Donald Trump‘s town hall in the Philadelphia suburbs turned into an impromptu concert on the evening of October 14, following two medical emergencies in the audience.
During a question-and-answer session, Trump paused as a doctor attended to the first individual experiencing an issue. After a second emergency interrupted the discussion moderated by South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, Trump ceased taking questions, noting the heat in the venue and inquiring about air conditioning.
“They probably can’t afford it, sir, in this economy,” Noem quipped.
When the first interruption occurred, Trump requested “Ave Maria” to be played, leading to an instrumental version of the song. After the second incident, he clarified that he wanted Italian opera singer Luciano Pavarotti’s rendition, which was then played.
Once Noem announced that the second person was up and moving, Trump spoke for a few more minutes before suggesting music be played, as many attendees lingered, unsure if he was finished.
“Those two people who went down are patriots,” Trump remarked after the music. “We love them. And because of them, we ended up with some great music, right?”
He proposed wrapping up the evening with the audience enjoying some musical selections instead of more questions. Trump called for the Village People’s “YMCA,” which signaled the usual end of his speaking, but he remained onstage.

“Nobody’s leaving,” Trump said. “What’s going on?”
For about 40 minutes, the music continued, with Trump dancing onstage to a playlist that included Sinead O’Connor’s “Nothing Compares 2 U,” Rufus Wainwright’s cover of “Hallelujah,” and Guns N’ Roses’ “November Rain.”

CNN reporter:
“Trump decided the thing he would do instead of taking questions would be to start calling out songs he wanted played and dance. It went on for 39 minutes. People in the crowd seemed somewhat confused. One of the people on stage was checking things on his phone.” pic.twitter.com/HZg8k43gXx
