no questions people, just vibes please
What a genuinely weird thing to do.
Trump is just trying to stay ahead of the game. US politics are very much vibes based. Trump is going to the next level by literally vibing on stage. Who needs a health care plan when you’ve got vibe. And he is genuinely weird because that’s the Republican vibe, his weird vibe is appealing to his base.
It’s beyond a meme now. It’s just the only way to describe him.
This is the way
Holy shit. It took me a long time to find it, but the video is somehow even weirder than I expected. That’s disturbing.

“Let’s make it into a music.” ??? And the dog killer next to him with a huge panic-smile for 30 minutes. Local doofuses on stage now thrust into this bizarro . . . meltdown? Senior moment? Looking like they really really want to go home. Wow.
If you’ve ever been to bad church, that is what it feels like.
The context was that it was after two medical emergencies at the town hall I guess. It’s still weird but there’s a reason it was this derailed.
Still doesn’t really explain it. Before he just said to stop asking questions, they had changed the format to just have a speaker ask him questions after resuming from the medical emergencies. He just gave up on it after only a few questions for no obvious reason
Oh I don’t disagree. Just thought it was worth mentioning
The reason is because his brain is mush.
He’s tired? He sure looks like it.
Don’t you think he looks tired?
I sure do, looks like he went from 65 to 90 this summer.
The obvious reason is that he’s not qualified to answer questions so he just avoided them altogether.
This is worse than…“Please clap,” by a mile. Jeb was making a joke, but it killed his chances. This should 100% kill his chances at winning…but it won’t. This race makes no sense…
So… why wouldn’t he just continue afterwards, like what happens at any other public event that has isolated medical emergencies? Or even cancel/reschedule? Heh.
That makes no more sense than without context. A regular person would resume the town hall after the emergencies passed, or dismissed everyone. Keeping people there and playing random somes for twenty minutes is the action of a child or an idiot.
Fucking implode already.
This dumbass is in a statistical tie with his opponent. Blows my mind.
Still kinda makes a lot of sense though. Pretty easy to see how the Simpsons, back to the future, etc could see it coming
It would blow my mind even if his opponent had zero qualifications. The fact that she’s actually competent and charismatic just adds to the surreality of the situation.
If Trump wins my faith in humanity is fully gone
Might as well accelerate climate change before we fuck Earth any further. We don’t deserve this planet.
Have you considered his opponent is a non-white person? And a woman at that!
I really want to hear the room chatter that was happening 5 minutes in. Surely after like 15 the sorts of people there would have been like ‘ok we’re vibing with the supreme leader listening to music, this is cool too’ but after 5 minutes there had to be some confused discussion that would be really funny to hear.
Watch the video on YouTube. Some in the crowd seemed to be trying to get riled up but besides YMCA the music was very mellow, very low energy. Do not trade mix tapes with Donald Trump
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
leadlede 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
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.
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.
thanks
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
Lol, how often are people fainting at his events that it’s a complete non-story when it happens twice at one event? And then he thought, “it’s hot in here, let’s just play some music and dance”
What a strange campaign
Sounds remarkably like a fucking Diddy party. Seriously. Dude said he turned up the heat to get people horny or some shit.
I swear the guy is just limit testing at this point
I just imagine everybody standing board stiff holding their most sincere sieg heil salute while fighting back tears of rapturous emotion while Trump sways halfheartedly to Chumbawumba for twenty minutes
He has none. The test is for the corporate news. So far they’ve been failing with flying colors.
People are still falling all over themselves to vote for this turd; to buy a huge stars and stripes decal of him and stick it on the back window of their Ford Raptor next to their Three Percenter decal. Buy a huge flag that says Trump 2024 FUCK YOUR FEELINGS and hang it on a flagpole by the front door to their house, on the street with kids riding their bikes outside.
And there’s an ever growing uncertainty about whether or not this meatball is going to actually win or not.
This guy lives on the street behind me. He even has one of those garage projector things with the trump 2024 logo on it that he has up every night and a trump flag for each window of his car.
It’s both amusing and depressing to see all the rugged individuals loudly advertising what a vital subject they are.
I’ve got two houses facing each other on my street who have been in a fascist flag competition for as long is I can remember. One of them even has an RFK sign next to his Trump yard sign. But yeah what I described above I saw on my way through a neighborhood in my small town. Its distressing!
That’s a man in need of help.

I also like listening to music.
Literally Trump
We are all Trump on this blessed day.
Speak for yourself.
i am ALL trump on this blessed day :)
It’s like if you went to church, and the vicar said:
“You know what? I don’t fancy delivering this sermon with moral guidance. Lets just sing 10 hymns in a row.”Honestly? I love hymns. Especially if the congregation sings in four-part harmony. I’d probably enjoy that more than a sermon.
… Y’all never had that happen?
“The Lord has other plans for the service today, so we’re going to continue in this state of worship.”
I grew up JW, and their meetings were very structured and organized. They do sometimes show videos and such, but a congregation is organized around not one pastor or anything but a whole group of them, any of who could do the main Sunday surmon (and I have seen subs often enough). They also have “ministerial servants” who are I guess basically elders(pastors I guess?) in training, and they often handled a lot of stuff too.
That makes sense. This church was ‘non-denominational’, which meant that if they could just have the church band play a jam session and still make money, they would.
And everyone would be fine with it because that’s obviously what the Lord wanted him to do.
The man who talks to God says sing hymns? Cool. Now he says have some kool-aid? Cool cool.
Truly this power could never be misused.
That’s a bingo!
And the crowd stood there for hours before, waiting on him to show. Did he take any questions at all or just all his shitty playlist and fainting? This guy is pathetic.
That’s kind of on them for being stupid enough to go to a trump event.
He farted in tune though
That’s so fucking weird it hurts. Like genuinely embarrassing to the point I need Shoresy to really express it.
Shoresey?
Surely you mean the Coach, I mean… theres a trash can right there.
If you’re a Republican Voter against Trump, but you’re still going to vote Republican, then you’re not really against Trump are you?
I think they mean they want lower taxes, guns, and no gay marriage, but between trump or a democrat they choose the democrat, Harris in this case.
It was life on twitch as well. I reported the stream for bigotry
Just vibing.
In all fairness I’d rather listen to music than hear this idiot talk
