Trump cut short a campaign Q&A session to sway on stage to ‘Time to Say Goodbye’ and the jokes practically wrote themselves – 17 favourite reactions
Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are both in Pennsylvania, battling for hearts and minds in the crucial swing state.
Trump’s Q&A session in Oaks ran into a little trouble after two people fainted, with Trump blaming a lack of air conditioning, although the possibility that they were bored into a stupor hasn’t been ruled out. Here’s Trump inviting more people to faint.

He cut short the question section of the evening, and let’s face it – he wasn’t going to answer them anyway. Instead, he swayed onstage as music played. The first song – a special request from Trump – was probably used without permission and definitely not the best choice for a man fighting to stay in politics.
Wow — this was weird. Trump wrapped up his "town hall" in Oaks, Pennsylvania, after just a few questions, and right after he said he would take a few more questions. More music then played while Trump stood around on stage. Deeply bizarre scenes. pic.twitter.com/C3SJpsQagV

It seems the irony of playing Time to Say Goodbye was totally lost on Trump. That wasn’t even the oddest thing. The former President swayed to an eclectic playlist as the hall emptied, and we can’t work out if it was a flex about being able to stand for that long without leaning on a podium or he was hypnotised by the sick choooons.

Kamala Harris was a little concerned for his wellbeing.
Hope he's okay. https://t.co/WGhGteFpjm

This might be the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life.
This just happened and the audio was not changed in anyway.
Look what song he chose.

Is that the song his aides have to play to bring him back from the brink? “Quick! Get the song! He’s gonna blow!”

This is hilarious as Trump realises what the chorus, in English, says! Not only that but it’s a long time to stand around in soiled undergarments.

Andrea Bocelli should send a cease and desist.

You know, the part of political rallies where the candidate stands there awkwardly half-swaying while Sarah Brightman sings "Time To Say Goodbye"
There has never been an older person than Donald Trump. https://t.co/QYahSAIasF

WTF "Time To Say Goodbye". Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli the greatest duo and a beautiful song.
There's no way he got permission to play this.

That song is often times played at funerals. Trump is fading, bigly!

Guaranteed he heard this playing at the Bellagio Fountains in Vegas and thought it was some classical music from the 1700s and not something from 1995.

Isn’t that the send off music they play during the Oscars when you’ve overstayed your welcome.

I was waiting for Trump to do some Sarah Brightman soprano karaoke… instead he just pulled the Mickey Mouse Fantasia maestro bit… with zero pizzazz.

Music hath charms to soothe a savage breast.
When dementia patients get agitated, playing music for them often calms them down.
