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
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.
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
Apparently some people are saying that Trump played music to help someone with a medical emergency or something? I dunno, that doesn’t make any sense… Anyone know what the fuck that’s about?
He paused after medical issues and briefly played music then, and he then resumed. A few questions in after resuming he just said “who the hell wants to listen to questions” and “let’s listen to music” and proceeds to sound like he’s wrapping up but he just stands there noding on stage to music for 39 minutes
I wonder if Trump knows he is loosing, but has now lost control of his audiance. Imagine how his fans will react if he publicly stepped down…
39 minutes. Stand up and try to sway and dance to random music for more than 5 minutes, now picture doing that for 39 fucking minutes lol
…And to think this guy has half the vote. What a place we live in. I wish we cared more about education. If people were smarter, we wouldn’t be in this situation.
Half the electoral college vote. Still maddening but let’s not forget that a shitty election system is the only thing keeping the Republicans in power now
Depends how loose your definition of half is, I guess. Trump got 46.8% of the popular vote in 2020 vs Biden’s 51.3%.
2016: Trump 41.1% (still won) vs Clinton 48.2%. 2012: Obama 51.1% (winner) vs Romney 47.2%. 2008: Obama 52.9% (winner) vs McCain 45.7%. 2004: Bush 50.7% (winner) vs Kerry 48.3%. 2000: Bush 47.9% (still won) vs Gore 48.4%. 1996: Clinton 49.2% (winner) vs Dole 40.7% vs Perot 8.4%. 1992: Clinton 43% (winner) vs Bush 37.4% vs Perot 18.9%. 1988: Bush 53.4% (winner) vs Dukakis 45.6%. And that’s as far as I could be bothered to go back.
With the exception of Bush in 2004, every Republican president since 1988 won only because of the electoral college. See the problem?
If 20 or more years ago, a writer wanted to write a book about USA sliding to religious dictatorship or fascism, they would create this extremely clever, very charismatic machiavellian genius.
Instead, we have a bumbling buffoon who probably can’t tie his shoes in the morning, and half the people seem to worship him like a god.
If people were smarter you wouldn’t have Marijuana classified as schedule 1 and you would actually have a healthcare and not some for profit private insurance scam instead.
