What a genuinely weird thing to do.
Holy shit. It took me a long time to find it, but the video is somehow even weirder than I expected. That’s disturbing.

“Let’s make it into a music.” ???? And the dog killer next to him with a huge panic-smile for 30 minutes. Local doofuses on stage now thrust into this bizarro . . . meltdown? Senior moment? Looking like they really really want to go home. Wow.
If you've ever been to bad church, that is what it feels like.
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.
It's beyond a meme now. It's just the only way to describe him.
This is the way
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.
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....
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
He's tired? He sure looks like it.
Don't you think he looks tired?
I sure do, looks like he went from 65 to 90 this summer.
The obvious reason is that he's not qualified to answer questions so he just avoided them altogether.
Oh I don't disagree. Just thought it was worth mentioning
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.
