OAKS, Pa. ― Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump turned a town hall in Pennsylvania into a concert on Monday, singing along and dancing for nearly 40 minutes while his favorite hits played on stage.

“Turn it up. Great song,” Trump told supporters at a cavernous expo center in suburban Philadelphia as Jeff Buckley’s cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” blared from the speakers.

“How about this: We’ll play ‘YMCA,’” he said at another point to cheering supporters as the Village People song, a Trump crowd favorite, started up.

Trump initially took several questions from attendees in the audience about affordable housing and the economy but seemed to grow bored with the format after two people fainted in the audience, causing lengthy interruptions in the program.

“Let’s not do any more questions. Let’s just listen to music,” Trump said, directing his staff to play “a couple of real beauties.”

“Who the hell wants to hear questions?” he added.

After dedicating Schubert’s “Ave Maria” to the father of a service member who died in Iraq, Trump then decided to keep the music going, swaying on stage and fist-pumping to supporters while songs from Sinead O’Connor, Elvis Presley, Guns N’ Roses and others played.

“Nothing compares to you,” Trump mouthed to the crowd as O’Connor’s haunting vocals on “Nothing Compares 2 U” rang out in the room and her music video played on the screens.

A staffer walked up to Trump at one point and handed him a card. The former president pointed at it and nodded approvingly; a new song selection appeared to have been made. Then, seconds later, “Rich Men North of Richmond,” a song popular among conservatives but described by singer Oliver Anthony as criticism of all politicians, riled up the crowd.

Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung gushed over his boss on X, formerly Twitter, calling him “unlike any politician in history.”

He went to a town hall to answer questions, ignored the crowd for an hour while dancing to music and then didn't answer any questions.



He's so mentally unfit.

I watched a man speak about shit once. He said that 100% of the population will need medical intervention at some point in their lives. He asked why it should be any different for psychological/psychiatric interventions.
