Donald Trump holding a city corridor in Pennsylvania with 3 weeks to go earlier than the election is smart — however spending greater than half an hour swaying to music, as an alternative of taking questions from voters … properly, that is a distinct story.
Possibly the previous president’s simply feeling so assured about his possibilities within the essential battleground state that he thought a dance get together was simpler than addressing the gang that gathered Monday night in Oaks, PA — however there he stood, dropping all of his meme-tastic strikes.
For a mind-boggling 39 minutes, Trump grooved — swayed, actually — to a bizarre playlist … together with “Ave Maria,” “Time to Say Goodbye,” “Hallelujah” and “Nothing Compares 2 U.” Hardly upbeat disco hits.
If this sounds, and appears weird, on video … think about how people within the venue felt. A lot of them filed out through the music.
Even Trump’s devoted supporter South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem — who was alleged to be moderating the city corridor dialogue — appeared confused as she needed to pivot to turn out to be a celebration MC. Take a look at her face when Trump known as for the DJ to play his fave, “YMCA,” actually loud.
He lastly exited to Weapons N’ Roses’ “November Rain” … and did get off the stage and mingle with among the remaining supporters on the finish.
As with all political rally lately, there are 2 views of Trump’s dance fever — Democrats assume it is a signal of his cognitive decline, whereas Republicans assume it was an excellent transfer … in response to 2 individuals within the crowd struggling medical emergencies.
In fact, that makes the selection to play, “Time to Say Goodbye” questionable.
