    The evening began to take a different trajectory when a man appeared to faint in the crowd. Trump paused his remarks. Attendees fanned the man and began to sing “God Bless America.” As the man waited for medical help, Trump mused: “While we’re waiting. So we had a beautiful evening. And I don’t know if they could get this song up quickly, but if they could work really quickly backstage while we’re waiting. ‘Ave Maria.’” The song began to play.

    Brother what in the fuck is going on anymore.

      That’s honestly tame compared to the rest of the town hall

      At the end, he made it sound like he was done and going to wrap up, said thank you and then he… just stood there for 39 minutes noding to music

      Oh also he said “does anyone else want to faint too” after someone fainted

      He also told people to vote on January 5th instead of election day (Nov 5th)

        That honestly sounds like he cant recenter himself, which if true means he may not be alive much longer. My great great aunt wasnt able to recenter herself and died within a couple days from that point. Mind you he could stay in a coupletely alucid state for who knows how long, it is kinda random.

          It could be that he’s tired, old, and really fucking lazy. He wants to be in front of his crowd as it indulges his pathetic need for attention but he just can’t be bothered to meet them halfway by trotting out the same old lies so he just stands there, shuffling a little to some music while they bask in his magnificence.

            Honestly Trump is such a weird bastard that its pretty much impossible to tell, could be either or really. But theres just this gut feeling I have that Trump is breaking down and is fast approaching the Reaper. Especially given that his actions are getting more random, there was a pattern in it before even if it was comparable to my sleeping habits, but now it just seems scattered like the pattern is still there but its drifting and becoming disconnected.

              I’m not going to argue that he’s in decline but I’d argue that trying to remotely diagnose him isn’t helpful.

              He ran for President, he won - Trump happy.

              He ran again and lost - Trump not happy but rigged election!

              Now he’s running yet again and it’s close but he’s losing, crowd sizes are smaller, he’s old and tired, legal issues are piling up, and so on - Trump starting to lose his shit.

                  I think the issue is, we all want you to be right. But we’ve been let down by situations like this before. So none of us want to get our hopes up again.

        Don’t forget a second person fainted as well.

        Folks fanning themselves while he dances and leans while music plays because he didn’t pay for Air conditioning

          Did they actually, medically faint, or did they do that Evangelical Revival ‘faint’, like the ‘spirit’ overwhelmed them? If 2 people medically fainted, it seems like something was wrong with the venue (too many bodies, not enough air con), but based on the crowd’s response (eta: singing God Bless America at them), it kinda feels like the latter.

            Did you read my whole comment? There was nothing wrong with the venue’s air con he just didn’t want to pay for it.

              I did, yes. I was just commenting on the crowd’s reaction of singing a national hymn at them, and how that reminded me of revival meetings. Yes, he’s famously cheap.
