This would be hilarious if it wasn’t so scary. The AP article didn’t mention that Trump needed one of his handlers to come on stage – after 40 minutes – and take him away.
>After offering what appeared to be a closing statement and having his campaign play a James Brown song, Mr. Trump suggested taking another question or two. As the crowd cheered in approval, he said, “let’s go,” but then said he’d play “Y.M.C.A.” and send the crowd home.
>But after “Y.M.C.A.” ended, Mr. Trump seemed a little perplexed. “There’s nobody leaving,” he said. “What’s going on?” The audience cheered, and so the music kept going, as Ms. Noem stood awkwardly by, and many in the audience seemed unsure about whether the event was over.
>Still, as one song became two, then three, many of those in the back of the house began to filter out. As the opening chords of the Guns N’ Roses power ballad “November Rain” played, one of Mr. Trump’s aides, Justin Caporale, came on the stage with a sheet of paper. Mr. Trump briefly reviewed what had been handed to him, and the two chatted briefly. Then, seconds later, Mr. Trump decided he’d had his fill. He waved, pumped his fist, and finally made his way off the stage.
While dancing next to that botoxed dog killer Kristi Norm the entire time
So weird…
Nice title NYT. Do all the heavy lifting. Please.

I wonder how many people it took to come up with the absolutely most gentle headline for this possible.
Every time I see this story they knock off a couple minutes
Detour sounds so fucking quaint.
More sanewashing.
They needed to reboot the servers
Did he do the double jerk motion or has he stopped doing that since it gained such attention?
Folks this isn’t normal. This man should be nowhere near the Oval Office. He should be in an old folks home drinking Diet Coke with a straw. The fact that his cult are brainwashed to the point they don’t see a man losing his marbles. This isn’t normal behavior.
Chump is doing his best Jim Jones impersonation here. The video is pretty wild. Reports have it that Chumps campaign didn’t want to pay for the AC to be run at this town hall.

Why are we still calling this odd? It’s really fucking weird, deranged, and speaks to his ever-accelerating mental decline. The mental gymnastics still being done to paint him in a positive light really need to stop.
This was one of the strangest things that I’ve ever seen a political candidate in contention running for office do at a political campaign event by far, but apparently the media doesn’t think so.
And not a single mention of this on Foxnews’ website and guessing their TV station either.
Even the way he “conducts” the music is creepy! More like an old school “hot doll” silhouette motion than conducting music.
Did he do his famous double air jacking move for all that time? It would be the most cardio he’s had in decades.
I’m a neuroscientist and I would bet my life that his prefrontal cortex is Swiss cheese. He has *no idea* where he is, what he’s doing, why he’s doing it, or what’s appropriate. Zero executive function or self-restraint.
ETA that the media writing this off as “odd” is infuriating. This is the guy asking for the nuclear codes, actively having a >30-minute-long mental breakdown.
Dementia Don, sundowning on stage while the cult cheers and sways along to the music – so weird.
Hope everyone is registered and planning to vote against this imbecile in a few weeks or earlier if possible.
Since Biff was there for the *clearly stated* purpose of Q&A, responding to **questions** directly posed by supoorters, it makes uncanny sense – *for him* – to utterly avoid that exact activity.
I didn’t know Noem was on tour with him, why isn’t she his VP?
Man what the fuck are we doing letting this guy get this close to power again
WHERE ARE HIS CHILDREN!? This is ridiculous.
Very weird. Like a scene from Curb Your Enthusiasm or something.
A vote for Trump is a vote for Vance.
I’m just waiting for all the responses from the artists whose music he used against their wishes last night. Good God that man is infuriating.
If the exact same thing was done by Harris, MAGA world would be going nuts.
But for Mango, perfectly fine and normal.
Abandon the NY Times, demand that they stop sane-washing an advanced dementia patient and his many fascist friends who want to use him to win the presidency!
FFS. Be fucking honest with these headlines. It wasn’t a “odd town hall detour,” that makes it seem funny and whimsical. And it wasn’t “30 minutes,” it was nearly 40 minutes, they keep knocking time off it. It was a demented old man, having a mental meltdown as his brain eats itself, and making a whole crowd of people watch. It was him too cowardly to face unfiltered questions from the public, and also being too narcissistic to admit it. It was him trying and failing to make it seem intentional, when it was just his brain falling apart on him.
This is what we mean when we say the media has unacceptable double standards with regards to Trump. They treat him with kid gloves, constantly sanitizing and sane-washing everything he says and does, in some misguided attempt to appear “impartial.” Well guess what, reality is harsh. It’s not impartial. What do you think they would say if Biden did this? What do you think they’d say if Biden even just did that for a minute? They tore Biden apart for having a cold at a debate. If Biden had a meltdown on this scale, they’d be shouting from the rooftops for his immediate resignation from the presidency.
But because it’s Special Boy Trumpy Wumpy, it’s just a “odd town hall detour” or “bopping and swaying to the music,” or “called off early due to medical emergencies in the crowd.” No, Trump is mentally gone, the lights are on but nobody’s home, he’s cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. He’s blatantly unfit for office, and our media is failing us by pretending otherwise. It’s like the Daily Prophet from Harry Potter, but worse because the government isn’t leaning on them, the media has just decided to do this on their own, for the sake of their precious Both Sides narratives and the compulsive need to make everything into a photo-finish horse race.
Great choice republicans
So far 40 minutes, then 39 and now it is 30…
The fact so many of his supporters stayed just to watch him sway to the worst music you’ll hear in your life without ever actually saying anything of substance is proof they worship this man. Vote them out and vote them away
“odd Detour”, full blown on-stage dementia episode
potato, po-tah-to
Mainstream media is sanewashing once again.
He also stood around using the chair to prop himself up.
Dude isn’t stable enough to stand, much less be President.
Yeah, also, Noem is disgusting. If she kissed his ass any harder she’d have shit on her nose.
The very best word the NY Times can muster is “odd.” Fuck them.
I think he’s on some new drugs to help keep him going…this is very unusual.
I don’t get how people can vote for such a human being and how he can be in lead even if it is a close race atm…
Seriously can some American explain it to a foreigner?
Again, imagine of Biden had done this. You would see back to back news coverage on every single news media. Especially on fox, they’d have 24hours coverage. But notice how on top of canceling debates, interviews, and now this. We barely have media saying this is not normal.
I’m so frustrated that the media is continuing to coddle Trump, as they have for the last 8 goddamn years.
Man this is…. Bad. Like really bad, scary. I’m laughing partially because I delight in watching the meltdown but also to cover up the pain of nearly half of the country support this. This again makes me wonder if his supporters (some of them) even know how bad he’s getting. Like do some of them not ever watch a rally and think ‘man something is wrong with him.’
Like this isn’t what Biden had where he had old man foggy brain and slow downs and got things mixed up this is legit mental meltdown dementia, cognitive malfunction. Insane that he is the candidate to be president. Imagine if Biden did this for even 5 minutes, he’ll ONE minute let alone FOURTY FUCKING MINUTES. The 25th would’ve been invoked before he could step off the stage.
Just so, so, so deeply weird. Like it’s hard to even describe how strange this must have been in person. Noem is obviously dying inside trying to figure out an off ramp and a Trump handler had to come on stage and basically walk him off stage.
Again he just lied and made things up and slurred through answers talking about how he knows the shape of guns, houses spell out guns or something? Just shockingly apparent regarding his mental decline. He must lose.
The whole world is watching this bizarre election in disturbed astonishment.
I’m just absolutely mystified at how this election could even be remotely close. I know that some of my fellow Americans may not be as intelligent as others but I did not think we had this many absolute fucking morons.
