Trump’s Mental State Questioned After Turning Penn. Town Hall into “Dance Party”

HeadlineOct 16, 2024

More questions are being raised about Trump’s mental state after a town hall event in Pennsylvania took an unexpected turn on Monday when two audience members fainted. Trump ended up taking just five questions from the crowd before making this announcement.

Donald Trump: “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?”

For the next 30 minutes, Trump’s staff played music while the former president swayed and bopped to the music on stage along with South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, who was hosting the town hall. Trump eventually left the stage without taking any more questions. On Tuesday, Kamala Harris responded to Trump’s town hall by writing online, “Hope he’s OK.”
