Donald Trump‘s rally in Pennsylvania took an unexpected turn Monday evening when the former president invited the crowd to listen to music with him for nearly 40 minutes.
The meeting began with a brief question period in which Trump gave vague answers about how he plans to solve the housing affordability problem and help small businesses.
The exercise was stopped after less than 30 minutes when two participants required medical assistance.
After the second incident, Donald Trump asked his team to play the song Hail Mary to wait, before joking by asking the crowd if “anyone else would like to pass out.”
He then changed his approach.
“Let’s not ask any more questions. Let’s listen to music. Let’s make music out of it. Who wants to hear questions, right?” he said.
Musical session of almost 40 minutes
The event then turned into a session of listening to his favorite songs, all taken from the playlist he created himself for his gatherings.

For 39 minutes, he played nine songs while waddling around the stage.
Donald Trump is not well.

Members of the crowd began to leave the scene.
Trump spoke briefly again between songs.
“This is the most important election in the history of our country,” he declared, once again accusing Democrats of wanting to manipulate the elections.
However, he returned to his music by asking to play the song YMCA “very strong”.
The crowd clapped and danced. At the end of the song, Trump was surprised that many spectators were still present.
“No one leaves. What’s going on? Nobody leaves. Continue,” he said, while the version of Hallelujah by Rufus Wainwright resonated.
He left the stage November Rain by Guns N’ Roses.
“Donald Trump is not good”
Kamala Harris once again questioned Donald Trump’s mental health hours after the rally.
“Trump seems lost, confused and as if frozen on stage,” commented the Democrat’s campaign team, broadcasting a video of the incident on X.
Other video clips from the event have been viewed millions of times on social media.
Several Internet users highlighted the “bizarre” nature of the event, less than a month before the presidential election of November 5.
Donald Trump has long been obsessed with playing music at his rallies. His collaborators often said that he DJed on his plane or at his club in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.
Many musical artists, including Céline Dion, have also asked him to stop playing their music during his campaign events.
