Honestly asking Trump voters: how can you support him after this bizarre episode?

Anonymous
There’s nothing normal about deciding to sing and dance on stage while people are getting medical attention. It’s even more weird than just continuing with questions.

Not a Trump supporter, but I don't get the big deal being made about this event. I'm more interested in 1 million "loans" based on race and sex, and facilitating those same individuals to become cannabis dealers. So is KH saying taxpayers will be giving black men money to open MJ shops?

“Let’s not do any more questions. Let’s just listen to music. Let’s make it into a music. Who the hell wants to hear questions, right?” he said.
For 39 minutes, Trump swayed, bopped — sometimes stopping to speak — as he turned the event into almost a living-room listening session of his favorite songs from his self-curated rally playlist.

He played nine tracks. He danced. He shook hands with people onstage. He pointed to the crowd. Noem stood beside him, nodding with her hands clasped. Trump stayed in place onstage, slowly moving back and forth. He was done answering questions for the night.

He briefly returned to talking about the election and the importance of winning Pennsylvania. After Noem gave Trump the option of closing “with a specific song” or taking “two more fast questions,” he addressed one of his aides: “So Justin, how about a couple really beauties and we’ll sit down and relax.”

It was time to listen to Andrea Bocelli’s “Time to Say Goodbye.” After listening to James Brown, Trump began to speak again, as if remembering that he was still at an event that was billed as a town hall.


Because you read wapo, you are grossly misinformed. There was a medical emergency among the audience. Rather than continue the town hall during a medical emergency he paused it until it was resolved. And he entertained the crowd during it.



Nope, the ACTUAL FOOTAGE is all over the internet and all the news outlets. They knew you were going to bluster, so WaPo, NYT, CNN and all the other organizations showed the video.
The patients are evacuated and AFTER THAT your Dear Demented Leader shuts down the Q&A session after only 4 questions and bobs awkwardly along with some untrendy music for half an hour. Attendees don't know what to do, they mill around, and then start to dribble out of the venue. The people on stage are all cringed-out. Trump doesn't notice a thing. Brain is gone.


Does anyone have a link to the full unedited 39 minutes?

The whole medical emergency thing is so desperate. Anyone can see what happened. We can’t have this travesty as the head of state. It’s over for Trump.

You look for it. And then see if you can come up with better spin than medical emergency. That one didn’t work.

A couple of months ago, there were at least 70 million people who were willing to vote for Biden even though he was obviously unwell and incapable of being commander in chief. If elected, Trump is going to be in his 80s, the oldest president ever. He too is unwell and rapidly declining and has no business being in the Oval Office. But in a polarized America, it doesn't seem to matter. People aren't voting FOR something. They are voting AGAINST the other side. They would vote for a toaster oven if it meant keeping Kamala Harris out of the White House. And same vice versa. If you were to put Trump versus Toaster Oven on the ballot, I guarantee Toaster Oven would win 70 million votes.


Wow. Rare to see someone who gets it and shares this reality in a public forum.

He played songs like "Ave Maria" while folks were getting medical attention. At some point after EMTS had departed he stopped taking questions and played other music.

This is very common knowledge, PP. This trend has been growing for almost a decade at this point.

He can rent a room at Vegas and put on whatever shows he wants. This guy is not fit to be managing a McDonald's let alone running the country.


He’s running successful businesses. He did a good job running the country once and I want him leading the country again.

I don’t know why Harris’s fans continually post these threads. It’s not like you are changing any of our minds.


He has not run successful businesses. He went bankrupt many times and all he did was slap his name on second rate products. None of which are are around today. He did not do a good job running the country. We were the laughing stock of the world. There’s more to running a country than making it so people save a few dollars on eggs. He’s not fit, too old and mentally unwell.


That pretty much describes the business model of most brands you’re wearing and filling your home with.

In any event, he did not make his money selling consumer goods…

he inherited it, before he blew it all and then started a great ponzi scheme with hundreds of LLC shell companies. It is always projection.

Common knowledge or sense has not been trending in any sense within the last decade.

That would be Trump. His tariffs are a hidden tax on Americans. His inflationary policies are another hidden tax.


Trump has a record of successfully cutting taxes. And inflation was a lot lower under Trump than Biden/Harris. Kamala wants to use your tax money to give $20,000 grants to drug dealers based on skin color.


Whose taxes did he cut? Not mine. Mine went up like a lot of people’s did. It was the millionaires and billionaires who benefited under Trump. Not the rest of us.



We both probably vote for the same people (I’m a very Progressive Dem) and if your taxes went up under trump, then frankly, you’re one of the people who can most afford to pay more.

Because yours likely went up due to SALT deduction limits trump put in place on federal income taxes, which affected higher income people with expensive homes in high tax states. So your state and local income and property tax exemptions were capped, and as a result, your federal taxable income was higher.

If SALT affected you, you’re already doing fine and should be paying more anyway. I’m of the opinion that NO state or local taxes should be deductible for federal income taxes, but that often puts me at-odds with my fellow “progressives in name only” who suddenly become little Rush Limbaugh's
when it comes to them paying more of their money.

If your taxes went up under trump, you should be paying a lot more anyway. You can spare it.

He didn’t really blow it, but otherwise somewhat more accurate. Misusing LLCs is pretty common though.

Maybe the republicans know he is experiencing full cognitive decline and therefore hiding him. But they need him to win the presidency so they’ll weekend at Bernie’s him to a victory and then do the 25th amendment to get Vance installed as president.

He can’t hide out for three weeks though. He’s already cancelled a bunch of interviews. And people are laughing at him in the podcasts he’s done. People are talking and not positively. Business is getting itchy about him. And there are no drugs to hide dementia.
