What a genuinely weird thing to do.

[-] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 93 points 5 days ago

It's beyond a meme now. It's just the only way to describe him.

The context was that it was after two medical emergencies at the town hall I guess. It's still weird but there's a reason it was this derailed.

[-] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 62 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Still doesn't really explain it. Before he just said to stop asking questions, they had changed the format to just have a speaker ask him questions after resuming from the medical emergencies. He just gave up on it after only a few questions for no obvious reason

[-] GottaKnowYourCHKN@lemmy.world 47 points 4 days ago

The obvious reason is that he's not qualified to answer questions so he just avoided them altogether.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago

He's tired? He sure looks like it.

The reason is because his brain is mush.

This is worse than..."Please clap," by a mile. Jeb was making a joke, but it killed his chances. This should 100% kill his chances at winning......but it won't. This race makes no sense....

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 25 points 4 days ago

That makes no more sense than without context. A regular person would resume the town hall after the emergencies passed, or dismissed everyone. Keeping people there and playing random somes for twenty minutes is the action of a child or an idiot.

[-] bassomitron@lemmy.world 23 points 4 days ago

So... why wouldn't he just continue afterwards, like what happens at any other public event that has isolated medical emergencies? Or even cancel/reschedule? Heh.

[-] GoodEye8@lemm.ee 26 points 4 days ago

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.

He's trying his hand to become a disk jockey because he realized he can just call himself "DJ DJ"

[-] MimicJar@lemmy.world 51 points 4 days ago

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.)

I swear the guy is just limit testing at this point

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago

He has none. The test is for the corporate news. So far they’ve been failing with flying colors.

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.

[-] Hikermick@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

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

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 58 points 4 days ago

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 many musicians sending in cease-and-desist letters again?

[-] assembly@lemmy.world 35 points 5 days ago

I’m guessing it’s down to Ted Nugent and kid Rock.

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."

[-] IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 23 points 4 days ago

... 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."

And the crowd stood there for hours before, waiting on him to show. Did he take any questions at all or just all his shitty playlist and fainting? This guy is pathetic.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 17 points 4 days ago

That's kind of on them for being stupid enough to go to a trump event.

It was life on twitch as well. I reported the stream for bigotry

[-] Coreidan@lemmy.world 23 points 4 days ago

In all fairness I’d rather listen to music than hear this idiot talk

[-] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 32 points 4 days ago

Can I just say I'm happy there's a section of Republicans that think he needs to go, and are actively pushing him out?

The entire party isn't a hive mind i.e sharing one mind.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 32 points 4 days ago

Not a big enough section. He won the primaries by so much that there might as well have been no other options.

The real question is are those Republicans still going to vote for him on Election Day.

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.

[-] Test_Tickles@lemmynsfw.com 13 points 4 days ago

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.

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

[-] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 31 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

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
