Donald Trump’s final town hall in Pennsylvania turned into a spontaneous concert Monday after two medical emergencies at the crowd interrupted the evening’s event.
The 78-year-old Republican presidential candidate was about a half-hour into the event in suburban Philadelphia when a medical emergency interrupted the question-and-answer session. When he noticed a disturbance in the crowd, he asked for a doctor to be brought.
As the man was treated by paramedics and taken out on a stretcher, Trump acknowledged how hot the rallies were and requested an automated version of Ave Maria To be played over the sound system.
However, as he began to return to the Q&A, a second medical incident began to occur, and members of the crowd screamed for help.
“It appears, sir, that she is on her feet and walking out. “Let’s cheer her on,” Gov. Kristi Noem, the evening’s emcee, asked from the crowd as the woman was being attended to.
“I know it’s really warm here. Everyone agrees it’s really warm here. We have a lot of people who love America. I’m going to ask you if you have a chair to sit down so everyone around you can sit down and see the president.”
After the second incident, Trump joked with the crowd, asking if “anyone else would like to pass out.”
He then changed course for the evening, asking them “not to answer any further questions.”
