OAKS, PENNSYLVANIA: GOP nominee Donald Trump cut short the Q&A session at a town hall event in the battleground state of Pennsylvania on Monday, October 14, after a couple of his supporters suffered medical episodes, reported the Daily Mail.

The event strayed away far from what was planned, as the former president took the stage with South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem to answer questions primarily on the economy and immigration.

Donald Trump starts playing music at his campaign event

According to the publication, the heat in the overcrowded exhibition hall played spoilsport, as two attendees collapsed and people tried to make their way out of the venue. It was then that Trump decided to take the event off the planned track.



 

Trump was alerted to a commotion in the crowd thirty minutes into the Q&A and called for a doctor to attend to a collapsed supporter. A second attendee was taken ill minutes later, leading to people around the person waving their campaign signs like fans.

As the proceedings stopped, those crowded at the back in the overheated ball headed for the exit. To get back the attention of the crowd, Trump then said, "Let's not do any more questions. Let's just listen to music."

"While we're waiting ... So we had a beautiful evening, and I don't know if they could get this song up quickly, but if they could work really quickly backstage while we're waiting ... Ave Maria," he stated.

The instrumental version of 'Ave Maria' was first played, and the next featured Pavarotti. The songs that followed included 'November Rain' by Guns and Rose, 'Memory' from the show Cats, and 'It's a Man's World' featuring Pavarotti and James Brown.

Trump ended the evening by requesting 'YMCA' to be played, and reminding his supporters to "get out there" and vote.



 

"We have to win. This is important," he said. "If we win Pennsylvania we win the whole thing."

Internet mocks Trump for turning a campaign event into a concert

Netizens trolled Trump for swaying to music at his town hall while reacting to the incident on the social media platform X. The following tweets demonstrate their takes.

"Isn’t that the send-off music they play during the Oscars when you’ve overstayed your welcome," quipped another.



 

"He should play Send in the Clowns," jibed a third.



 

"He looks & sounds like he is conducting a telethon for his legal bills, not a campaign rally," shared a fourth.

"This entire thing was weird as hell," commented yet another.
