Ask And It Shall Be Answered

This is absolutely insane. Trump just froze up answering questions, said he wouldn’t take anymore questions, then stood on stage for the next 30 minutes while music played. Will media cover this as something other than a seriously bizarre cognitive episode??? Thread: https://t.co/oYujxS9xTs

It wasn’t a complete breakdown that left moderator Kristi Noem wondering what to say:

Trump: But we will listen to a couple of songs if you want and that is ok with me, I like it so we will do that, we will do those songs…

Moments later

Noem: So do you want to play your song and greet a few people?

Trump: What song?

No! According to the Grey Lady, Trump is a jazz singer riffing to an “improvisational departure.” Which is what you call ending a town hall after 30 minutes, and spending another 30 minutes standing on stage while recorded music plays. They could have just as well posted Steven Cheung’s tweet and saved themselves the typing:

The only thing missing from the Times coverage is speculation on why people fainted and forced Trump to “improvise”:

BREAKING: The Deep State is sending people in to fake passing out at Trump sweltering hot rallies to make him look bad. Soros is always plotting. https://t.co/mGmKCBbKtW

I’m sure the NYT will report it that way.
