“Trump seems lost, confused and as if frozen on stage,” commented the Democrat’s campaign team, releasing a video of the incident.
Donald Trump, 78, responded to questions with a late-night message on his social network, claiming to have obtained “exceptional” results on two separate cognitive exams.
“I am in much better health than Clinton, Bush, Obama, Biden and, above all, Kamala,” assured the Republican.
The strange scene took place during a “town hall” — public question-and-answer session with voters — organized by the candidate in Oaks, Pennsylvania.
The event, in an apparently poorly air-conditioned room, was interrupted when two spectators successively became unwell, requiring the intervention of first aiders.
“Does anyone else want to pass out? Raise your hand please,” Donald Trump quipped. Then, after the campaign meeting had only started half an hour before, the septuagenarian suggested: “What if we had a music festival? (…) Let’s stop the questions, let’s listen to some music.”
Hallelujah et YMCA
The Republican asked for his favorite “playlist” to be broadcast, with tenor Luciano Pavarotti first singing theHail Mary.
Donald Trump is often described as very attached to his favorite playlists, which he likes to play on his private plane or at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida. But, here, the astonishment came from the fact that the candidate did not resume his question-and-answer session.
“Who wants to hear questions?” he decided. The election night therefore took an unusual turn for more than thirty minutes in music, the former president swinging upright, his microphone in hand.
The public was able to listen to I part with you d’Andrea Bocelli et Sarah Brightman, Hallelujah performed by Rufus Wainwright, Nothing Compares 2 U by Sinéad O’Connor, An American Trilogy d’Elvis Presley, Rich Men North of Richmond d’Oliver Anthony, November Rain by Guns N’ Roses and, of course, the essential disco hit from Donald Trump’s rallies: YMCA des Village People.
In recent days Kamala Harris has several times accused her opponent in the race for the White House of being “mentally unstable”.
