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

Is there any explanation for why the two people fainted though? That seems like a crazy lead lede to bury… Was it random?

I mean the choice to stand there and play music is funny, but that whole event sounds like it came straight out of Veep

From the comments made in the town hall, it sounds like the room itself was hot. Given how trump is usually super late to almost all of his events, people were probably standing for a while in a hot room

This is in no way meant to be pedantic just something I learned a few years back. In this context it’s “lede”. I often assumed it was lead as in the frontrunner or leader of the story.

People standing with their knees locked in a hot room, especially older people. I saw it happen to an honor guard at a veterans function. The guy was old as hell trying to stand in the summer heat and went down.
