Trump Pleases Tired Crowd By Postponing Politics For Music In Pa. — Last night’s (Oct. 14) Trump Town Hall at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, Pa. will be legendary.
The venue maximum 5,000 crowd — some who can come from as far away as Indiana – packed the poorly ventilated, poorly concessioned facility after standing under the October sun for up to six hours.
When doors finally opened almost an hour behind scheduled about half found they had to continue standing.
The crowd had expected to hear The Donald take questions from audience members then give the expected answers with his trademark wry humor and exaggeration.
After taking a few and recognizing a Gold Star family in attendance, one of the crowd collapsed in a side bleacher. Trump put matters on hold and expressed concern. He obviously feared the worst. He asked that Ave Maria be played on the sound system. The man was carried from his seat and placed on a stretcher. As he was wheeled away, he recovered enough to raise his fist bringing forth loud cheers.
As Trump prepared to take the next question from moderator South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, a person collapsed in the bleachers on the other side. Trump again stopped matters as care was rendered.
Trump then harshly criticized the venue. Ignoring concerns from Secret Service, he ordered the roll-up doors used to truck in vendor displays opened, which greatly improved ventilation.
He then stopped the town hall and played music for the rest of the night to the crowd’s ecstatic delight. Most stayed until Trump finally stepped down from the stage, which was about an hour after the music started. His selection ranged from Pavarotti to Jeff Buckley to Sinéad O’Connor to, of course, The Village People. He ended with November Rain by Guns n’ Roses.
Newswise, long-time Democrat Peter Deutsch, who served more than 20 years as a Florida congressman took the podium to give an enthusiastic endorsement of Trump.
