken to his supporters or perhaps had some back-and-forth with South Dakoka Gov. Kristi Noem, who was moderating the gathering.
Instead, there was a lot of this:

.....The Posts report added that Trump turned the event into almost a living-room listening session of his favorite songs from his self-curated rally playlist, adding, 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. Trumps 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.
If the former president wants questions about his mental fitness and cognitive abilities to go away, hell have to do better than this.
Indeed, Democratic Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii wrote online the morning after the event, That thing Trump did last night is not explainable and it is not small. It shows that hes increasingly detached from reality. Everyone knows if Biden or Harris did that it would be media mayhem. Hes not ok, and you cant ignore it anymore.

(298 posts)According to The Hill, here is the rationale for his strange behavior:
Trump plays music for supporters after town hall cut short due to medical emergencies. Sorry, I tried to attach the actual article, but it didn't work. The jist of the article is that there were two medical emergencies due to fainting because the room was like a sauna.
For what it's worth.

(2,259 posts)That was already known. If someone goes down (2 people fainted, thats it, in a super hot venue), you keep going, or you take a few minutes break and get back to it. Or, you acknowledge its super hot, tell everyone they should go home, drink, and rest, and end it. You dont KEEP them there doing nothing but listening to your favorite songs while you chill out for 30+ minutes, while Kristi Noem (watch the clips) acts like a granddaughter to a demented elder, asking carefully what hed like to do now so she can keep him content and not sundowning hard.

(59,999 posts)Dancing? to music certainly would make a hot room hotter. Why does at least one woman on a side stage have what looks like a winter coat on.
Does Noem have a sense of how weird it is that MAGA are dancing to YMCA. Can they possibly not understand the lyrics? But, at least that was music that people dance too. Unlike several other songs.
Could it be that he thinks just not raging full of anger is a plus?

And you know what? It would STILL be a close race.

As I write Andrea Mitchell is talking about it now. Good!
Edit: I should have known Andrea would say it wont help Kamala.
