Former President Donald Trump turned a town hall event in Pennsylvania into an impromptu listening party, playing a selection of tunes for over 30 minutes after the event was paused for medical emergencies. Trump swayed and danced along to songs like “YMCA” and “Memory” from “Cats.” The event was supposed to be a Q&A session but turned into a music session. Democratic nominee Kamala Harris criticized Trump’s performance, while a Republican campaign spokesman praised him for being unique. Trump paused the event twice for medical attention, playing songs like “God Bless America” and “Ave Maria” in tribute to a fallen firefighter. The event turned into a karaoke session, with Trump swaying to songs by Elvis Presley, James Brown, and Guns N’ Roses. There was confusion about when the event would end, with Gov. Kristi Noem of South Dakota suggesting playing a song before greeting supporters. The event continued with Trump attacking Harris and Biden, emphasizing the importance of winning Pennsylvania. Trump briefly danced to the music but did not make the classic “YMCA” letters with his arms. The event ended with a melancholic ballad, “Hallelujah” by Rufus Wainwright. The event was attended by 5,000 to 6,000 supporters and featured a mix of politics and entertainment.
