The evening began to take a different trajectory when a man appeared to faint in the crowd. Trump paused his remarks. Attendees fanned the man and began to sing “God Bless America.” As the man waited for medical help, Trump mused: “While we’re waiting. So we had a beautiful evening. And I don’t know if they could get this song up quickly, but if they could work really quickly backstage while we’re waiting. ‘Ave Maria.’” The song began to play.

Brother what in the fuck is going on anymore.

That’s honestly tame compared to the rest of the town hall

At the end, he made it sound like he was done and going to wrap up, said thank you and then he… just stood there for 39 minutes noding to music

Oh also he said “does anyone else want to faint too” after someone fainted

He also told people to vote on January 5th instead of election day (Nov 5th)

That honestly sounds like he cant recenter himself, which if true means he may not be alive much longer. My great great aunt wasnt able to recenter herself and died within a couple days from that point. Mind you he could stay in a coupletely alucid state for who knows how long, it is kinda random.

It could be that he’s tired, old, and really fucking lazy. He wants to be in front of his crowd as it indulges his pathetic need for attention but he just can’t be bothered to meet them halfway by trotting out the same old lies so he just stands there, shuffling a little to some music while they bask in his magnificence.

Don’t forget a second person fainted as well.

Folks fanning themselves while he dances and leans while music plays because he didn’t pay for Air conditioning

Did they actually, medically faint, or did they do that Evangelical Revival ‘faint’, like the ‘spirit’ overwhelmed them? If 2 people medically fainted, it seems like something was wrong with the venue (too many bodies, not enough air con), but based on the crowd’s response (eta: singing God Bless America at them), it kinda feels like the latter.
