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.”And everyone would be fine with it because that’s obviously what the Lord wanted him to do.
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 lead 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
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
It was life on twitch as well. I reported the stream for bigotry

I swear the guy is just limit testing at this point
He has none. The test is for the corporate news. So far they’ve been failing with flying colors.
How is this not an onion article. This is exactly the kind of thing the onion would post!
This was my first real out-loud laugh of the day. Cheers!
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.
In all fairness I’d rather listen to music than hear this idiot talk
Just vibing.
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.
That’s a man in need of help.
It’s both amusing and depressing to see all the rugged individuals loudly advertising what a vital subject they are.
no questions people, just vibes please
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 :)
He’s trying his hand to become a disk jockey because he realized he can just call himself “DJ DJ”
Damn, that’s a great idea.
New plan, we all still vote for Harris, but DJ DJ gets to play the victory party.
(And then he still goes to court, is found guilty, and locked up. DJ DJ in J.)
DOJ puts DJ DJ in da J.
Da Jail, so DJ DJ in DJ
Could we give him some DJ equipment while he’s in there so DJ DJ can DJ in DJ?
Don’t forget, the Department of Justice will have put him there, so DJ put DJ DJ in DJ, now DJ DJ gets to DJ in DJ.
What a genuinely weird thing to do.
Holy shit. It took me a long time to find it, but the video is somehow even weirder than I expected. That’s disturbing.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/10/14/trump-music-sways-town-hall/
“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.
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
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.
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.
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…
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
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.
Oh I don’t disagree. Just thought it was worth mentioning
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.
Can I just say I’m happy there’s a section of Republicans that think he needs to go, and are actively pushing him out?
The entire party isn’t a hive mind i.e sharing one mind.
Talking trash about him on X isn’t actively pushing him out.
Not a big enough section. He won the primaries by so much that there might as well have been no other options.
Sort of. We forget the earliest primaries were kind of shaky, and Hayley and DeSantis came in with a lot of steam. The catch there is, if you’re anti-trump, those two aren’t much better and might somehow even be worse.
Well the other options seems to involve rifles
I’m listening…
So my plan is that we mail rifles to him by post, and he will be so touched by the gesture that he will immediately step down and then blow his brains out.
It’s a long shot, but I think its worth the effort. Plus, the winner of the rifle he chooses gets a 2-day pass at DisneyLand.
Thankfully a lot has changed since then. Back then not even most Democrats thought he was as unhinged as he’s been acting in public since Kamala Harris took over the ticket.
The corporate news wasn’t dunking on him as much for - all their reasons. He’s just gone so far off the map even they can’t explain it away now.
So, they were okay with the racism, okay with the Muslim ban, okay with the insurrection…but now they’re anti-Trump because he’s acting weird?
The real question is are those Republicans still going to vote for him on Election Day.
The problem is that a normal person can be talked into doing something not in their best interest. A narcissist could only ever be lured away to something bigger.
So we let Donald be the ‘best’ DJ at the Kamala Harris win party?
Anything to keep that senile orange person out from government
Are you saying that all people with a certain mental disorder aren’t able to choose to be kind?
That’s an interesting framing device you’ve got there; But yes, in the cases of antisocial personalities and narcissists. They have a markedly diminished capacity for empathy.
Drag thinks that’s fake. Drag thinks everyone has the capacity for free will.
“Having the capacity for free will” is not even remotely the same as “being capable of making completely disposessed choices in every single circumstance”. When considering one’s options, different people in different situations give different weights to different factors.
Consider a person acting under the threat of being murdered if they don’t comply with some demand, like in an armed robbery. The fact that making certain choices, like refusing to cooperate, is in practice nearly impossible for them in this case has no bearing on whether or not they “have the capacity for free will” in a general sense. Likewise someone being manipulated by a person they fell in love with.
In the same vein, a narcissist is strongly compelled by internal factors to act only in ways that gratify their overinflated ego. While it may conceivably not be 100% impossible for them to go against this compulsion, it is extremely unlikely that it will even occur to them to do so, and given that it does occur to them to do so, it is extremely unlikely that they will choose that course of action. They act in predictable ways for this reason. The weights they place on certain factors are consistently different from average. This is entirely unrelated to the question of “free will”.
Sounds mega fake. You didn’t even cite any sources.
JFC not this shit again.
Drag apologises if you don’t like free will debates. Drag will clarify that drag doesn’t have a non-determinist stance. Drag’s a compatibilist, and therefore thinks there’s no debate to be had over free will, and wishes everyone else would realise it too.
I certainly do. Bye!
