I am not a Trump supporter. However, the town hall meeting had a medical emergency, which threw the whole groove off. From all the evidence I’ve seen, I’ll give Trump props for seeing it and calling for a doctor on stage. That was the most human thing I ever saw him do (and to be clear there are other examples of this. Not many, but they exist)

But anyway, I digress…

I suspect the 30 minutes of music was a distraction to the medical emergency and also was supposed to present him as ‘fun’. I think after the emergency they just had to fill time and the whole situation just got fucked. IMO, Trump isn’t to blame for that weird shit

Edit: I did not watch the entire town hall and have since watched it. The whole thing is an absolute shit show. I fell for the propagated clips to improve his image, but I’ve since learned that what I originally learned is wrong

That’s a highly misleading characterization

They only briefly paused after people fainted and then continued and changed the format to a Q&A with a speaker. Only a few questions into the Q&A he said “who wants to listen to questions” and “let’s listen to music”. He wrapped up making it sound like he was done, but then just stood there for 39 minutes nodding to music

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

Edit: also he showed zero respect for the people that fainted. He was insulting their weight and asked if “anyone else wants to faint too”

Alright. Might have misspoke. I saw clips which I obviously fell for the propaganda

There were some misleading initial reports about it, to be fair

Sadly this is how it works. Now imagine you’re one of the millions of people who absolutely wouldn’t care to dive deeper into this and just argue from the rooftops that he’s a brilliant person.

Yo! It’s the Meal Team Six combat vet who uses a 1000yd stare to get people out of his way! Tell me more about your complex and nuanced politics.

Haha. Is that supposed to offend me? I don’t even know what you’re trying to go for here?

Just a good ol’ MAGA check.

Trying to prod you into being defensive or being a troll because you were repeating MAGA talking points.

But you weren’t and you aren’t.

Hope it was funnier than it was troubling. Have a good rest of your day.

Respect for admitting you got conned the first time. All of us are vulnerable to propaganda, especially people who think they’re not.
