The election is in three weeks, and Pennsylvania is a must-win state for both Trump and Kamala Harris, but during a rally last night in Montgomery County, northwest of Philadelphia, Trump got bored with the event, billed as a “town hall,” and just played music for almost 40 minutes, scowling, smirking, and swaying onstage. Trump is no stranger to surreal moments, yet this was one of the oddest of his political career.

This kind of behavior would have resulted in discussion of dementia and Alzheimers if it was a Democrat.

    Did you read the article? They’re suggesting he has dementia/significantly decreased mental faculties. There were 2 medical emergencies, yes, but those were done and over with and he still chose to declare he wouldn’t be taking questions after all and made his staff put on his favorite playlist for the rest of the “townhall.” To me, that’s the sign of someone who has broken down and just straight up isn’t fit to lead anyone, let alone a country (his horrible policies aside).

      Did you watch the video?
      No one should believe everything they read.

        I did watch the video. A sane person says “Sorry folks, that’s all for today, here’s where we’ll be next time.” You don’t stand on stage for nearly 30 minutes at a public event where you’re supposed to be answering questions just swaying back and forth like it’s prom night at the senior center.

        It’s just an incredibly bizarre occurrence in a long line of other incidents that have people concerned about his mental faculties.
