    Think his team is more so afraid of making his mental decline even more obvious after his town hall yesterday. He cut if off early, said “who wants to listen to questions” and “let’s listen to music” followed by an early wrapping up. Sounded like he was going to leave, but he just didn’t. He stood on stage for 39 minutes of him nodding on stage to music

      39 minutes…that’s really troubling. It’s not like 1 song or 2 short songs, to take a few impromptu questions as people filled out. That’s almost an hour of some sort of severe breakdown.

        His team was telling him to take more questions on the teleprompter and he still just stood there

          I always knew his teleprompter wasn’t just lines to a prewritten speech.

          They literally have people that type messages to him in real time, but they can’t put a lot up there so he just gets vague topics and rambles about it, then when a new message pops up he changes immediately to that.

            For the record, it is not unusual for a teleprompter to be used to message the person reading it.

        39 minutes is basically a whole power metal album, I should know I listen to Sabaton, Hulkoff, and Tyr. Thats a long fucken time.

          Beast in Black would have been a far better use of that time than anything Trump played, that’s for sure.
