Former US President Donald Trump’s town hall event in Oaks, Pennsylvania, took an unexpected turn on Monday night when two people fainted due to the sweltering heat. As the former president was answering a question about his deportation policy, the crowd grew restless, with one person shouting, “It’s steaming in here!” Trump called on Governor Kristi Noem to instruct the Secret Service to open the doors to let in some air.
Moments later, Trump got up from his seat and approached the stage, where he asked the Secret Service agents to “open the door.” The crowd soon joined in, chanting “Open the doors!” Trump joked that he wished they could let people in from outside, but noted that the Secret Service couldn’t allow it for security reasons.
Trump then quipped that if the doors were opened, “you know what’s going to happen to them.” Noem intervened, reassuring the crowd that the woman who had fainted was recovering well and encouraging people to sit down if they needed to. Trump suggested that the event organizers should have installed air conditioning, and joked that they probably couldn’t afford it in the current economy.
The lighthearted moment was short-lived, as Trump soon began to suggest that the town hall turn into a “musical fest.” The crowd went wild, with some attendees taking to social media to express their enthusiasm for the impromptu concert. “After two people fainted at Trump’s Oak town hall, he turned it into a concert-we’re just listening to music and rocking out with the GOAT,” one Twitter user wrote.
Another user praised Trump’s DJ skills, writing, “WOW! Trump is now jamming out to ‘Rich Men North of Richmond,’ the song talking about how Americans are suffering while politicians in DC are thriving.” Meanwhile, a third user simply stated, “President Trump completed an awesome town hall in PA, but the guests weren’t ready to leave. So, DJ DJT fired up the mixers and played a set. Winning energy.” Trump’s unorthodox approach to the town hall event left a lasting impression on the crowd, and his impromptu performance was met with enthusiasm and excitement.
