Tuesday, October 15, 2024 - Donald Trump‘s town hall in the Philadelphia suburbs turned into an impromptu concert on Monday evening, October 14, after the former US president was twice interrupted by medical emergencies in the room.
The Republican presidential nominee paused during a
question-and-answer session as a doctor in the room attended to the first
person to have a medical issue. After a second emergency halted the discussion
moderated by South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, Trump stopped taking questions. He
and Noem mentioned it was hot in the venue, and Trump asked about air
conditioning.
“They probably can’t afford
it, sir, in this economy,” Noem quipped.
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 he wanted Italian opera singer Luciano
Pavarotti’s version of the song. It was played for him.
Once Noem announced the second person was up and moving, Trump 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?”
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.
More music, more dancing.
“Nobody’s leaving,” Trump
said. “What’s going on?”
More music played and for roughly 40 minutes, it didn’t
stop.
Trump danced onstage to a 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 decided the thing he would do instead of taking questions would be to start calling out songs he wanted played and dance. It went on for 39 minutes. People in the crowd seemed somewhat confused. One of the people on stage was checking things on his phone.” pic.twitter.com/HZg8k43gXx
