TL;DR

It was unclear why Trump stayed on stage for so long and there was confusion about what was happening when he was up there.

Music played for more than 30 minutes as Trump stood on stage and occasionally made brief remarks in between songs.

    They should’ve laid out a trail of hamberders to lure him off stage.

    But what songs did he play? I’m intrigued.

    This reminded me of the hit 90s movie Super Mario Bros with John Leguizamo when the lead characters got the goomba guys dancing in the elevator.

      Apparently, the directors changed the ending entire story of that movie. If they had stuck to the original script, it would have made a lot more sense. There’s a YouTube video about it

      For the longest time I thought I hallucinated this movie in a fever dream or something. I must have seen it as a kid back in the nineties. But it makes so little sense that I guess I thought I imagined it lol. Watched it like a month back and uh, it might as well have been a fever dream hallucination lmfao

    Asked why Trump was still on stage, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung told CNN, “He’s here for the people. Not like loser Kamala Harris.

    How are we in such a shitty timeline that childish name calling is just unremarkable? Every trump supporter should be ashamed of themselves.

      Yeah, it’s grubby AF. I get that the strategy is to normalise calling your opponent a loser so it feels matter of fact, but it’s absolutely fucked that this is how major political candidates and operations work nowadays.

      (Also, Harris won the last election, won the nom, and is still up in the polls, whereas Trump has lost so many major contests since 2016 he’s uniquely qualified to be called a loser)

        This geriatric has dementia. He needs inpatient care. He has no idea where he is or what is happening around him in that video.

      Steven Cheung seems like a uniquely unpleasant person within Trump’s orbit.

        Unfortunately there are a lot of people just as unpleasant or worse in Donald’s orbit.

    The irony of the right wing insisting on jamming it to songs that mock or completely oppose their ideals by bands that would hate their guts is palpable

      When Bush Jr said that Fortunate Son was his favorite song, it enraged me.

    Just a reminder that fat donnie is always on some kind of drug that is not his actual prescription. Dude was high as fuck and decided to stay tripping out on stage. This is normal behavior for this walking train wreck.

      He mentions how good it feels or something to that effect and I can only assume whatever he took was kicking in.

    Im still convinced he will drop dead from dementia or someshit by the end of the year. I suspect that they are pumping him full of drugs to delay the inevitable, certain stimulants can reduce the effects of mental degradation or even reverse it minutely.

    It’s got to be a money thing this guy only acts if it means he loses money or gains money.

    It was probably a contractual obligation stay on stage for XX number of minutes and we’ll pay you or we’ll pull funding away from you whatever it was, it was enough to force him to stay on that stage, even if it meant he just stood there doing nothing.

      I think you’re giving ol’ poo-brain a little too much credit.
