Trump Dances for 40 Minutes during Campaign Rally: ‘Let’s Listen to Music’

THE GUARDIAN: Ex-president swayed to songs such as YMCA and Ave Maria during Pennsylvania event after two attendees fainted

Opposition outrage over Donald Trump’s rabble-rousing demagoguery turned to bewilderment after the Republican nominee spent 40 minutes swaying to his favourite songs at a rally near Philadelphia, prompting Kamala Harris to express apparent concern for his mental state.

“Hope he’s okay,” Harris, the US vice-president and Democratic nominee, posted on social media, accompanying footage of a performance that many observers agreed was bizarre, even by Trump’s standards.
