Donald Trump had a town hall. It turned into a 39-minute listening party.
With exactly three weeks before the US presidential election, both candidates are blitzing the electorate with campaign stops, interviews, and town halls. Donald Trump was in Oaks, a town in the battleground state of Pennsylvania. It was supposed to be a town hall (moderated by dog murderer Kristi Noem, the governor of South Dakota) where he promised to answer questions from the audience.
He answered exactly two. And both were meandering messes.
It was hot in the venue and people started to faint. After a couple of these medical emergencies Trump said, “Let’s not do any more questions. Let’s just listen to music. Let’s make it into a music. Who the hell wants to hear questions, right?”
For the next 39 minutes, organizers did nothing but play music while Trump swayed and bopped along to some of his favourite songs–many of which are from artists who object to him using their music. The playlist included:
- Sinead O’Connor, Nothing Compares 2 U
- Ava Maria
- Andrea Bocelli, Time to Say Goodbye
- Village People, YMCA
- Rufus Wainwright, Hallelujah
- Elvis Presley, An American Trilogy
- Oliver Anthony, Rich Men North of Richmond
- James Brown, It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World
- Guns N’ Roses, November Rain
- Memory (from Cats)

During this…performance, people began to leave. Everyone else is wondering how America could elect this man to the most important political position in the world.
