An attempt to portray former President Donald Trump as “confused” and senile was exposed as being inaccurate after left-wing corporate network ABC News squashed those claims, rather than promoting the same fabricated talking points as Kamala Harris’ campaign and other Democrat politicians.

A deliberate attempt was made to portray the GOP leader as suffering from cognitive decline and senility, similar to Harris’ own boss, President Joe Biden, which further exemplified the desperation of her 2024 campaign.
“Trump appears lost, confused, and frozen on stage as multiple songs play for 30+ minutes and the crowd pours out of the venue early,” posted Kamala Harris’ campaign X account.
However, the account conveniently left out that Trump was waiting to hear word on the medical emergencies that had occurred during the town hall, which led to two people being taken out by emergency responders and event workers.
“About half an hour into the event, one of the attendees had to be placed on a stretcher, at which point the audience started to sing God Bless America before Trump asked that Ave Maria be played. The second medical incident took place not long after,” the Independent reported.
ABC News countered the false narrative that the former GOP commander-in-chief had somehow experienced a senior moment during a town hall at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center and Fairgrounds in Oaks, Pennsylvania, despite a horde of liberal and leftist influencers making the hashtag “#TrumpIsNotWell” trend on social media.
Under the direction of South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem (R-S.D.), Trump improvised at the end of the event and hosted a little music party for supporters after two medical emergencies occurred back to back in the crowd, which appeared to be prompted by participants becoming overheated and passing out.
ABC News senior national correspondent Terry Moran said: “Well, in certain corners of social media people had a field day with that, and I guess on the screens it might have looked quite strange. Inside that hall, however, people were having a good time. What can I tell you? It did not seem out of the ordinary. It seemed almost intimate, and, at the end, Trump did something he very rarely does as he came down off the stage and mingled with his supporters,” he explained. “He was signing autographs and shaking hands and the like.”
“30 minutes in, two attendees suffered medical emergencies… The incidents shifted the mood, prompting Trump to cut the question[s] short and instead play some of his favorite music.”
When the first medical issue occurred during the event, the former president immediately called for a doctor and said, “Look at the quality of care we have… That’s amazing, what do you think?”
Following a second incident of a crowd member collapsing, Trump explained that the doors were to remain closed for security reasons before attempting to lighten the mood.
Nevertheless, the Kamala HQ X account still seized the opportunity to portray Trump as “lost, confused, and frozen on stage as multiple songs play for 30+ minutes and the crowd pours out of the venue early” by sharing a series of edited clips.
Additionally, another sarcasm-ridden comment, “I hope he’s okay,” was included by the vice president’s personal account as well.
While attendees relished the fresh air when the doors were opened and the songs began to play, it was clear from the town hall as a whole and from online videos that the crowd’s enthusiasm had kept the event going.
According to insiders who spoke with the press, Trump even sacrificed his own safety, with the onslaught of prior assassination attempts, by allowing the doors to be opened in order to avoid anymore people passing out.
“I had a Town Hall in Pennsylvania last night. It was amazing! The Q and A was almost finished when people when people began fainting from the excitement and heat. We started playing music while we waited, and just kept it going. So different, but it ended up being a GREAT EVENING!” Trump said on Truth Social.
