Swaying To The Oldies With DJ Donald

39 minutes. That’s how long the Insult Comedian swayed to the music in the company of noted dog-killer Kristi Noem in the Philly suburbs on Tuesday. It was so bizarre that the New York Times felt compelled to write about it:

“But the event’s tone shifted about 30 minutes in, when two people in the crowd needed medical attention after apparently passing out.

As medical personnel responded to the first incident and the room grew tense, Mr. Trump asked his campaign staff to play a rendition of “Ave Maria.” Minutes later, after the person was removed on a stretcher, Ms. Noem tried to return to the question-and-answer session. But that effort stopped abruptly because a second person, a woman, also suddenly needed medical attention.

After the woman got up and walked to the periphery of the event, Mr. Trump called for some air conditioning in the venue. Ms. Noem, trying to get back on message, made a joke about inflation, saying, “They probably can’t afford it, sir.”

Then, Mr. Trump suggested a return to his comfort zone. He called up a chart on immigration that he has displayed at nearly every recent campaign rally and ordered up “Ave Maria” again. And after it played one more time, Mr. Trump decided to end the question-and-answer session after just five questions.

“Let’s not do any more questions. Let’s just listen to music,” he said. “Let’s make it into a music ——. Who the hell wants to hear questions, right?”

The campaign called it a love fest, I call it a fugue state. It’s yet another example of the Insult Comedian’s cognitive decline.

Here’s a sample:

Who the hell wants this guy in the situation room during a crisis? He could have different reactions depending on the music played: Ave Maria would lead to a peaceful Pavarottic resolution to a crisis, but YMCA could result in Trump’s donning a war bonnet and launching a missile strike. I don’t know what playing November Rain in the situation room would lead to, let’s give it a try:

Perhaps Trump could be encouraged to join Slash in front of that church in the middle of nowhere. He could sway there and leave the rest of us alone.

I wonder if the Kaiser of Chaos thought he was at Mar-A-Doorn. He’s known to DJ in the ballroom there. It was certainly an odd response to people passing out at the rally. He did not, however, play anything from The Cease & Desist Top Ten List.

An alarming and less commented upon aspect of the rally was the backdrop saying: Trump Was Right About  Everything.

Dr. Ben-Ghiat is a history professor at NYU. Her specialty is authoritarianism, so she knows from Fascists.

Repeat After Me: Donald Trump is a Fascist to the core.

I’m glad that the legacy media has belatedly noticed the deteriorating mental condition of the Insult Comedian. Team Trump made this an issue with its attacks on President Biden’s mental acuity. Can you imagine the reaction if Joe had swayed to music for 39 minutes? At least Kristi Noem didn’t kill a dog to distract attention from Trump’s fugue state. 39 minutes? Oy, just oy,

Let’s sway to the music with The Rolling Stones:

One thought on “Swaying To The Oldies With DJ Donald”

  1. With the wild, glassy-eyed smiles of his supporters, fainting audience members, the thought-negating sign at the rear of the stage, and him just swaying and calling out songs for over half an hour, this is solidly in Jim Jones-type territory…
