YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAfter two attendees had separate medical issues at Donald Trump's town hall with supporters in the Philadelphia suburbs on Tuesday, the former president stopped the question-and-answer session and asked that music be played for the remainder of the event.
Trump paused the Q&A with South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem while a medic in the room attended to the first person. During the pause, attendees in the room began to sing “God Bless America.” Later, the GOP presidential nominee asked that “Ave Maria” be played and an instrumental version of the song played over the sound system.
After resuming the discussion, a second person had a medical issue. Trump and Noem again paused the Q&A after attendees stood and pointed out that someone needed medical attention.
Both Trump and Noem commented on the warm temperature inside in the room.
After the second incident, Trump asked that “my favorite chart” displaying illegal immigration numbers be displayed and the version of “Ave Maria” sung by Italian opera singer Luciano Pavarotti be played.
Trump and Noem remained on stage and more music, including “Y.M.C.A.,” played during the event. Music then played for around 25 minutes before Trump left the stage.
