Trump's Mental State Questioned After Turning Penn. Town Hall into "Dance Party"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

More questions are being raised about Trump's mental state after a town
hall event in Pennsylvania took an unexpected turn on Monday when two
audience members fainted. Trump ended up taking just five questions from
the crowd before making this announcement.

Donald Trump: "Let's not do any more questions. Let's just listen to
music. Let's make it into a music. Who the hell wants to hear questions,
right?"

For the next 30 minutes, Trump's staff played music while the former
president swayed and bopped to the music on stage along with South
Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, who was hosting the town hall. Trump
eventually left the stage without taking any more questions. On Tuesday,
Kamala Harris responded to Trump's town hall by writing online, "Hope
he's OK."
