Donald Trump Listens to Music for 40 Minutes as Supporters Faint During 2024 Campaign Event
Donald Trump experienced an unusual moment in his 2024 presidential campaign during a town hall in Montgomery County. Two supporters fainted due to overheating at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, prompting Trump to halt the event.
“Let’s not do any more questions,” Trump stated. “Let’s just listen to music … Who the hell wants to hear questions?”
The incident, as reported by The Inquirer, occurred about 40 minutes into the event hosted by South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem. Trump turned the evening into a playlist session, standing on stage to songs like “Ave Maria” and “Time to Say Goodbye.”
NPR reported that attendees complained about the heat, leading to the fainting incidents. Trump humorously remarked about the temperature, saying, “Personally, I enjoy this,” and joked about weight loss.
During the event, Trump mistakenly told supporters to vote on January 5th and referenced Hannibal Lecter, likening undocumented immigrants to the fictional character. “He was a sick puppy and we have sick puppies coming into our country,” Trump explained.
