    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…

    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?

      If I was having a medical emergency and someone started playing Ave Maria, my immediate thought would be that I’m dying then the wonder of who did “it” to me.

      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

    …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

      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.

      Wasn’t that long ago that we had two candidates in evident cognitive decline, and we still would except for these embarrassing incidents.

    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

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

      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”

          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.

            Yeah. I could have better researched better before I commented. Also I greatly appreciate you being polite.

            I also deleted the comment

              Restore it and add an edit note that you fell for the propaganda so others can learn from you too. Strike out the text if you want to be extra clear.

              Own your mistakes and help everyone!

                Good idea. I don’t know how to strike out sentences, so if you could help me with that? I’ll work on restoring the comment

                Edit: I actually don’t know how to restore the comment

                  For future striking out sentences use ~~ around the text ~~like this~~ to make it look like this

                  Not sure if there’s a way to restore comments

                  If you are using an app I have no idea, but on a browser the three dots underneath switches between Delete and Undelete. The text editor options has one to strike through whatever text you have already highlighted. If the strike through shows squiggles you might need to remove some spaces as they have to be right against the first and last words to work right.

          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.
