kjmDonald Trump's town hall meeting on Monday in the suburbs of Philadelphia turned into a mini-concert after two medical emergencies interrupted the event. During the Q&A session, the Republican presidential nominee paused as a doctor in the audience assisted the first person experiencing a medical issue. When a second emergency halted the discussion, which was moderated by South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, Trump decided to stop taking questions. Both he and Noem mentioned it was hot in the venue, with Trump inquiring about the air conditioning."They probably can’t afford it, sir, in this economy," Noem quipped. According to the Associated Press, during the first interruption, Trump requested "Ave Maria" be played and was answered with an instrumental version of the song. During the second incident, he said he meant Italian opera singer Luciano Pavarotti’s version of the song. It was promptly tuned up.
Once Noem announced the second person was up and moving, Trump reportedly spoke for a few more minutes before calling for music to be played, as many in the crowd lingered unsure whether he was done speaking."Those two people who went down are patriots," Trump said after the music. "We love them. And because of them, we ended up with some great music, right?"Later, Trump suggested they could wrap up the evening with the audience in their seats, enjoying some musical selections rather than hearing him answer more questions. He called for the Village People’s “YMCA” and it blasted through the loudspeakers, the usual signal that Trump is done speaking and is ready to leave. But he remained onstage, the Associated Press reported. "Nobody’s leaving," Trump said. "What’s going on?" Soon after, more music played and for roughly 40 minutes, it didn't stop. Trump bopped and shimmied onstage to an eclectic playlist of songs that included Sinead O’Connor’s "Nothing Compares 2 U," Rufus Wainwright’s cover of "Hallelujah" and Guns N’ Roses’ "November Rain".Trump appears lost, confused, and frozen on stage as multiple songs play for 30+ minutes and the crowd pours out of the venue early pic.twitter.com/6r0TE2qCYM
