Strong "Blood Crieth Unto Heaven" vibes
I really want to hear the room chatter that was happening 5 minutes in. Surely after like 15 the sorts of people there would have been like 'ok we're vibing with the supreme leader listening to music, this is cool too' but after 5 minutes there had to be some confused discussion that would be really funny to hear.
Watch the video on YouTube. Some in the crowd seemed to be trying to get riled up but besides YMCA the music was very mellow, very low energy. Do not trade mix tapes with Donald Trump
It's like if you went to church, and the vicar said:
"You know what? I don't fancy delivering this sermon with moral guidance. Lets just sing 10 hymns in a row."
... Y'all never had that happen?
"The Lord has other plans for the service today, so we're going to continue in this state of worship."

Honestly? I love hymns. Especially if the congregation sings in four-part harmony. I’d probably enjoy that more than a sermon.

I swear the guy is just limit testing at this point
Musk bet him a dollar he wouldn't go through with it
I just imagine everybody standing board stiff holding their most sincere sieg heil salute while fighting back tears of rapturous emotion while Trump sways halfheartedly to Chumbawumba for twenty minutes
He has none. The test is for the corporate news. So far they’ve been failing with flying colors.
If you're a Republican Voter against Trump, but you're still going to vote Republican, then you're not really against Trump are you?

How is this not an onion article. This is exactly the kind of thing the onion would post!
This was my first real out-loud laugh of the day. Cheers!
Its the photo. You can just see it being real.
It was life on twitch as well. I reported the stream for bigotry
In all fairness I’d rather listen to music than hear this idiot talk
What a genuinely weird thing to do.
Trump is just trying to stay ahead of the game. US politics are very much vibes based. Trump is going to the next level by literally vibing on stage. Who needs a health care plan when you've got vibe. And he is genuinely weird because that's the Republican vibe, his weird vibe is appealing to his base.
Holy shit. It took me a long time to find it, but the video is somehow even weirder than I expected. That’s disturbing.

“Let’s make it into a music.” ???? And the dog killer next to him with a huge panic-smile for 30 minutes. Local doofuses on stage now thrust into this bizarro . . . meltdown? Senior moment? Looking like they really really want to go home. Wow.
If you've ever been to bad church, that is what it feels like.

He's trying his hand to become a disk jockey because he realized he can just call himself "DJ DJ"
Damn, that's a great idea.
New plan, we all still vote for Harris, but DJ DJ gets to play the victory party.
(And then he still goes to court, is found guilty, and locked up. DJ DJ in J.)
DOJ puts DJ DJ in da J.

People are still falling all over themselves to vote for this turd; to buy a huge stars and stripes decal of him and stick it on the back window of their Ford Raptor next to their Three Percenter decal. Buy a huge flag that says Trump 2024 FUCK YOUR FEELINGS and hang it on a flagpole by the front door to their house, on the street with kids riding their bikes outside.
And there's an ever growing uncertainty about whether or not this meatball is going to actually win or not.
They don't care about Trump, he is just a symbol. Trump getting elected legitimizes what Trump represents, and that is hate.
Success in life means you have God's (AKA karma/the universe/ect) approval. Becoming the president of the US is the ultimate sign of success and therefore also the ultimate sign of God's approval.
Having someone who openly and brazenly hates the same stuff you do get elected president is more than just a sign of approval, it is like a high five from Jesus and all the angels. That means that everything awful that Trump has done or is doing doesn't turn them off of him, instead it's just the opposite. His hate filled statements, his ties to Epstein, his obvious desire to fuck his own daughter... he is open and blatant about them, but he is still "winning". And therefore, all of the awful shit he does, and has done, is something that his followers can attain for themselves.
and this is why religion has to go. how the fuck this archaic thought process still dominates modern society is beyond me, but i cannot see a way out of this until religion is stomped into the ground by any means necessary. it is literally one of the top three roadblocks to a humane world.
Unfortunately, I personally believe that religion is a symptom of this type of mentality, not the cause. There is no cure, but teaching basic reasoning skills certainly helps. And that is why conservatives are targeting the education system.

I've read other accounts that apparently two people fainted in the crowd before he decided to play DJ? Is that real?
Everything about this story seems fake and incomprehensible
That's a misleading picture of it. Two people fainted, then paused for a bit, resumed and switched the format to having a speaker ask him questions. A couple of questions in he said "Let's not do any more questions. Let's just listen to music. Who the hell wants to listen to questions" and then wrapped up and seemed like he was done, but processed to bob to music for 39 minutes
The whole town hall is online, you can watch it yourself. Here's how he spends the last 40 or so minutes https://youtu.be/bDZgox580B0?t=7447
Is there any explanation for why the two people fainted though? That seems like a crazy ~~lead~~ lede to bury.... Was it random?
I mean the choice to stand there and play music is funny, but that whole event sounds like it came straight out of Veep
This is in no way meant to be pedantic just something I learned a few years back. In this context it's "lede". I often assumed it was lead as in the frontrunner or leader of the story.
thanks
From the comments made in the town hall, it sounds like the room itself was hot. Given how trump is usually super late to almost all of his events, people were probably standing for a while in a hot room
Lol, how often are people fainting at his events that it's a complete non-story when it happens twice at one event? And then he thought, "it's hot in here, let's just play some music and dance"
What a strange campaign

People standing with their knees locked in a hot room, especially older people. I saw it happen to an honor guard at a veterans function. The guy was old as hell trying to stand in the summer heat and went down.
