Trump’s bizarre turn at town hall has critics asking new questions about his health

Critics of Donald Trump say the former president’s strange town hall event Monday raises new questions about his health and mental stamina.

The question and answer event was paused when someone in the crowd fainted, then paused again when someone else fainted in the room, which Trump complained was too hot.

“Personally I enjoy this. We’re losing weight, you know,” Trump joked. “No, you lose weight. We could do this – lose 4 or 5 pounds.”

After the second person fainted, Trump decided to end the question-and-answer session.

‘Let’s not ask any more questions. Let’s just listen to music, he said. “Let’s make it a music festival. Who the hell wants to hear questions, right?

He called on his audio team to play “some really nice songs”, and then remained on stage for another forty minutes or so, swaying to the songs, speaking some of the lyrics and occasionally speaking his hands moving to the music.

He also occasionally commented on the music, such as “great song.”

Trump’s decision to halt the town hall questions comes after he canceled a “60 Minutes” interview and declined to participate in a second debate with his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris.

It also comes amid a new focus on his health and cognition due to speeches characterized by slurred words, confusion over names and location, and lengthy, extended digressions.

“I saw his skills decline in ’20 from ’16,” former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, once a Trump insider before becoming a critic, told New York Times columnist Frank Bruni on Sunday. “And you are still seeing significant declines.”

Trump’s critics on X said the former president’s strange appearance at Monday’s town hall-style event only adds to these questions:
