What a genuinely weird thing to do.
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.
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
The obvious reason is that he’s not qualified to answer questions so he just avoided them altogether.
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.
Oh I don’t disagree. Just thought it was worth mentioning
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…
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.
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.
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.
He’s trying his hand to become a disk jockey because he realized he can just call himself “DJ DJ”
Damn, that’s a great idea.
New plan, we all still vote for Harris, but DJ DJ gets to play the victory party.
(And then he still goes to court, is found guilty, and locked up. DJ DJ in J.)
Da Jail, so DJ DJ in DJ
Could we give him some DJ equipment while he’s in there so DJ DJ can DJ in DJ?
Don’t forget, the Department of Justice will have put him there, so DJ put DJ DJ in DJ, now DJ DJ gets to DJ in DJ.
DOJ puts DJ DJ in da J.
how many musicians sending in cease-and-desist letters again?
I’m guessing it’s down to Ted Nugent and kid Rock.
When I occasionally hear kid Rock on the radio, all I can think about is what a loser he is needing his daddy’s car dealership money to get him out in the rap scene.
How many Detroit rappers self fund a cd release that was able to sell 14000 copies? That is a lot of money in the 90s.
Back then, Esham and ICP.
Tom MacDonald?
Fucking implode already.
This dumbass is in a statistical tie with his opponent. Blows my mind.
It would blow my mind even if his opponent had zero qualifications. The fact that she’s actually competent and charismatic just adds to the surreality of the situation.
Have you considered his opponent is a non-white person? And a woman at that!
If Trump wins my faith in humanity is fully gone
Might as well accelerate climate change before we fuck Earth any further. We don’t deserve this planet.
Still kinda makes a lot of sense though. Pretty easy to see how the Simpsons, back to the future, etc could see it coming
I swear the guy is just limit testing at this point
He has none. The test is for the corporate news. So far they’ve been failing with flying colors.
I just imagine everybody standing board stiff holding their most sincere sieg heil salute while fighting back tears of rapturous emotion while Trump sways halfheartedly to Chumbawumba for twenty minutes
Musk bet him a dollar he wouldn’t go through with it
And the crowd stood there for hours before, waiting on him to show. Did he take any questions at all or just all his shitty playlist and fainting? This guy is pathetic.
He farted in tune though
I also like listening to music.
Literally Trump
We are all Trump on this blessed day.
I really want to hear the room chatter that was happening 5 minutes in. Surely after like 15 the sorts of people there would have been like ‘ok we’re vibing with the supreme leader listening to music, this is cool too’ but after 5 minutes there had to be some confused discussion that would be really funny to hear.
Watch the video on YouTube. Some in the crowd seemed to be trying to get riled up but besides YMCA the music was very mellow, very low energy. Do not trade mix tapes with Donald Trump
It’s like if you went to church, and the vicar said:
“You know what? I don’t fancy delivering this sermon with moral guidance. Lets just sing 10 hymns in a row.”… Y’all never had that happen?
“The Lord has other plans for the service today, so we’re going to continue in this state of worship.”
I grew up JW, and their meetings were very structured and organized. They do sometimes show videos and such, but a congregation is organized around not one pastor or anything but a whole group of them, any of who could do the main Sunday surmon (and I have seen subs often enough). They also have “ministerial servants” who are I guess basically elders(pastors I guess?) in training, and they often handled a lot of stuff too.
That makes sense. This church was ‘non-denominational’, which meant that if they could just have the church band play a jam session and still make money, they would.
Ive been to that church.
Not even good snacks at the potluck.
Honestly? I love hymns. Especially if the congregation sings in four-part harmony. I’d probably enjoy that more than a sermon.
And everyone would be fine with it because that’s obviously what the Lord wanted him to do.
The man who talks to God says sing hymns? Cool. Now he says have some kool-aid? Cool cool.
Truly this power could never be misused.
That’s a bingo!
How is this not an onion article. This is exactly the kind of thing the onion would post!
This was my first real out-loud laugh of the day. Cheers!
Its the photo. You can just see it being real.
That’s so fucking weird it hurts. Like genuinely embarrassing to the point I need Shoresy to really express it.
Shoresey?
Surely you mean the Coach, I mean… theres a trash can right there.
Can I just say I’m happy there’s a section of Republicans that think he needs to go, and are actively pushing him out?
The entire party isn’t a hive mind i.e sharing one mind.
The real question is are those Republicans still going to vote for him on Election Day.
"trump is the worst. He has no ideas, he's just an awful, bigotted, racist piece of shit. Nobody likes him." "Oh. Who are you going to vote for?" "...I guess I have to vote for trump."What a time to be alive.
The problem is that a normal person can be talked into doing something not in their best interest. A narcissist could only ever be lured away to something bigger.
So we let Donald be the ‘best’ DJ at the Kamala Harris win party?
Anything to keep that senile orange person out from government
Are you saying that all people with a certain mental disorder aren’t able to choose to be kind?
That’s an interesting framing device you’ve got there; But yes, in the cases of antisocial personalities and narcissists. They have a markedly diminished capacity for empathy.
Drag thinks that’s fake. Drag thinks everyone has the capacity for free will.
“Having the capacity for free will” is not even remotely the same as “being capable of making completely disposessed choices in every single circumstance”. When considering one’s options, different people in different situations give different weights to different factors.
Consider a person acting under the threat of being murdered if they don’t comply with some demand, like in an armed robbery. The fact that making certain choices, like refusing to cooperate, is in practice nearly impossible for them in this case has no bearing on whether or not they “have the capacity for free will” in a general sense. Likewise someone being manipulated by a person they fell in love with.
In the same vein, a narcissist is strongly compelled by internal factors to act only in ways that gratify their overinflated ego. While it may conceivably not be 100% impossible for them to go against this compulsion, it is extremely unlikely that it will even occur to them to do so, and given that it does occur to them to do so, it is extremely unlikely that they will choose that course of action. They act in predictable ways for this reason. The weights they place on certain factors are consistently different from average. This is entirely unrelated to the question of “free will”.
Sounds mega fake. You didn’t even cite any sources.
You made the original claim without citing any sources or even making a logical argument. I presented my reasoning. There is absolutely no reason for me to go to the trouble of citing sources when you made zero effort at all.
Also, facts that are common knowledge and/or self-evident do not require sources unless specifically challenged, and everything I said is both of these things.
JFC not this shit again.
Drag apologises if you don’t like free will debates. Drag will clarify that drag doesn’t have a non-determinist stance. Drag’s a compatibilist, and therefore thinks there’s no debate to be had over free will, and wishes everyone else would realise it too.
How old are you in human years?
I certainly do. Bye!
Talking trash about him on X isn’t actively pushing him out.
In all fairness I’d rather listen to music than hear this idiot talk
People are still falling all over themselves to vote for this turd; to buy a huge stars and stripes decal of him and stick it on the back window of their Ford Raptor next to their Three Percenter decal. Buy a huge flag that says Trump 2024 FUCK YOUR FEELINGS and hang it on a flagpole by the front door to their house, on the street with kids riding their bikes outside.
And there’s an ever growing uncertainty about whether or not this meatball is going to actually win or not.

This guy lives on the street behind me. He even has one of those garage projector things with the trump 2024 logo on it that he has up every night and a trump flag for each window of his car.
I’ve got two houses facing each other on my street who have been in a fascist flag competition for as long is I can remember. One of them even has an RFK sign next to his Trump yard sign. But yeah what I described above I saw on my way through a neighborhood in my small town. Its distressing!
That’s a man in need of help.
It’s both amusing and depressing to see all the rugged individuals loudly advertising what a vital subject they are.
Isn’t listening to music something that humans do?
Maybe at a concert, sure. But at a town hall? No.
“But Main Street’s still all cracked and broken”
Well said, Mortal. I’m glad you’ve spoken.
The ring came off my partners hand.
We’ll help you, friend, to find your band.
Were you sent here, Grand Admiral?
Well, not in this particular way, no. It’s like your boss call you for meeting and instead of discussing business, he listen to music 30min straight.
That… may be preferable to most meetings.
I would rather not be with the boss, but if we’re meeting anyway, I’d rather it be inconsequential.
I like human music
As an elf, I wouldn’t feel qualified to answer that.
